Three European set crime novels
that deliver high octane thrills and memorable characters.
Most people travel to Corfu to escape the real world for a couple of weeks and embrace the fantasy of olive trees, sandy beaches, and little fishing boats bobbing on sparkling blue water under a warm sun. But in Charlie Higson’s Whatever Gets You Through the Night the fantasy is spoiled somewhat by Albanian gangsters, Greek drug dealers, psychotic bodyguards, flat earthers and spoilt, wealthy teenagers looking for dangerous kicks.
Morgan Cry’s Six Wounds makes the perfect Spanish whodunnit cocktail, take one dead gangster, mix in six shifty expats, add one ruthless baddie and garnish with a suspicious police officer . . .
Daniella Coulstoun has recently moved to the Costa
Blanca but when the dead body of a prominent London gangster is discovered in
the cellar of her bar, she quickly becomes the number one suspect.
Simone Buchholz’s River Clyde brings things a little closer to
home (via Hamburg). Mired in grief after tragic recent events, state prosecutor
Chastity Riley escapes to Scotland, lured to the birthplace of her
great-great-grandfather by a mysterious letter suggesting she has inherited a
house.
In Hamburg, the police investigate a major arson attack, while a group of
property investors kicks off an explosion of violence that threatens everyone. As
events in these two cities collide, Chastity prepares to face the inevitable,
battling the ghosts of her past and the lost souls that could be her future
and, perhaps, finally finding redemption for them all.
