"Agatha Award-winning author G. M. Malliet has charmed mystery lovers, cozy fans, and Agatha Christie devotees with her critically acclaimed mysteries featuring handsome spy-turned-cleric Max Tudor. In The Haunted Season, Max's former life as an MI5 agent caught up with him, threatening his newfound happiness with Awena and baby son Owen. Realizing there is no escape from his past, Max, with his bishop's tacit permission, has offered his services to MI5 on an as-needed basis. And in Devil's Breath, it's time for Max to follow through. The body of glamorous film star Margot Browne has washed ashore from a luxury yacht and Max's former colleague Patrice Logan wants his help to find the murderer. It's a perfect "closed circle" murder since victim Margot must have been killed by one of the actors, stylists, screenwriters, or second-tier royalty aboard. Patrice suspects the yacht's owner, a playboy film director she's been keeping tabs on for smuggling, but Max isn't so sure. Max and DCI Cotton interview the suspects as they loll about one of the luxury hotels dotting the waterfront. The investigation into Margot's lurid past uncovers a host of motives--it seems she was not the only person on board with a secret they'd kill to keep"--… (altro)

DEVIL'S BREATH is the first book I have read by G.M. Malliet. And, thus is this the first book I have read in the Max Tudor series. However, despite being the sixth book was it was no problem for me to get the gist of the story and its characters. I must say that G.M. Malliet did a splendid job of getting new readers to get to know Max Tudor in this book, both his past with MI5 and his new life as a cleric.

DEVIL’S BREATH: A MAX TUDOR MYSTERY is written by G. M. Malliet. The title is Book #6 in the Max Tudor Mystery series.
Handsome, charismatic and thoughtful, former MI5 agent and presently an Anglican priest of St. Etwold’s Parish in Nether-Monkslip, is Max Tudor. After his work in solving several murder mysteries with DCI Cotton, Max comes out of espionage retirement and offers his services to MI5 on an as-needed basis.
Max is called in to assist DCI Cotton and MI5 undercover agent, Patrice Logan, in solving a very high-profile case.
The body of film star, Margot Browne, has washed ashore from a luxurious yacht anchored off-shore of Monkslip-super-Mare. Among the passengers of directors, stylists, actors, pseudo-royalty and crew, a murderer lurks.
The map of the village of Nether-Monkslip, the cast of characters (there are many and it helps to refer to this ‘cast’), the intricate plot, the interesting characters and locations - all make for a vey good read. **** ( )

G M Malliet writes a lovely story with quotes and plots from Shakespeare running throughout the tale. I just wish that the grammar matched these lofty aspirations. My main gripe is the use of raise for people, one rears children and raises animals. Malliet presents the cast of characters with great ceremony and detail, the story falls into a staged play many times. I love Max's method of questioning the possible suspects. To throw the readers and Max off balance, Patrice, Max's ex-lover, enters the stage. Margot Browne, an old, fading actress falls off a yacht, but she has been murdered before the push overboard. Patrice, now nearing the end of her pregnancy, has been undercover searching suspected drug trafficking on the yacht. The story twists and turns before the final curtain call. ( )

Sixth in series, this is another fine offering of author G.M. Malliet in her Father Max Tudor Mystery series. However, this one does stray from the charming village of Nether Monkslip and Father Max's dear family.

On the beach of nearby Monkslip-super-Mare, a body washes ashore. Turns out, the deceased is a former Hollywood starlet who ended up overboard from her producers magnificent yacht, anchored just off the shoreline. There's a cast of many characters, all of whom have motive enough to do in the Diva. Can Father Max and his team figure it all out before the yacht sails with the outgoing tide? ( )

The yacht, which could be seen from the tidy beaches and coves of Monkslip-super-Mare, had all the villagers talking.
