Mystery

A Death on Corfu

By Emily Sullivan

It’s the turn of the 20th century. Minnie Harper is an English widow who lives on the Greek island of Corfu with her two children. They moved there when her late husband retired from the British foreign service. To make ends meet, she does occasional secretarial work. When mystery writer Stephen Dorian arrives to finish his latest bestseller, he hires Minnie to type the manuscript. Then, a local girl turns up murdered. Minnie and Dorian set out to find the killer in this cozy mystery.
