set in Malta, this was an enjoyable romantic crime story. It included all the usual Maltese tropes: the church; corruption; politics; the police; and of course, the island itself. The plot was a bit far fetched at times but it was intriguing enough to keep your interest throughout. All told, an enjoyable read, especially if you love Malta.

The Maltese Orphans is a real page Turner. It is not for the squeamish. The story has many a twist and turn and is set in Malta which I have visited many times over the last 20 years. I don't want to give anything away but it is particularly relevant today.
