Legacies, Lies & Murder (Prentiss & Parker Cozy Mysteries Book 1)
By Kathy Manos Penn
A fresh start, a seaside festival, and a very inconvenient corpse.
When a literary festival turns deadly, Leta Parker and Dave Prentiss discover that the past writes the most dangerous stories of all.
Settling into married life, Leta and Dave travel to Cornwall for a bookish getaway—festival events and coastal rambles—accompanied by their two very opinionated pets, Dickens and Christie. But celebrations sour when a famously prickly local author is found dead on the eve of her big event, and whispers of hidden letters, wartime secrets, and a contested legacy ripple through the harbor town.
From quayside pubs to cliff-top paths and a crumbling country house, Leta and Dave follow a trail of polite lies and carefully curated reputations. As suspects close ranks and a second threat surfaces, it will take Leta’s intuition, Dave’s research savvy, and a nudge or two from their four-legged companions to unmask a killer determined to keep the last chapter unwritten.
Set in the world of the beloved Dickens & Christie series yet crafted to welcome new readers, Legacies, Lies & Murder launches The Prentiss & Parker Cozy Mysteries with seaside charm, bookish clues, and a marriage tested by murder.
