Synopsis

Minnie Harper isn't used to putting herself first. Not after she moved away from England only to be left raising two children alone on the Greek Island of Corfu following her husband's unexpected death. But with her daughter begging to be sent to school abroad and her son grasping at his own independence, Minnie realizes she must prepare for the next stage of her life.

When famous mystery author Stephen Dorian settles into a neighboring villa to escape writer's block and hidden scandals, she is intrigued at first by the handsome Londoner—until he proves to be nothing more than a boorish grump. Determined to avoid the man as much as possible, Minnie is shocked when he offers her a well-paid job as his typist.

But before Minnie can fully regret her decision to take the job, she makes a horrifying discovery that changes everything. A young maid has been murdered, and local authorities aren't moving fast enough to bring justice to the terrible crime. Unwilling to allow the death to fade into obscurity like so many other women, Minnie launches an investigation of her own—and reluctantly accepts Stephen's help. As she embarks on a dangerous search for answers that reveals another side of Corfu, unsettling questions take shape about her employer-turned-confidant and the culprit who just might do whatever it takes to strike again . . .

Goodreads review by Lee on April 08, 2025

Let me start off by saying that I LOVE Ms. Sullivan's historical romance novels. She writes amazingly detailed, swoon-worthy romances that I devour. That being said, I've only ever read a handful of cozy mysteries, and this is a historical one to boot. I'm not 100% sure of all of the traditional hal......more

Wow, this book was a delightful surprise for me. This book is the first in a new historical cozy mystery series, I was not familiar with the author, I believe she has written some historical romance before, but this is a new endeavor. I strongly recommend Ms. Sullivan keep going. I was totally capti......more

A Death on Corfu by Emily Sullivan is the first book in a new historical cozy mystery series. Looking forward to where this goes. I like cozy mysteries and I like historical fiction…so it is nice to enjoy a book that blends the two together. There was a nice blend of a relaxing, getaway vibe, and the......more
