Morwenna Mutton should be living the quiet life of a librarian and grandmother in Cornwall’s beautiful Seal Bay – if only dead bodies would stop turning up…

Synopsis:

After the excitement of her last investigation, amateur sleuth Morwenna is looking forward to things getting back to normal. When local DJ Irina asks to meet however, desperate to share information she has discovered regarding nefarious goings-on, Morwenna can’t resist.

But Irina never arrives for their drink – instead her body is washed up on the beach, an apparent victim of an accidental drowning. At once keen wild bather Morwenna knows something is amiss as Irina was a strong swimmer who knew the local conditions well. What had Irina uncovered and who would want her dead?

When the local news dubs Irina’s murderer The Cream Tea Killer in honour of Cornwall’s famous delicacy, the clock starts ticking. Now the murderer knows Morwenna is on their trail, no one in her family is safe. She must get to the truth before the killer gets to her…


Review:

This is book 3 of the series, and Morwena and her family are trying to move on from the events in the last book, and she is thinking she was ghosted by her new doctor friend, and being ok with that, when he comes back to town, just when a new mystery arrives on her door step. Morwena isn't about to let her friend's death go undetected and is soon on the job, trying to find the clues the police are missing. A fun cozy, this one has a few red herrings as well, for an enjoyable quick read.
