The Lazy Days of Temptation The Finland Series

Tytti Vertainen has run out of patience. Staff Writer at the Tapiolinna Times, she has spent enough of her life churning out standard news content to fill a word count. Yesterday her boss, too hungover to care, had let her chase up a promising lead; a police report on some break cables being cut. At the scene of the crime, squatting and peering under the front wheel of the car, she had looked on aghast as she saw the culprit return. A squirrel no less. But fortune takes a turn when she receives a tip-off letter telling her a murder has been committed on the island. Her first question is whose? No body has been found. Undaunted by a lack of clues she jumps to accept the anonymous challenge. If she can keep her enquiries secret and avoid her meddling boss, she might just be able to solve the crime and break the story. The Lazy Days of Temptation is a novel set among the shallow seas and lofty pines of Finland. Detective work soon supplants the frequent cups of coffee as Tytti, jolted from her everyday routine, sets out to find a murderer.
