About this ebook

Returning to Cornwall has given Merrin McKenzie a fresh start. Leaving her legal career behind, she's throwing herself into the town's new artists' cooperative shop - and wondering if Chief Inspector Louis Peppiatt might become more than a friend.

When the glamorous and wealthy Roxy sails into town, Merrin welcomes her as a promising customer. She certainly makes an impression on everyone she meets, but increasingly Roxy's stories don't add up, and trouble follows in her wake. As rumours swirl, Merrin discovers that behind the glittering façade
lie family tensions, hidden loyalties and dangerous secrets. Can she uncover the truth before the idyllic Cornish town is rocked by another deadly surprise?
