Camels, kasbahs and chaos but not necessarily in that order. Down on his luck, Harry is invited by his Aunt Jessica to accompany her on one of her history tours. When one of the group is murdered and the victim's wife is arrested, neither Harry or Aunt Jessica are convinced she is guilty. Harry's attempts to investigate land him in trouble and only with Aunt Jessica's help can he avoid arrest himself. Like your crime with a touch of humour in a travel setting? If you are a fan of M E Beaton's Agatha Raison novels or Elizabeth Peters' Vicky Bliss adventures, you love Aunt Jessica's adventures. What readers are saying about MURDER IN MOROCCO: -'A somewhat lost young man joins his globe-trotting aunt for a lecture tour in Morocco, and gets far more than he bargained for. An absorbing and entertaining whodunnit in the best tradition of British murder mysteries. Interesting characters, excellent plot and pacing, and lots of great local colour of Morocco. Kept me guessing till the very end.''Another travelling triumph for Miss Cranswick who seems to have all the right sensibilities to juggle crime and humour. This is an admirable undertaking that not everybody manages. I particularly enjoy the settings within her novels although it does give me the pang to travel. Even if there is going to be murder!' 'The thing about Judith Cranswick's books is that you get a wonderful tour of whatever place the story is set in. Judith's descriptions of various locations in Morocco makes the reader 'see' everything. No need to go on an actual tour; just read Judith's book! She shows her depth of knowledge about Morocco, from the city of Marrakech to the villages in the mountainous regions, including the traditions and the food.''Just finished reading 'Murder on Morocco' and what an enjoyable read it is. There are plenty of bodies and red herrings along the way and all set against the wonderful Moroccan backdrop, which has been added to my 'must visit' list. There is even tea and cake! There are a whole new set of characters to enjoy so let's hope there are plenty more in the series.''Poor Harry! He's been down on his luck lately, so when his aunt Jessica offers him the chance to get away from a British winter on a free holiday in return for a bit of fetching and carrying, he jumps at the chance. Sadly though, things don't exactly go according to plan, and soon he and his aunt are embroiled in Murder in Morocco.'

"In Morocco, nobody dies without a reason." -- Susan Gilson Miller, Harvard University In the years leading up to World War I, the Great Powers of Europe jostled one another for control over Morocco, the last sovereign nation in North Africa. France beat out its rivals and added Morocco to its vast colonial holdings through the use of diplomatic intrigue and undisguised force. But greed and ambition alone do not explain the complex story of imperialism in its entirety. Amid fears that Morocco was descending into anarchy, Third Republic France justified its bloody conquest through an appeal to a higher ideal. France's self-proclaimed "civilizing mission" eased some consciences but led to inevitable conflict and tragedy. Murder in Marrakesh relates the story of the early days of the French conquest of Morocco from a new perspective, that of Ã‰mile Mauchamp, a young French doctor, his compatriots, and some justifiably angry Moroccans. In 1905, the French foreign ministry sent Mauchamp to Marrakesh to open a charitable clinic. He died there less than two years later at the hands of a mob. Reviled by the Moroccans as a spy, Mauchamp became a martyr for the French. His death, a tragedy for some, created opportunity for others, and set into motion a chain of events that changed Morocco forever. As it reconstructs Mauchamp's life, this book touches on many themes -- medicine, magic, vengeance, violence, mourning, and memory. It also considers the wedge French colonialism drove between Morocco's Muslims and Jews. This singular episode and compelling human story provides a timely reflection on French-Moroccan relations, colonial pride, and the clash of civilizations.

Happy Harrow, a Kentucky hills jockey who moonlights as a sleuth, is married to Rick Harrow, an Eton-educated English racehorse trainer. Their training stables and home are in Epsom, England, a delightful and picturesque area. Their newest owner, Achilles Pinot, a tycoon of France's perfume industry gave them a completely pre-paid two week vacation in Morocco with their three small children. The gift had one condition, he asked them to chaperone his adored niece Pricilla who would be working as a temp school teacher in Agadir. So the Harrows and Pricilla were all staying at the same hotel. Happy quickly discovered that chaperoning the young and provocative Priscilla was not easy. She was constantly picking up men off the street and invited them to come to her room either early in the evening or after midnight. The hotel recently developed a sinister reputation that appeared in the media after a teenage girl had been murdered there. The murder was attributed to a vampire because the girl had two holes on her throat that resembled pointed teeth marks. After Happy and her family's first night in the hotel another teenage girl is murdered and has identical marks on her throat. With Agnes Murray, another hotel guest, Happy and Rick take Pricilla to another town, Essaouira; famous as a resort for surfers. There they meet Agnes' son, surfer Keith Murray, who has sharp-pointed canine teeth. After one look, Pricilla lusts to have sex with Keith. But, is he the Vampire? He often visits his mother at night in Agadir. More vampire-style deaths follow at the doomed hotel. The media has created frenzy that does not let up. To get to the truth, Happy enlists her friend Maheen Palazzo to be serve as her Dr. Watson-like aide; Sherlock Holmes-style to help solve the murders. The saga travels back and forth to many cities in Morocco, Agadir, Essaouira, Marrakesh and Rabat.

Running a bed and breakfast in Riad Waqi, an old courtyard house in exotic Marrakech, is not the escape it seems for Ramzi, a disillusioned Scottish scientist. He cannot decide who are more exasperating, staff or guests, especially when one of the visitors, Paul Gallisot, a young Frenchman, is murdered in the city. Up for a challenge, Ramzi turns detective and makes his own investigations into the killing, at a time when Morocco prepares for the festival of Eid and the ritual slaughter of sheep in the nation's homes. Paul Gallisot's childhood links to North Africa, his enigmatic wife Nicole, and their relationship with Tahar, who is suspected of being involved in the Casablanca terrorist attacks, lead Ramzi down a path as challenging as the labyrinth of the historic medina of Marrakech. As Ramzi makes headway, he meets the unorthodox Dr Rashida, is bewildered by Inspector Haddad, endures the prejudice of Paul's sister, is confided a mystery by an American, Bob Spasoff, and in his role as hotelier, plays havoc with Riad Waqi's guests. The search for motive and murderer progresses from a traditional exorcism to a journey across the Atlas to the disturbing Blue Rocks near the ancient oasis of Tafrouate. There comedy turns to tragedy as he tests out his suspicions. As Ramzi uncovers the truth behind Paul Gallisot's death, he realizes people are unknowable-and that life defies scientific logic.

This unique anthology of crime fiction features 15 original stories of “scandals, smugglers, and other sordid tales” by award-winning Moroccan authors (CrimeReads). At first glance, Marrakech may seem like an odd setting for noir fiction. Contemporary Moroccans call it The Joyful City—a place where locals are happy to joke about gossip and quick to forget stories of crime. But in Marrakech Noir, some of Morocco’s finest authors address old wrong that have been kept hidden behind the city’s ancient gates, and spin contemporary tales of poverty, grift, and violence in this global tourist destination. Marrakech Noir features brand-new stories by Fouad Laroui, Allal Bourqia, Abdelkader Benali, Mohamed Zouhair, Mohamed Achaari, Hanane Derkaoui, Fatiha Morchid, Mahi Binebine, Mohamed Nedali, Halima Zine El Abidine, My Seddik Rabbaj, Yassin Adnan, Karima Nadir, Taha Adnan, and Lahcen Bakour.
