An island paradise. A grisly murder. Can a detective put his rugby days behind him to tackle a killer case?

Josefa “Joe” Horseman holds out hope for a comeback. But after riding high in top class rugby, returning to the Fiji detective force with a wrecked knee wasn’t what he had in mind. So he knows he'll have to up his game when guests at an island resort discover a young maid’s corpse snagged on the reef. What he doesn't know is whether his ambitious new partner will prove to be a help or a hindrance.

Horseman is under pressure to solve the case before the high-end vacation spot takes a major hit to its reputation… and its bottom line. But just as he uncovers a lead on a sabotage suspect, another body rises to the surface.

Can Horseman bring down the killer before the waters run red with more blood?

Death on Paradise Island is the first book in the exotic Fiji Islands Mysteries series. If you like savvy detectives, exotic locations, and brain-stumping cases, then you’ll love B.M. Allsopp’s tropical whodunit.

Reviews

A refreshing take on the crime novel.

Irina Dunn, Australian Writers Network

This is a superb debut novel, which I enjoyed hugely. I look forward very much to seeing more in the Fiji Islands Mystery Series.

Sisters in Crime Australia

The author evidently knows Fiji and its people intimately, and has drawn on that special knowledge in such a way as to lend a sense of authenticity as well as plausibility to the story. I warmly recommend this book.
