A Deadly Inheritance: A dark and atmospheric Cornish thriller where a murder shatters trust, and a village hides dangerous secrets (Olivia Wells Mysteries 1)

Eco-architect Olivia Wells's return to the small Cornish seaside village of Penbartha is troubled. She's taken leave from her successful life in Manhattan to create the legacy her godfather wanted, a sustainable group of entrepreneurs working out of his beloved disused railway station, boosting the local economy and bringing more life to the village. But it seems that not everyone is as committed as she'd thought. The day after an unexpected argument with someone she considered an ally, Olivia finds her friend's murdered body. The tight-knit Cornish community closes ranks to protect Olivia, but the forensic evidence points in only one direction. Against all her instincts, Olivia finds herself relying on newcomer Jago Trevithick in her efforts to clear her name and help the police find the real killer. With a dark web of secrets and lies becoming visible throughout Penbartha, who can Olivia really trust?
