Amateur sleuth Astrid Swift swaps the sporting summer in England for a
British expat enclave in Spain, where everyone has a secret reason for
leaving the UK.The sunniest days, the deadliest nights. Amidst the
sun and sangria, something sinister is lurking on the Spanish coast.
Usually a sleepy seaside enclave, Estopena has instead found itself
rattled by a poison-pen campaign that is teasing out its residents'
secrets on social media. Astrid Swift sailed to the sunny beaches
with the intention of reconnecting with her estranged father. Instead of
an emotional reunion, though, she's been tasked with catching who's been
threatening his new wife. Soon Astrid is entwined in the lives of these
expats, from the boozy local heckler to the socially awkward
beachcomber. But can she find the internet troll before it's too late
for the town? Or will each revealed secret tear this cosy community -
including Astrid and her father - even further apart? Praise for the
Astrid Swift mysteries: 'Feelgood fun.' The Times
