Julia and Frankie visit their friend in Cornwall. When the body of a local property developer washes up on the beach, the police believe the death was accidental, but the sisters have other ideas.
My thoughts: In a quiet Cornish village, Julia and Frankie stumble, or should I say, swim across the body of an unpopular property developer. The local police constable says it’s an accidental drowning, but that doesn’t explain the head injury or the boat.
Problem is, he has almost too many enemies, so they need to narrow it down. Was it the possibly smuggling brother fishermen? The local builder? Or someone else in the village?
Cue a lot of creeping about, trying to find out who was where and when, running into the eccentric neighbour who rescues local wildlife, and wondering whether Julia’s old friend might be involved.
Julia and Frankie’s relationship is a lot better than in the last book, living together and working out what jobs they’re best at and dividing the labour has meant less bickering. There’s still some friction during the case between Frankie’s dive right into it and Julia’s more cautious approach.
Another funny, clever escapade for the sisters, who might never leave home again!
