Description

An architect returns to the small Cornish town where she grew up to fulfil her godfather's legacy and find murder, in this first of the already successful Olivia Wells Mysteries.

When eco-architect Olivia Wells returns to the small Cornish seaside village of Penbartha, she hopes to honour her godfather’s legacy – transforming his disused beloved railway station into a sustainable hub for local entrepreneurs. But paradise hides its cracks and not everyone is as committed as she thought. After a heated and unexpected argument with someone she considers a friend and ally, Olivia discovers their murdered body. Can she trust anyone in Penbartha? The tight-knit community closes ranks to protect her – but the evidence tells a different story. Who would want to frame her? And how far will they go to keep things buried? As secrets rise like the tide, Olivia must uncover the truth before it pulls her under for good. The first novel in the Olivia Wells mystery series, blending love and betrayal, murder and redemption, beneath the untamed beauty of the Cornish shore. Readers Reviews ?????
