An atmospheric Málaga private investigator mystery in which an apparent double suicide refuses to add up. Mediterranean crime fiction about closed communities, official indifference and a detective who challenges the official story.
An atmospheric Málaga mystery of forbidden relationships, buried truths, and a detective willing to challenge the official story.
Two young lovers are found dead near a Málaga beach, but JD doesn't believe they took their own lives.
On Midsummer's Eve, the bodies of two young gypsies are found in a solitary spot near a beach in Málaga. It looks like a double suicide--a lovers' pact to end it all--and the police are quick to close the case.
But Jacaranda Dunne, a female private investigator known to everyone as JD, thinks otherwise.
When a cousin of the dead girl asks JD to investigate, he tells her the young man was gay and the girl was pregnant--both reasons to despair when you are a gypsy, but not to commit suicide.
The investigation proves more difficult than usual. JD and her team face resistance from the gypsy community and little cooperation from a recalcitrant Guardia Civil commander.
At first there seems to be no motive for killing the two young people, but gradually some unpleasant truths begin to emerge.
Strawberry Moon is Book 3 in The Jacaranda Dunne Mysteries series. Perfect for readers who love atmospheric crime fiction, female private investigators, rule-breaking detectives, and mysteries by Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, and Robert Galbraith.
