Description
It is the end of the season at Cala Felix on the Spanish coast, but the peace is about to be shattered…
Everything seems to be very much as normal in the sleepy little resort, where the remaining visitors are making the most of the late summer sun.
Until, that is, Colin Dennison, arriving on foot via the bay, discovers a ghastly ‘accident’.
The body of his aunt lies lifeless on the beach and Colin’s efforts to resuscitate her fail.
A little later, the bodies of his uncle and of James Rowley, another holiday-maker from England, are recovered by divers.
But was it an accident – or a deliberate drowning?
If all three seemingly inoffensive people have been murdered, what motive could the killer have had?
Inspector Borges the charming and perspicacious Spanish detective, is called in to investigate the mystery and the unenviable task of sorting out all the conflicting evidence falls to him.
With his faithful dog Shadow in tow, the Inspector ingratiates himself with the resort’s residents and begins analysing their alibis.
But with only a few days to go until many of those staying at the resort go their separate ways, the Inspector will have to work fast to get to the truth.
As much as he would love to savour the sunshine, time is not on his side.
And in the sleepy grounds of Cala Felix, a cornered killer may be tempted to strike again…
No Time to Kill is an engrossing murder mystery filled with intrigue and deception.
