Sometimes murder is only the beginning...
Murder follows Oz Blackstone to Spain in On Honeymoon with Death, Quintin Jardine's gripping mystery. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and Peter Robinson.
'Jardine manages to combine the picturesque with the thrilling and the dream-like with the coldly rational' - The Times
Returning to L'Escala, the idyllic Spanish village where they were once so happy, Oz Blackstone and Primavera Phillips are looking to forget the past. But old ghosts are not so easy to placate, and the shadow of Oz's childhood sweetheart Jan, now tragically dead, is threatening to turn their relationship into a seething cauldron of recrimination. Until a body turns up face down in the swimming pool of their new villa, and suddenly they are very much back in the harness again. Faced with the indifference of the local police, Oz and Prim are forced to investigate the murder themselves, and soon they begin to uncover a nest of vipers beneath L'Escala's sunny exterior...
What readers are saying about On Honeymoon with Death:
'An intricately woven plot set in [a] beautiful landscape... one of his best books'
'Another great read with so many twists and turns... So difficult to put down once you start'
'Five stars'

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Quintin Jardine was born once upon a time in the West - of Scotland rather than America, but still he grew to manhood as a massive Sergio Leone fan. On the way there he was educated, against his will, in Glasgow, where he ditched a token attempt to study law for more interesting careers in journalism, government propaganda, and political spin-doctoring. After a close call with the Brighton Bomb in 1984, he moved into the even riskier world of media relations consultancy, before realising that all along he had been training to become a crime writer. Now, forty novels later, he never looks back.
Along the way he has created/acquired an extended family in Scotland and Spain. Everything he does is for them.
