Book Synopsis
A bright blue sky, a glamorous boating party, an English manor house on the Cornish cliffs... and surely not another murder! Get Kitty Underhay on the case!
Cornwall, 1937. Kitty Underhay has been called to investigate some fishy goings-on in the beautiful coastal village of St Mawes. The body of Lady Cordelia Hedges' beloved father was found floating in the sea, and shortly afterwards Cordelia herself was almost killed...
Determined to piece together the puzzle, Kitty spends her first evening in the Cornish bay at one of Cordelia's lavish parties. But she's not just soaking up the idyllic surroundings with her husband Matt, she's at the party to get to know those closest to their host. The sleuthing duo quickly realise they're in unchartered waters and this could be their toughest case yet.
Later that evening, a scream wakes Kitty in the middle of the night: Lady Cordelia is sitting bolt upright in bed, swearing someone has been in her room. As Bertie the dog retrieves a knife from behind the curtain, Kitty's list of suspects grows: could the murderer be Cordelia's suspicious stepsister, her spoiled future mother-in-law, or someone even closer to home...?
Then a house guest eats a poisoned chocolate from a box addressed to Cordelia and dies. This latest tragedy helps Kitty to make progress in her investigations at last. But is Kitty floundering? Will she be able to solve this case before someone else gets hurt, or will Kitty end up in a watery grave?
Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey or Lee Strauss will adore this utterly charming murder mystery. The perfect treat for cozy crime fans!
