Death in Cornwall, Hardback Book

Death in Cornwall Hardback

Part of the St. Just mystery series

Hardback

Description

A humorous cozy set in the picturesque surroundings of Cornwall starring Cambridge DCI Arthur St.

Just and his fiancee Portia De'Ath. To celebrate their engagement, DCI Arthur St. Just and Portia De'Ath visit the quiet village of Maidsfell in Cornwall.

Upon arriving they find the villagers in an uproar over plans to redevelop the local seafront.

The fishermen want to build a new slipway to aid their business, but many residents worry it will spoil the view for the tourists who help drive the economy.

After a heated village meeting on the issue, St. Just overhears an argument involving Lord Bodwally - an unpopular aristocrat staunchly opposed to the plans.

Later, Bodwally's lifeless body is discovered. It's murder. Although Bodwally was disliked, who'd go so far as to kill him?

St. Just, although an outsider from Cambridge, feels compelled to help the local authorities investigate.

Is Bodwally's death linked to the seafront, his suspect business dealings, or a secret from the past?

One thing is certain, the fallout threatens to change Maidsfell forever . . .
