When author and private investigator, Diana Rivers travels to Portugal for a holiday, murder is the last thing on her mind.
On the first day of her visit, nothing bodes well at the International College of Portugal when a woman’s body is found interred behind a wall during renovation work. The striped plastic tape around the crime-scene portrays a sense of nail-biting unease. Diana sets out to discover who the victim is - and that's when a second woman's body is found...only this time it's a student from the college.
Diana upsets a whole hornets nest when she stumbles upon students practicing sexual rituals in the sand dunes, the makings of a drug factory and money laundering..and that's not including a rash of killings. Her plans for a quiet break go out of the window.
But as usual...Diana is in her element.

Review

She did it again!Faith has enticed us with another, the sixth,Diana River series. Without hesitation, I rate this one the best of theprevious five and they were excellent in their own right!! Steve triesto put his foot down, so to speak, about Diana's constant need toinvolve herself in a murder mystery. As luck would have it, whiletraveling with Steve on a business trip to The Algarve, Diana isconfronted almost immediately with the finding of a body buried behind a wall. Spurred by a need to help her friend Wendy's god-daughter,another murder while there, and the mysterious behavior of students andstaff, Diana feels encumbered to go to life threatening means to findthe murderer. At the same time, Steve, finds himself immersed in a badbusiness deal and entangled with a corrupted friend. Faith Mortimer, asshe does so well, brings all these activities to an exciting conclusion. I arose at 3 a.m. to finish this one as my brain sorted out themurderer. I always avidly await her next book and this one was worththe wait. Well done, Faith, well done. To paraphrase your hero leader,Mr. Churchill, "An enigma wrapped in a mystery." One which you onlycould write.

I have loved this series and again downloaded this one as soon as it was available. I loved this one too. It's another mystery that keeps you engrossed until the final pages. I read it in one setting because it was another one I couldn't put down. Faith is one of my favorite authors and I definitely will be looking forward to her next book.

You automatically want to solve the case together with Diana Rivers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 4, 2015

With A Deadly Learning, Faith Mortimer has created a thrilling suspense story with local flair. The story comprises a broad variety of believable characters with sufficient depth, nicely woven situations and interesting interactions to solve a set of crimes. I had a great time reading A Deadly Learning - it is a very intriguing read. I was drawn into the story right away, thrilled to solve the mystery alongside Diana. This is for you if you like female sleuths, crime writers, suspense with twists and local flair.

A suspenseful book and/or series to read again. I'm eagerly waiting for the opportunity to read the previous volumes of the series.

Recommended.

Mystery and Mayhem

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2014

The more books I read by this author, the more I like her writing. She reminds me of that other great British author Agatha Christie! The writing flows evenly and the plotline develops well. This author captured the atmosphere of the setting from the very beginning. A thoroughly good read.

A Deadly Learning can easily be read as a stand alone novel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 10, 2015

A Deadly Learning is the sixth book in the Diana Rivers series.

Diana certainly seems to get around a bit. In this book, her and her husband Steve go to Portugal to visit an old friend as always murder and mayhem is never far away from where ever Diana is.

Even if you haven't read the other five books in the series, A Deadly Learning can easily be read as a stand alone novel.

I don't know if it's just me but I personally feel that this series is getting a bit darker and definitely more thrilling with each new book. Faith manages to capture the readers attention right from the start and keeps their interest through out the whole book. It is certainly full of suspense and I have yet to figure out who the culprits are before Diana does.

As usual we meet a mixture of new characters who are very intriguing, though have to admit I took an instant dislike to the very self assured Jake.

The Diana Rivers series is a must for all lovers of murder, mystery and suspense.

Faith Mortimer. Brilliant.
A Deadly Learning.
This is the latest novel in the Diana Rivers series, and it's set in sunny Portugal. As always with Faiths book, you feel as though you are right there in whatever country it is set in. Steve has business to attend to in Portugal and so Diana goes along with him and they both stay at a friends house. Diana's friend is Wendy and she works at the local school, this is where crimes have been committed and Diana gets involved.whilst they are there Steve finds out his business partner is involved with dodgy dealings, so Steve heads to the UK to see if he can sort this problem out. Diana stays on in Portugal to investigate a couple of strange deaths.as always with Faiths books it cracks on at a fair pace, and there are always a couple of things on the go at once. I've read all the Diana Rivers books and this one is a very good addition to the series. Roll on the next book is what I say.
5 stars. 20 March 2014.

I love this series of books following the adventures of writer and amateur sleuth, Diana Rivers and her husband Steve. This one is set in a college in Portugal, where they are staying with a friend of Diana's. From the beginning I was engrossed in the story from when the first body was found. Steve has business problems and goes to London leaving Diana who carries on doing detective work in Portugal and putting herself into danger again. The plot is well thought out and keeps you in suspense until the end. Thank you, Faith Mortimer, for another enjoyable read.

Diana and her husband accept an invitation to spend a few days vacation visiting a friend who teaches at the International College of Portugal. Needless to say Diana becomes embroiled in investigating the murder of a woman who is found encased inside a wall of the college. Various themes run through this book with a lot of characters to get to grips with, it is fast paced action with Diana in the thick of things.
