Deadly Treasures - by Jane McParkes (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The second in the already successful cosy Cornish crime series with an green twist - previously self-published - featuring eco-architect Olivia Wells.

The Cornish summer burns hotter than it has in 15 years - but beneath the sunshine, something sinister stirs. When eco-architect Olivia Parkes unveils her latest project - a cliffside manor reborn as a luxury eco-hotel - she expects acclaim, not chaos. And the return of her partner Jago Trevithick KC, a brilliant but broken barrister, who is seeking peace by the sea. But peace is short-lived. A waitress is found dead in the hotel pool. Who wanted her gone - and why? Has the dark side of Jago's work followed him to Cornwall? Or is someone close to Olivia hiding deadly secrets? As whispers spread through the sun-bleached village, Olivia and Jago must uncover the truth before the tide turns red again. In a paradise built on lies and long-buried sin, can love - or anyone - survive the truth? Reader Reviews 'Brilliant Cornish Crime!' 'Superb read!The next book in this fabulous series!'
