2 posts | 2 read
From the acclaimed author of The Drago Tree comes a riveting thriller about survival, revenge and long-hidden secrets. When Lanzarote anti-corruption activist Celestino is T-boned on a lonely road, he knows the collision was no accident. Wounded and fearing for his life, he hides in an abandoned fishing village, waiting for a chance to make it home. Meanwhile, his wife Paula is distraught and sets out to look for him. Paula's search for her husband quickly descends into mayhem, danger and intrigue. Before long, she realizes she's being followed. She needs answers, and fast. But where is Celestino, and will he ever make it back alive? "A Matter of Latitude simmers with danger, betrayal and treachery, drawing the reader into the island's history of shady dealings and uneasy relationships between natives, tourists and expats... Isobel Blackthorn has crafted an atmospheric and setting-rich novel with alluring lyrical style." - Sandi Wallace, award-winning crime fiction author

Set on Lanzarote the book is loosely about corruption on the Island. However I found it more about having a go at tourism and the influx of foreigners who holiday or live there. As someone has documents that can prove corruption trying to retrieve these results in murders. With one of the most unbelievable and ridiculous storylines it was with jubilation that I reached the end of the book. The picture is looking out towards Lanzarote.

A delivery of A Matter of Latitude and Clarissa's Warning by Isobel Blackthorn is due tomorrow. The first book is set on Lanzarote, bottom right Island in the picture while the 2nd book is set in Fuerteventura the Island to the left of Lanzarote. I plan to read both books while in Fuerteventura during August and September.
