Death at the Monastery
(2025)(The first book in the European Cozy Mysteries series)
A Story by Liz Turner
Sunshine, sightseeing… and a sudden suspicious death.
Madeline Shaw isn’t the adventurous type.
As a London newspaper columnist, her biggest weekly thrill is a Saturday jog rewarded with a donut. But when a friend backs out of a Portugal tour and Madeline gets pushed into taking her place, her quiet life turns upside down.
In Coimbra’s winding medieval streets, surrounded by ancient libraries and dramatic river views, Madeline thinks she’s finally embracing spontaneity.
Then, a centuries-old monastery becomes the scene of a very modern death.
Suddenly she’s tangled in secrets, suspicious tour members, and enough odd behavior to make her question everyone’s motives.
Her reluctant partner? A brooding ex-detective with a past he’d rather leave buried.
Brimming with charm, humor, and a heroine who discovers courage she never knew she had, this cozy mystery proves that sometimes the best journeys begin far from home—and lead straight into a mystery worth solving.
