A Body on the Beach: A Kate Palmer Mystery (Book 5)

It’s the annual summer fete in Tinworthy village and Kate Palmer is looking forward to an afternoon of Cornish cream cake, brass bands, fresh sea air and plenty of sunshine. Murder is not on the menu! Unfortunately when Kate goes for a cliff-top walk she spots the body of village gossip Sienna Stone on the sandy beach below. It isn’t long before rumours start swirling through the close knit community and the finger of suspicion is pointing in Kate’s direction. Half the village saw her arguing with Sienna earlier that day and even though it was the usual bickering between neighbours, Kate finds herself firmly in the frame. Can Kate and new husband Woody Forrest solve the mystery and clear her name? Sienna wasn’t very popular and a number of people might have wanted her dead including Irvin, her long-suffering husband, jealous younger sister Sally,  Timmy Thomson, the man who idolised her, and the Tinworthy villagers who’d been on the receiving end of her sharp tongue! Finding the killer won’t be easy and just when Kate thinks she’s getting close, an unexpected visitor shares some curious information that sets her on a different and potentially opens her up to real danger.
