Crime and Intrigue on the Costa: Daisy’s Chain

The Spanish Costa del Sol may be famous for its golden beaches and sunny skies. However, beneath the postcard-perfect surface lies a darker side. In Daisy’s Chain, crime and corruption simmer just beneath the sangria-splashed glamour. Furthermore, at least one woman finds herself entangled in a world she never expected.

Set against the backdrop of a coastal town popular with British expats and holidaymakers, Daisy’s Chain introduces readers to Daisy. Daisy is a young woman living in Spain with her wealthy British father and Spanish mother. But the quiet life she imagined quickly turns into something far more dangerous. With whispers of betrayal, secret dealings, and deadly intentions, Daisy finds herself in a deadly game where trust is a luxury and the stakes are life and death.

Costa del Crime

The novel draws on the contrast between the sunlit landscape and the shadows that lurk in its alleyways and urbanisations. Inspired by real-world headlines and the author’s deep familiarity with life on the Costa del Sol, the story paints a picture that’s as vivid as it is chilling. This isn’t the glossy tourist version of Spain. This is the gritty reality few talk about. It’s where expat communities sometimes mask secrets, and crime wears a polite smile.

What begins as a series of seemingly unrelated incidents—missing persons, coded messages, and late-night rendezvous—soon weaves into a tightly wound chain of suspense. As Daisy digs deeper, she starts to alienate everyone she thought loved her. And when the truth finally surfaces, it’s more explosive than everyone had ever imagined.

Gripping story

Readers who enjoy thrillers with complex characters and unpredictable twists will be hooked from the very first page. Daisy’s Chain is more than just a mystery… It’s a psychological journey through mistrust, survival, and the hidden cost of starting over in paradise.

Whether you’re a fan of international thrillers, expat noir, or female-led mysteries, Daisy’s Chain delivers. It’s a gripping story set in a world where sunshine and sin go hand in hand.

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
