About A Body in a Cornish Village: A Kate Palmer Mystery, Book 7 (Unabridged)

Cornish cream teas in the sun, dog walks on the beach and...a murder investigation? Can Kate Palmer–part-time nurse and cake-loving sleuth–solve her most baffling case yet? Kate Palmer is delighted when she learns that her home, the beautiful seaside village of Tinworthy, is the setting for a new TV show. She’s even more excited when she, her handsome husband, Woody, and her drama-queen sister, Angie, are all invited to be extras. But when the cameras start rolling, the trio is in for a nasty surprise when the film’s writer and producer, Crispin Wyngarde, drops dead.... Before long, rumors start flying, and Angie is in the spotlight for murder. Kate knows her sister had a brief, stormy fling with Crispin during her younger days as an actress, but surely Angie couldn’t have hated him that much, could she? Kate is certain of her sister’s innocence and is determined to prove it. But who would want to kill Crispin and set the stage for Angie to take the fall? Could it be Fergal, Angie’s jealous boyfriend? Sonja, the eccentric director, who had a love-hate relationship with Crispin? Or gorgeous Guy, the hairdresser who’s held a grudge against the problematic producer for years? Armed with a list of possible culprits, Kate sets out to interview everyone she can. Over cups of tea, secrets start to spill out about overheard conversations and mysterious money transfers. But just as Kate thinks she’s finally on the right track, her main suspect is found dead after a party in the village. To make matters worse, he’s one of Angie’s old flames too.... Kate needs to solve the crime–and quick–to save her feisty sister. Can she untangle the clues and get to the truth, before it’s curtains down for Angie? If you love murder mysteries with a brilliant cast of characters, twisty plots, and plenty of tea and cake, A Body in a Cornish Village will have you hooked until the very last chapter!
