Murder on the Hidden Quay: A Cornish Cozy Mystery (The Porth Yarrow Mysteries Book 3)
By Elowen Rose
A storm has opened up Porth Yarrow’s hidden quay. Someone has good reason to wish it had stayed buried.
Clementine Keverne has enough to do keeping the rain out of Gull House and the tea flowing. A storm has battered her picturesque Cornish village, and beneath the damaged harbour wall, an old landing has emerged – carefully sealed away years before.
Then Eleanor Rook, the engineer called in to inspect the damage, is found dead in the boat stores.
With her scruffy terrier Pippin at her heels, Clem begins asking questions. But in Porth Yarrow, an innocent enquiry can disturb a friendship, threaten a livelihood or uncover something the neighbours have spent twenty years trying to forget. And an old harbour tragedy is starting to look rather less like an accident.
Between the demands of the tearoom and a growing conviction that someone is concealing the truth, Clem must untangle the village’s loyalties before she can make sense of its lies.
Return to Porth Yarrow, where fishing boats bob beneath flower-filled terraces, the kettle is seldom cold, and everyone has a story. Some are more carefully rehearsed than others.
Murder on the Hidden Quay is the third book in Elowen Rose’s Porth Yarrow Mysteries: a Cornish cosy mystery full of seaside atmosphere, dry humour, enduring friendship and a dog with opinions of his own.
