Byron Knight is a former police detective who has left chilly London and moved to the sun-drenched Greek island of Apilonia to rebuild his life. His idyllic new existence, and his fledgling property business, is suddenly threatened when the island’s wealthiest man is shot dead. Knight is very reluctantly drawn into the investigation and has to search for the culprit, and the reason for the murder, and also search his conscience over his attraction to two fascinating women.To solve the case, and save his much-loved slice of paradise, he has to battle against opposition from both criminals and entrenched local interests before uncovering a dark secret.Told with light-hearted good humour, Knight evokes the easy living charm and warm beauty of the Greek islands, and relates encounters with some eccentric, and sometimes threatening characters, on his journey to a solution of the crime, and of his tangled love life.
Like many people I became enchanted with the Greek islands and imagined what it would be like to not only holiday there but to live and work there. The idea for Flowers In The Sun came to me almost fully formed during a long return journey and the more I developed the idea the more I fell in love with the characters and the setting of the story. Writing the book was fun and I hope it is fun to read as well as being an absorbing and entertaining mystery.
The cover sold it to me and I wasn't wrong. A perfect beach book, fun, undemanding and most enjoyable if you switch off critical faculties. That's a compliment, not a criticism, and I'm sure that was the author's intention. Nailed it!
A relaxing and enjoyable read but a bit obvious in places and not really 'meaty' enough for me. I did like the humour, though, and I have to admit that the story left a satisfying afterglow.
