RJ Corgan really brings the heat in this fast-paced mystery.
Kea Wright is back and things are really heating up in Murder on Masaya. In her fascinating line of work, Kea has braved dangers in the African wilds and on the face of a frigid glacier. Now, a lucrative job offer brings her to the belly of an ancient volcano, although the toughest assignment proves to be managing the people in her life while hiding a secret of her own. An expedition gone awry results in the tragic death of a high profile social influencer. Kea literally jumps into the volcano to save the rest of the team, only to find out that the death was no accident and the killer may still be close at hand.
With a setting as harsh and uncompromising as a churning volcano, RJ Corgan really brings the heat in this fast-paced mystery. Witty and cynical as ever, Kea is the perfect reluctant hero, always quick with a snide observation or passive-aggressive comment. But the story doesn’t stop with Kea. The cast is rounded out with a dependable but selfish mercenary of a friend, a scheming ex-lover, and a whole host of suspicious crew members and multinationals with questionable motives. The writing style is so immersive that you’ll find yourself wondering if Wi-Fi in the heart of a lava-spitting mountain really is possible. All of this is wrapped in an otherworldly geologic landscape and finished with an ending you’ll never see coming. If you’re an adventurous soul who would love to imagine rappelling and zip-lining in an active volcano, then grab a cool beverage and jump headfirst into the feverishly fun Murder on Masaya.
