A quirky, light-hearted crime caper! Perfect for fans of M C Beaton and Alexander McCall Smith.Cats stuck up trees. Missing mothers. Run over hedgehogs. If you've got a story to tell, and no one to gripe to, then call on Tytti Vertainen, Tapiolinna's first and finest female journalist.

Tytti chases facts. Her tactics may be unorthodox and not always precise, but she has shrewdness, daring and remarkable insight in her corner. And all these talents will be tested when she is asked to solve a murder... but the corpse has disappeared! More detective than journalist, she sets out to unravel the mystery and break the story. A story about a buried past that may threaten her very own future.

The Lazy Days of Temptation is 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.
