Diana Rivers #1-3

by Faith Mortimer

**THE DIANA RIVERS SERIES (Books 1-3)
Welcome to the 1st Diana Rivers, Mystery Suspense Murder Boxed Set featuring the first three books in the series, ‘The Assassins’ Village’, ‘Children of the Plantation’ & ‘The Surgeon’s Blade’. All three books have been awarded Amazon bestseller status. Diana Rivers our heroine is a writer, sometime actor and amateur sleuth and loves nothing more than getting embroiled in the middle of a mystery – especially MURDER!

THE ASSASSINS' VILLAGE
When an expatriate theatrical group gather to discuss their next play there will be murder. A blackmailer stalks their picturesque Cypriot village. Unbeknown to each other they all attempt to find solutions to their problems. Some believe it lies in murder. Can they find the blackmailer? And can they find that all important ‘little black book’ – the chronicle of their misdeeds.
A body is discovered and Diana turns detective. After the police get involved one of her suspects is found hanged – is this another murder or suicide? A visit to a villager’s home uncovers an ancient assassin’s device. Could this be the murder weapon? Is it possible that an assassin lives at the heart of this formerly peaceful and idyllic mountain village? The villagers are riven with jealousies, rivalry, sexual tension and illicit affairs. Love, hate, murder and high drama all feature in this classic detective story. With a list of suspects, some dramatic twists and the odd red herring, the reader is left guessing until the final curtain.

CHILDREN OF THE PLANTATION
After discovering the truth surrounding the bloody murders in, ‘The Assassins' Village’ our sexy, feisty sleuth and heroine, Diana Rivers & her partner Steve, decide they deserve a holiday. Relaxing at their luxurious, palm fringed plantation hotel in lush, tropical Malaysia; things don't quite work out as they imagined. Diana is approached by the hotel owner, the enigmatic & secretive Miss Chalcot to take a look through some old family documents and help find a solution to put right a dreadful forty-year old misdoing. Diana is given free rein to pursue the mysterious past of the family & discover what lies behind the dark stories. Diana enters into a world of the 1950's and 1960's, where lies, deceit, illicit love, jealousies & perhaps murder all feature. What really happened all those years ago? Who was responsible for events that shocked the whole family & plunged it into despair? And what is the real story behind the façade?

THE SURGEON'S BLADE
Nursing sister, Libby Hunter wakes up in hospital with amnesia after a traumatic sailing accident. She finds a stranger sitting by her bedside who claims to be her fiancé. Libby remembers nothing about him. Returning home, Libby finds herself in great danger when her house is broken into. Who is the intruder and what does he want? Is this connected with a series of attacks on nurses in London & Southampton? Will Libby be the latest targeted victim? Distressed Libby turns to helicopter pilot, Robert for help and understanding, but is he as respectable & kind as he appears to be? Is her so-called fiancé, Nigel trustworthy? The night time intrusion into Libby's house sets in motion a downwards spiral of cataclysmic & terrifying events, culminating in Diana Rivers stepping in to help solve the case in this chilling mystery.

Reviews

[MARIE ARCAND · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very well-written mysteries

I loved all 3 of these novels. The second story was my favorite because of references to the lesbian community.

[Tom · Rating 5 out of 5]

An absolutely wonderful trilogy that must be read in order to enjoy. The first is a little trying due to the number of characters and a seemingly unrelated opening but take heart, it will all come clear if you persevere. The second moves along faster because now you know who Diana Rivers is and what she does. It also presents a book within a book so stay sharp! And Diana all but disappears in the third novel but her hand stays in the game. Like a buffet table, Ms Mortimer serves up something for every taste. Now I must be off to the next Diana Rivers box set appropriately called Vol. 2. Read these and enjoy.
