Praise for Emily Sullivan:
“Fans of The Durrells in Corfu, a hugely popular Masterpiece Theater drama set in the ‘30s, will appreciate this prequel of sorts, as will fans of cozy historical mysteries by Rhys Bowen, Jacqueline Winspear, and Amanda Flower.” —firstCLUE on A Death on Corfu
“This entertaining, immersive read is perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn’s Veronica Speedwell series and the PBS TV series The Durrells in Corfu.” —BookPage on A Death on Corfu
“Period romance, intrigue, and murder on the beautiful island of Corfu are the setup for a new series…A mystery steeped in Greek atmosphere, a budding love story, and answers that lie in the past.” —Kirkus Reviews on A Death on Corfu
"This delightful caper through clues, suspicion, and romance held me captivated, while the charming Greek setting left me craving the next installment!" —Alyssa Maxwell, author of Murder at the Elms on A Death on Corfu
“Emily Sullivan has created a delightful period mystery with a refined Victorian voice, two unlikely sleuths, a Greek island, and an underlying romance. A treat for fans of historical mystery!” —Dianne Freeman, USA Today bestselling author of the Countess of Harleigh mysteries on A Death on Corfu
“Death in Corfu has every element that makes a mystery work for me: a smart, pragmatic heroine, an exotic locale, an interesting love interest, and of course, a compelling murder. I can’t wait for Minnie’s next adventure!” —Colleen Cambridge, author of Mastering the Art of French Murder on A Death on Corfu
“Brilliantly showcases [Sullivan’s] mastery of deep characterization as well as her gift for crafting a wit-infused plot that effectively threads the needle between desire and danger without dropping a single stitch.” —Booklist Starred Review for The Rebel and the Rake
“The literary charms of Sullivan’s superbly written debut are many, including a full cast of deftly nuanced characters, an exquisitely evoked Italian setting that would impress E.M. Forster, love scenes that deliver both emotional intensity and lush sensuality, and vivacious writing enhanced by ample measures of wit.” —Booklist Starred Review on The Rebel and the Rake
Minnie Harper isn't used to putting herself first. Not after she moved away from England only to be left raising two children alone on the Greek Island of Corfu following her husband's unexpected death. But with her daughter begging to be sent to school abroad and her son grasping at his own independence, Minnie realizes she must prepare for the next stage of her life.
When famous mystery author Stephen Dorian settles into a neighboring villa to escape writer's block and hidden scandals, she is intrigued at first by the handsome Londoner-until he proves to be nothing more than a boorish grump. Determined to avoid the man as much as possible, Minnie is shocked when he offers her a well-paid job as his typist.
But before Minnie can fully regret her decision to take the job, she makes a horrifying discovery that changes everything. A young maid has been murdered, and local authorities aren't moving fast enough to bring justice to the terrible crime. Unwilling to allow the death to fade into obscurity like so many other women, Minnie launches an investigation of her own-and reluctantly accepts Stephen's help. As she embarks on a dangerous search for answers that reveals another side of Corfu, unsettling questions take shape about her employer-turned-confidant and the culprit who just might do whatever it takes to strike again . . .
