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!

"Murder On Board" released today

New fiction novel "Murder On Board" is released today 1st June 2019. 
I thought I'd share with you the feedback from one of the Beta Readers who I think summed the book  up nicely with the following words:

"I really enjoyed this book. Some of the references had me chuckling.  

I thought you had really strong characters and it was a pleasure getting to know them.

I also enjoyed the information you shared on all the places you visited.

The only negative thought I had was it seemed a little long. Almost too much information but after thinking about it. I don't see how you could leave anything out. 

All in all, I'd give you 5-stars for this creation."

Thank you, whoever you were, I couldn't have hoped for a better review!

Murder in Maspalomas - a 2017 new crime novel proves a hit on Kindle

The release of "Murder in Maspalomas" in June 2017 is proving Mark Rice to be a writer to look out for. Comparisons with Tana French are justified in that the story kicks off in Dublin Ireland and involved a Dublin drugs gang that our middle aged couple falls foul of. They flee the country and unfortunately for them, the gang follow them in hot pursuit. A deadly game of hide and seek then unfolds over a three day period. Several unexpected twists of plot occur before the story reaches a satisfying end.

Introducing Sheila Forsey and her novel "Mending Lace"

Happy September All. I thought it would be a great idea to start the month by introducing a neighbour of mine who has just published her first novel. She lives just down the road from me and on my regular 6.5 k run route.Let me introduce my good neighbour and talented writer Sheila Forsey. Sheila's debut novel, Mending Lace, was just released on Amazon yesterday. And it has already received its first 5 star review.

Mending Lace: A thrilling mystery of family secrets and second chances.

A story of love, loss and redemption, Mending Lace is a wonderfully woven story of people coming to terms with who they are, what they want, and all they have learned along the way. 

I'm sure you're thinking there must be something in the County Wexford water that causes such a clutch of writers to live in close proximity. Carmel Harrington is also located  nearby. Maybe it's the quiet sunny countryside that gets the imagination going or better still the the closeness of Morriscastle's white sandy beach where you can dip your toe in the warm Irish sea or could it be the interesting local characters that you meet in the counties towns and villages. 

Oh forget all that. I'll put you out of your misery - its really the long dark winter nights which run on for nearly six bloody months!! 

Sure what else have you to do but sit writing by the log fire? 

 Bye the bye Murder in Maspalomas is located in the Canary Islands where they enjoy 300 days of sun so escape now to a book that delivers crime with a splash of sunshine.
