You go looking for it."</strong><br /> <br /> On a sabbatical from the Metropolitan Police, Beatrice Stubbs is considering her future while touring Northern Spain.<br /> <br /> In the Basque County, she encounters a distant acquaintance. Beautiful, bloody-minded journalist Ana Herrero is onto a story.<br /> <br /> Beatrice, scenting adventure, offers her expertise. The two women are sucked into a mystery of missing persons, violent threats, mutilated bodies and industrial-scale fraud. They are out of their depth. With no official authority and unsure who to trust, they find themselves up to their necks in corruption, blackmail and Rioja.<br /> <br /> Beatrice calls for the cavalry. The boys are back, and this time, it's a matter of taste. But when her instincts prove fallible, Beatrice discovers that justice is a matter of interpretation.</p><p>Each book works as a stand-alone novel.</p><p>If you enjoy Martin Walker, DL Sayers and Louise Penny, you'll love Tread Softly.</p><p> </p><p><em>"The novel oozes atmosphere and JJ Marsh captures the sights, sounds and richness of Spain in all its glory. I literally salivated as I read the descriptions of food and wine. JJ Marsh is an extremely talented author and this is a wonderful novel." </em>- Sheila Bugler, author of Hunting Shadows<br /> <br /> <em>"There are moments of farce and irony, there are scenes of friendship, tenderness and total exasperation - and underlying it all a story of corruption, brutality, manipulation and oppression with all the elements you'd expect to find in a good thriller, including a truly chilling villain."</em> - Lorna Fergusson, FictionFire</p><p>"<em>Read this and you'll be desperate for a seat on a Vitoria balcony with a glass of white Rioja, a plate of pinxtos and the next Beatrice Stubbs to accompany them</em>." - Annemarie Neary, author of <em>Siren</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Beatrice sort of saves the day. Our heroine is back; although supposedly resting in the burning heat of a Spanish summer ... she can't help herself, from helping a young female journalist. The story starts slowly but once the bodies appear, the story steps up one - then two paces and flies along. With some excellent characters and doubtful wine in the mix. Beatrice ultimately and surprisingly shows her inner steel and delivers justice... " Amazon Reviewer "Fabulous addition to the series. There's a lot more action in this one which was a very nice contrast to the slightly slower-pace of the previous book. What a fabulous series, honestly, I could keep reading about Beatrice Stubbs forever." - Jessica Bell, Vine Leaves Press "The story is skilfully paced, with lovely, atmospheric descriptions of the Spanish town of Vitoria, as well as the food and wine Beatrice manages to consume in spite of the intensity of her investigations. After reading Tread Softly, I downloaded the other two detective novels by JJ Marsh, featuring Beatrice Stubbs. I can't wait to devour them in the same quick manner as I did Tread Softly." - Heena Halme, author of The Englishman<br>
