Fiction
The seagull's nest
by Mary Margariti
Description
In the summer of 2017, the murder of a young woman on the municipal beach of Lesvos stirs the island's peaceful summer atmosphere. Not long afterwards, a second murder creates a ripple effect and an unbearable headache to officer Bergakis, who is in charge of the investigation. The case transcends the island's borders. A backup team arrives from the capital and holds a surprise for the officer, reminding him after a long time that, apart from duty, there is also love. With everyday island life as a background, perfectly described by the author who was born and raised there, the two murders are an ideal excuse to tell a mystery story which unravels along with the emotional growth of the main characters in this fascinating tale.

Reviews
Solid characters, constant plot-twists and new faces are constantly added to the story, sparking the reader's attention. Effortless dialogue, a well-knit plot, suspense, humour and an underlying erotic atmosphere are the main elements of this detective story. A perfect summer read and much more than that. The contrast between an idyllic summer setting and murder, the logic of analysis and reversal, objectivity and establishment, professional behaviour and love fill with colour and light a mysterious journey set on one of the most stunning islands of the Aegean Sea
