Murder Under The Mediterranean Sun takes place on a secluded sleepy Greek island,. A group of childhood friends travel for a destination wedding, where a killing spree took place fifteen years earlier. Sheriff Alaire's wife was murdered, so he sent his daughter Oceane to live in Athens. What nobody knows is that Alaire had spent the past decade and a half investigating old crimes, stumbling upon connections that are very interesting and disturbing. Seemingly nobody knows anyone, not really. After fifteen years, Océane is finally returning to the island for her best friend Eden’s wedding, who is marrying into the Bellamy legacy and fortune, but now the killing starts again, and everyone is a suspect. The guests manage to unlock the secrets of Carlotta’s Villa and of Belen Astro. One by one they all become a suspect. While one by one they all die. Made to look as if they have all died. Leaving only three. Two to escape and start over as if nothing ever happened. One, used as a scapegoat. No bride ever plans for her death, at least not on her wedding day. But some secrets are thicker than blood.

This is the first of two volumes of edited sermons spanning the greater part of the second half of the twentieth century, and the first major collection of sermons from a Liberal Jewish point ofview produced in Britain since Claude G. Montefiore's Truth in Religion of 1906. It combines forthrightly radical thinking with spirituality, love of Jewish tradition, and an abundance of carefully documented quotations from classical Jewish sources. This combination yields many fresh insights into the interpretation of Scripture, as examined in Part I, and the significance ofthe Jewish festivals dealt with in Part II, and brings out the relevance of both to present-day intellectual and social issues. Both Parts will be found to contain many original ideas, novel formulations, and occasional touches of humour.
