The Manipulators

Book 3

A Ronda George Thriller

Talented kickboxer and Masterchef turns detective.

With lives at stake – time is running out…

Ronda agrees to be the 'eyes and ears' for Inspector Joachin García Abascal from Europol, whilst catering for an international convention of 'Religious, Spiritual Minds and Bodies'.

At a remote monastery in Wales, the conference is thrown into disarray when tragedy strikes and a body is washed up on the beach.

But Ronda believes this is all a cover-up for a more serious crime - a sophisticated wine fraud.

As the truth is revealed Ronda must act quickly. She must use all her military training to succeed. But is she strong enough to stop an illegal and profitable crime when there's so much to lose?

The Manipulators is the third book in the Ronda George series of thrillers which can be read and enjoyed in any order, although it's exciting to watch Ronda's personal development with each book in the series and it's preferable to read them in sequence.

For fans of female sleuths and aficionados of Lucy Foley, Catherine Cooper, Allie Reynolds, Shari Lapena, Riley Sager and Lisa Jewell. You will be instantly hooked.

***** "In addition to a very clever and original storyline, there are some very exciting action sequences, in which Ronda doesn't always come out on top, which adds a bit of unpredictability to the plot. I also like the way that the Janet Pywell describes her characters, who are all very believable and very human, having both strengths and weaknesses."
