About this listen

Santorini. Turquoise seas, ancient ruins, and beautiful sunsets.

And a woman thrown from a cliff.

The violent death shocks fellow passengers of the Empress Louise, a grand cruise liner packed with British tourists.

For newly promoted Inspector Nikos Stephanakis, the case poses linguistic and cultural problems. His request for assistance yields unexpected results.

DI Beatrice Stubbs, called in as support, flies to Greece. What with tension at home, the timing couldn't be better. She anticipates a few days in the sun and a swift resolution.

Yet an earlier death at sea proves suspicious and when another elderly lady is killed in her cabin, terror spreads like contagion. Murder is aboard.

And someone has Beatrice in his sights.

From the Cyclades to the Dodecanese, Nikos and Beatrice pursue the killer and unearth a secret. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Each book of the Beatrice Stubbs Series works stand-alone.

If you enjoy Faith Martin, Roy Lewis, and Betty Rowlands, you'll love Cold Pressed.

Critic reviews

"This is JJ Marsh's fourth snappily written crime mystery featuring the feisty but vulnerable Stubbs, a most appealing character. It's all highly diverting, and an ideal read for those who like their crime with a lighter, less gruesome touch." (Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller)

"With characters you love to hate, and just plain adore, Cold Pressed is a perfect balance of suspense, crime, and literary genius." (Jessica Bell, Vine Leaves Literary Journal)

Very original storyline brought to life by wonderful narration. Thoroughly enjoyed this, my fourth Beatrice Stubbs investigation. Her interest in good food and wine, her love interest and her introspection enhances the narrative. Jill Prewett’s brilliant interpretation of the characters makes it so easy to follow.

Intriguing Storyline

Good yarn with overtones and referrals to Europe again all making an excellent case for Beatrice Stubbs with an ‘great detective’ scenario as is her modus operandi! I like the fact she is flawed and yet still manages to get the job done much like us all!

Good to excellent
