Madeira Storm

STORMY TIMES FOR THE COMISSÁRIO A storm is brewing over the Atlantic island and the body of a tourist washes up in Funchal harbour. Did the young man really just underestimate the raging sea? Comissário Avila doesn't have a good feeling about the matter, but he doesn't have time to be too bothered as a romantic weekend with his wife in Madeira's picturesque mountains is on the agenda. But it is not only the approaching storm that disturbs the idyll: the body of a young woman suddenly floats in the hotel pool. Cut off from the outside world, Comissário Avila tries to find the murderer, a race against time, because in the midst of the raging storm the murderer is already hunting his next victim and this time it concerns Avila personally ... Comissário Avila is back in his second case on the island of eternal spring. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Janice Hallett.
