Three Deadly Days in Spain e-bog

Having left behind careers in theatre and decorating in London and New York, Sydney Reardon moved to a calmer life in Santa Fe with John, her third husband and the love of her life. She began "e;doing houses."e; "e;If you would like to re-create a colonial gem from Oaxaca or a farmhouse from Tuscany, I'm your girl,"e; she explained to a new acquaintance. But she is devastated when John is killed in a bizarre accident. Still recovering from her loss she is invited by John's best friend for a visit in Salamanca. She has always loved Spain and accepts, looking forward to the holiday. Her host asks her to stop in Avila, the famous old walled town, to deliver a holy relic to a monastery and seeing it as an exotic but worthwhile errand, she readily agrees. Within hours of her arrival there, Ben Harris, a personable young man with whom she shared wine, dinner and conversation on the airplane, has fallen-or been pushed-from one of the walls. What she had thought would be a delightful week as a tourist turns into a nightmare as she is pursued by jewel thieves, kidnappers-and murderers. * * * * * Mary Branham was assistant director of the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She describes her first two mysteries also from Sunstone Press, "e;Little Green Man in Ireland"e; and "e;Big Black Dog In Vallarta,"e; as "e;airplane books."e; Having bought many thick books at airport shops and left them on the plane unfinished, she determined to write a series of books that could be enjoyed on a flight of reasonable length. The first two have also appeared as an offering from The Detective Book Club. Regarding "e;Big Black Dog In Vallarta,"e; "e;Library Journal"e; wrote: "e;Memorable characters, slick dialog, and almost whimsical settings make this a delightful short read for larger collections."e;
