'A gripping high-octane masterpiece' - Andrew Child
To make the perfect Spanish whodunnit cocktail, take one dead gangster, mix in six shifty expats, add one ruthless baddie and garnish with a suspicious police officer . . .
Daniella Coulstoun has recently moved to the Costa Blanca. When the dead body of a prominent London gangster is discovered in the cellar of her bar she quickly becomes the number one suspect.
With the police closing in, the local expats turning on her and a psychotic rival to the dead gangster in the background, Daniella knows she needs to nail the real killer, and fast.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Morgan Cry has come up with the perfect summer novel... strikes the perfect balance between seriousness and light-heartedness, and there are some moments of real genius thrown in the narrative' * Dundee Courier * 'Told with trademark wit and flair, Six Wounds is a brilliant, pacey, riveting read. A roller coaster of a Euro-thriller, it's Morgan Cry (Gordon Brown) at his best. I'm already looking forward to the next one!' -- Abir Mukherjee 'From its explosive opening to its bone-crunching finale, Six Wounds is a gripping high-octane masterpiece' -- Andrew Child, (Lee's brother and Jack Reacher co-author) 'It's murder on the Costa del Sol as a fearless Daniella unearths just how far the Expats will go to cover their murky pasts - highly recommended' -- Lin Anderson 'Dark, disreputable and hugely entertaining. I loved it!' -- Marion Todd 'A tight, taut and totally terrific read from Morgan Cry. Smart characters, smart dialogue and a smart plot' -- Douglas Skelton 'Six Wounds by Morgan Cry is just brilliant. Sunshine, a body, a bar, a kick-ass but funny protagonist, and the action never stops. I romped through it and loved every page. Highly recommended. All the stars' -- Helen Fields 'Morgan Cry possesses that rare magic of being able to tell a dark tale with light humour. So great to be back with Daniella - a woman who just can't seem to shake trouble. A breakneck speed read that explodes on to the first page - literally - and doesn't let up' -- Deborah Masson 'Six Wounds from Morgan Cry, deliciously dark laced with Scottish humour on the Costa del Crime - do NOT miss this one!' -- Sharon Bairden 'A cracking, pacey whodunit with villainous villains, dodgy expats and a whip smart protagonist in Daniella Coulstoun...

And the second, Six Wounds, certainly delivers... riveting.' * The Sunday Post * 'The storyline is spot on, the pacing is perfect, the rising tension occasionally lightened by sunshine and humour.' * SimplySuzeReviews * 'From that opening scene to the very end had me gripped!' * Gemz Books * 'Gripping and pacy, a real roller-coaster of a read.' * Random Things * 'It's edgy, fast-paced, engaging and serves you with the right kind of suspense and thrill that won't disappoint.' * Surjit's Book Blog * 'Six Wounds is an action-packed, entertaining mixture of pacy thriller and gritty whodunnit. An ideal summer read.' * LoveReading *
