⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A new and better Miss Marple . . . you'll fall in love with the characters!" Vicki ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ " Cool little multi-layered mystery about a quaint seaside town. Intriguing." Mamatufy _______________________ Originally published as Fragile Lives . Meet Rina Martin , a retired actress with a taste for tea, gardening and crime solving. She played a TV sleuth for years, but now she has to do it for real . It's lonely out on the cliffs of Marlborough Head. Lonely and dangerous . When a body washes up on the rocks below, everyone assumes it must be brutish Edward Parker. Weeks ago, he slipped over the cliff's edge. Never to be seen again. But on closer inspection, it's not him . The dead man is Pat Duggan, son of a wealthy nightclub owner. And it's not the sea that killed him - it's a gunshot wound. In life, Pat had a habit of disappearing. He worked for his father, alongside missing Edward Parker. Coincidence? Rina and her unlikely new detective friend don't think so . . . Can she unravel the mystery before more innocent victims die? If you love Agatha Christie, Jeanne M. Dams, The Thursday Murder Club , Glenda Young, Stella Cameron, Frances Evesham or Ann Cleeves, prepare to be hooked by this enchanting character-driven mystery! What readers are saying about the Rina Martin mysteries: "Miss Marple fans will find a lot to like." Publishers Weekly "Rina's kickoff emphasizes people and place, letting the reader in on secrets early and relying on psychological conflict to drive the appealing plot ." Kirkus ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A new and better Miss Marple . . . she is intelligent, observant and a most welcome to the DI . . . you'll fall in love with the characters. This reads like a good movie . . . I heartily give this a big thumbs-up." Vicki ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Three cheers for Jane Adams!" Linda ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This is my first book by this author and I will eagerly await more!" Nancy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ " Murder She Wrote is an apt comparison - Rina Martin is sharp and no-nonsense . She knows a bit about law, a bit about murder - and a lot about human nature." Carmen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "If you like Agatha Christie and Patricia Wentworth, give these books a try." Pamela THE DETECTIVE Determined and compassionate, Rina Martin on a mission is an unstoppable force. When Rina retired from acting, she bought a B & B in Frantham on Sea. There, she has a quirky cast of full-time boarders, including wannabe magician Tim. She only wanted a quiet life. Instead, events propel Rina into full investigation mode, and she gets a taste for sleuthing. Can she help it if crimes just keep turning up on her doorstep? THE SETTING Tucked away in a charming little bay on the Jurassic coast, Frantham on Sea is a typical Victorian seaside town, with a picture-perfect promenade, B & Bs, and a grand hotel perched atop the headland. At the end of the promenade is the police station, where the officers' days have always been short and uneventful - until Rina comes to town, and things take a turn for the sinister.
