⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A new and better Miss Marple . . . you’ll fall in love with the characters!” Vicki ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Cool little multi-layered mystery about a quaint seaside town. Intriguing.” Mamatufy _______________________ Originally published as A Reason to Kill. Meet Rina Martin, a retired actress with a taste for tea, gardening and crime solving. She played a TV sleuth for years, but now she has to do it for real. She retires to the sleepy town of Frantham-on-Sea. Here on the Dorset coast, she runs her own immaculate guest house and life is blissfully quiet. Until . . . A few doors down, harmless old Mrs Freer is bludgeoned to death, and Rina can’t help but be drawn into the mystery. Mrs Freer’s home was ransacked, but this was no ordinary burglary. Who knew the old lady kept a gun stashed under her pillow? And who wanted it badly enough to kill? Detective Sebastian McGregor is called in to solve this baffling case. But with her neighbours’ safety at stake, Rina knows she needs to give him a helping hand. If you love Agatha Christie, Jeanne M. Dams, The Thursday Murder Club, Glenda Young, Stella Cameron, Frances Evesham or Ann Cleeves, prepare to be hooked by this enchanting character-driven mystery! What readers are saying about Murder on Sea: “Miss Marple fans will find a lot to like.” Publishers Weekly “Rina’s kickoff emphasizes people and place, letting the reader in on secrets early and relying on psychological conflict to drive the appealing plot.” Kirkus ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A new and better Miss Marple . . . she is intelligent, observant and a most welcome to the DI . . . you’ll fall in love with the characters. This reads like a good movie . . . I heartily give this a big thumbs-up.” Vicki ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Three cheers for Jane Adams!” Linda ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This is my first book by this author and I will eagerly await more!” Nancy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Murder She Wrote is an apt comparison — Rina Martin is sharp and no-nonsense. She knows a bit about law, a bit about murder — and a lot about human nature.” Carmen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “If you like Agatha Christie and Patricia Wentworth, give these books a try.” Pamela ALSO BY JANE ADAMS RINA MARTIN MYSTERY SERIES Book 1: MURDER ON SEA Book 2: MURDER ON THE CLIFF Book 3: MURDER ON THE BOAT Book 4: MURDER ON THE BEACH Book 5: MURDER AT THE COUNTRY HOUSE Book 6: MURDER AT THE PUB Book 7: MURDER AT THE FARM Book 8: MURDER AT THE WILLOWS MERROW & CLARKE Book 1: SAFE Book 2: KIDNAP DETECTIVE MIKE CROFT SERIES Book 1: THE GREENWAY Book 2: THE SECRETS Book 3: THEIR FINAL MOMENTS Book 4: THE LIAR DETECTIVE RAY FLOWERS SERIES Book 1: THE APOTHECARY’S DAUGHTER Book 2: THE UNWILLING SON Book 3: THE DROWNING MEN Book 4: THE SISTER’S TWIN DETECTIVE ROZLYN PRIEST Book 1: BURY ME DEEP STANDALONES THE OTHER WOMAN THE WOMAN IN THE PAINTING THEN SHE WAS DEAD Read more
