Almond: and the deep blue sea

Private detective Johnny Almond was a Detective Inspector in London, but he's had to take early retirement after a serious injury to his hand, and he's set up his own business.

When he gets a job investigating somebody on the Greek island of Corfu he thinks it's going to be a cushy number. But it's a lot more dangerous and important than he thought, as dark forces plot to threaten normal life. Nobody can be trusted.

I downloaded to my Kindle, the new novel by our own Agios Stefanos regular and Author "Jim Hawkins" it's called "Almond and the deep blue sea" ... I thoroughly enjoyed this Detective Thriller and as it's set here in Agios Stefanos it felt like an added bonus and very familiar. Couldn't put it down so I have to recommend it as a really good read... nice twist to the ending... Well worth a try - 5* (Tony Cox on Facebook)

Finished reading the book in San Stefanos last week Jim. Something a little different to what I would normally read and I loved it. Made even better by being able to visualise so many of the locations. Waiting for the next one now. (Diane13 on Sanstefanos.co.uk/smf)
