Lurking in the shadows, animosity but happy, malevolent at the moment, a human being's principles started to rotten….
Is it jealousy?
Is it sadness?
Is it unforeseen LIES?
A hearted loving born feeling's snatched like an eagle snatched a bird's from a nest?
We; humans, are capable of anything….
And everything….
To be or not to be', words or actions. If it' written. It will happen…
Unavoidable.
But at the same time, fixable.
Yesssss, let's call it the sixth sense…..
Found myself in the middle of an Agatha Christie's novel, problem was; question is:
Am I the prey?
Or the prayer?
Confusing or just confused….🤨
Coincidentally, I started to write a novel, pretty much inspired by my fave novelist Agatha Christie: Dead in the Nile'
The complexity of the characters and how interchanged their own alibis fascinated me.
Hercules Poirot, as well, played an important role in the novel.
Mine, without much bragging or flexing about, I decided to call it
'The Emerald Beetle'
The plot, as follows:
'A passionate series of deadly compulsory killings, and one motive: discard one's lovers gift of one night stand', a secretly dangerous liaison where only loving in the shadows and close doors is the only remedy to satisfy forbidden relationships. A broken, but quick witted mind, complex without flex, will stratagem like a flawless gem….in the middle of a stratagem, waiting for its mugger to break her….'
Of course; onboard of a cruise along the Mediterranean and Middle East, adding touristic places and picturesque characters.
But a secret hidden jealousy invaded whomever put their hands on this precious piece of jewelry, poisoning other around and creating acts of betrayal in order to destroy the current owners and allow new ones to enjoy the happiness and power this piece of jewelry has.
A talisman for death, killings, lust and avarice, were minds reflected their low instincts as the water used to wash rice…..
Many characters, suspicious minds and jealousy invades these particular characters that at some point in their lives crossed paths to learn about this talisman.
Inside the talisman, precious last specimen of the rare emerald stones in extinction.
The story also takes place in many touristic places where the cruise travelled and picked up the future prospects and future suspects of the killings on board of the cruise.
And the unexpected twist happing onboard of the cruise.
Will Pinkerton HaWkshaw be able to solve the crimes committed on board of the Aida Prima Cruise?
Unexpected chain of events related to the past lives of the protagonists and their dark past lives, makes it complicated to play the role of a clean good guy.
Corrupted, dirty minded and low class characters, diverse underworld hustlers make it hard to come up with a common ground of thought. There's more than one chameleon playing innocent here…..
