For many fans of long-running mystery series, there’s usually some kind of “hook” that captures their interest and spurs them to read more. It might be the time period or locale; for example Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody series is set in Egypt the late 1800s through the early 1920s. Or Tony Hillerman’s Leaphorn & Chee series, a contemporary series set in the Four Corners and the Navajo Nation. Then again, it might be the main character’s profession that draws the reader in–like the medical examiner Kay Scarpetta created by Patricia Cornwell.
And for readers looking for traditional whodunits set in locales around the globe, don’t miss Cathy Ace’s award-winning Cait Morgan Mysteries. This long-running series features a Welsh Canadian criminology professor and sleuth. If you’re a fan of Agatha Christie, you’ll love this brilliantly paced and plotted series, with plenty of twists and turns in every book that will keep you guessing right to the end.
And speaking of awards:
“How could an experienced pearl diver drown in calm waters protected by a coral reef? That sounds…suspicious…”
When Welsh Canadian criminal psychologist Cait Morgan literally bumps into a body floating in a picturesque lagoon on the paradise island of Tahiti, she and her retired cop husband Bud Anderson find themselves engulfed by the tragedy.
Before long, our investigative duo realizes that not everything is as perfect as it appears at the luxury beach resort where they’ve been hosted as ‘test guests’. Diving beneath the surface of the seemingly placid lives of the people Cait believes she has come to know, it becomes clear that many dark secrets have been lurking, hidden in the depths…and she finds herself awash with doubts about her abilities, and suspects. When another calamity befalls their group, Cait and Bud know they must act fast…because it’s time to sink, or swim.
