Murder In Maspalomas 2 - the wait is coming to an end!

Murder in Maspalomas is a crime fiction story about an Irish couple that get involved with a drugs gang who are chasing them for the debt, owed by one of their friends. They flee Dublin and end up in Maspalomas in the Canary Islands.

I'm sure you had the same thing happen to you in the past. Well, I wrote this book back in 2017 and I've been put under serious pressure by some of my readers to write a follow-up book and see what happened to the characters after this first book ended. There were a few loose ends that needed tieing up if you follow my drift.

So I am pleased to say that very soon I will start writing the follow-up.

If you fancy a page-turning, amusing, exciting summer read then look no further this book will deliver. There is never a dull page, never pages lost on descriptive prose, never wasteful dialogue or pointless action. This book tells the story at pace and delivers characters you'll love and hate in equal measure.

Look inside if you don't believe me!

Are you sure this isn't a Tana French book?

This was the question asked of me recently and I said "No" and then to compound my ignorance I added "Who is Tana French? 

After that conversation with a well read friend of mine I walked away and looked her details up on Amazon.

Tana French grew up in Ireland, Italy, the US and Malawi, and has lived in Dublin since 1990. She trained as an actress at Trinity College Dublin and worked in theatre, film and voiceover. She is the author of IN THE WOODS (winner of the Edgar, Anthony, Barry, Macavity and IVCA Clarion awards), THE LIKENESS, FAITHFUL PLACE, BROKEN HARBOUR (winner of the LA Times Book Prize for Best Mystery/Thriller and the Irish Book Award for Best Crime Fiction) and THE SECRET PLACE. She lives in Dublin with her husband and two children.

So amazingly her work on unsolved mysteries and the activities of the Dublin Murder Squad as they tackled urban crime is world renowned. 

I was using a keyword search provided by WordStream and I entered my http://murderinmaspalomas.blogspot.ie/ website and up came a list of 150 keywords with her name Tana French as the second most appropriate keyword for my site. What I find astonishing is the lack of any mention of "Maspalomas" as a keyword for my site. 

Well news to me....... but maybe she and I aren't that different if you discount the "In the Woods Dublin Murder Squad: 1" being a winner of the Edgar, Anthony, Barry, Macavity and the IVCA Clarion awards and the huge global sales that followed.
