WATTYS2024 SHORTLIST | The Ambys 2024 Grand Favourite in Mystery/Thriller | 6 x FEATURED When a brash, rich woman, washes ashore, in a quiet country town, with a knife sticking out of her back, she promises something. A darn good story, and a chance to get out of dodge for the young inspector. But will he solve his first crime, or will he mix business with pleasure and learn to regret the whole thing? *** Devi Dhungel is broken. She's bruised. And she appears to be dead! When she washes ashore on the beach of a secular country town, gossip flutters: 𝑊ℎ𝑜 𝑖𝑠 𝘴𝘩𝘦? 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑛 Mystery Cove? 𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑒𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝘦? 𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑠𝑒, 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑜𝑛 𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡ℎ 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑙 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤ℎ𝑦? Questions that also plague the lonely-yet-handsome town inspector, Hector Juan Martinez. For a man who's been searching for a little oomph in his life, Devi Dhugel brings it in spades. For him, solving the biggest crime to land on his lap could secure a promotion, or at least get him a transfer out of boreville. It's a doable task for the kind-hearted cop if only the victim of the attempted murder would stop lying about being some hotshot author he's never heard of and tell him the real story. Or he may be tempted to get rid of her himself, damn the promotion! This is Murder on the Orient Express, without the murder, of course. And only one man can solve it. Hector Martinez. But first, he's got to figure out what he's doing. *** Genre: COSY MYSTERY X ROMANCE Wordcount: 124K This is a first draft, so may contain errors/typos which will be fixed in edit rounds.
