Thirty-One Bones by Morgan Cry, 297 pages
After expat bar owner Effie Coulston dies mid-con, her estranged daughter Daniella travels to her late mother's Spanish seaside town for what she assumes will be a short trip to tend to the funeral and sort out Effie's affairs. But when both her mother's "legal consultant" friend and the local crime kingpin start badgering her about some missing money — more than 3 million euros that they're sure Effie squirreled away somewhere — Daniella finds herself desperately searching for the cash in the face of some fairly short and horrific deadlines.
Daniella is a smart cookie who doesn't take crap from anyone, which means she's the perfect person to take on Effie's various "friends." I loved the odd characters and quirky community they created for themselves, and I'd love to see more of Daniella's adventures in the future. This was a lot of fun.
