Corfu, 1975 - sun, sea, and a string of suspicious suicides. Doctor Aphrodite is about to open a Pandora's box - the island paradise hides a deadly secret. When Greek doctor, Aphrodite Louvros, is called to certify a suicide in Corfu Town, she expects a quick, routine duty. But something about the scene doesn't add up. The more she tries to help the local police, the more she realises this is no isolated tragedy. A disturbing pattern of deaths is emerging... and someone will do anything to keep it hidden.
From sunlit harbour cafés to the shadowy backstreets of the old town, Aphrodite's search for the truth uncovers a Pandora's box of secrets, lies, and danger. Smoking is rife, attitudes are old-fashioned, and the pace of life hides the fact that several killers are among them. Set against the stunning backdrop of the wonderful island of Corfu, and written to celebrate the Corfu Literary Festival, this mystery blends gripping suspense with a vivid sense of place - taking you on a tour of the island's most beautiful spots as the shocking truth behind the suicides is revealed. Perfect for fans of historical mysteries, sun-soaked whodunits, and strong-willed amateur sleuths, The Corfu Crime Caper is a witty, fast-paced mystery that proves murder never goes out of style. Step into 1974 Corfu and discover a mystery you won't want to put down.
A body.A string of 'suicides' nobody questions. One woman who refuses to let it go. Would you risk your life to uncover the truth?
The Corfu Crime Caper, by Michael Fitzalan. is set in Corfu Town. Aphrodite attends a suicide in order to sign the death certificate but becomes suspicious. Trying to help the investigating team, she opens up a Pandora's box. Set on the wonderful island of Corfu and to celebrate the Corfu Literary Festival, this book takes you around some of the most beautiful parts of the island and Corfu town as the mystery of so many suicides is solved. Set in the 1974, smoking is endemic and old-fashioned ideas proliferate but with this you do get a pacy narrative and some sharp dialogue, so forgive the foibles of late twentieth century life and enjoy the entertaining mystery as it unfolds. We have moved a long way since nineteen-seventy-four but this story still resonates even in 2025.
