A Deadly Abode
About the book
The third instalment in the Olivia Wells eco-mystery series, set in the small Cornish town of Penbartha where the tension between locals and second homers is boiling over. A cozy, atmospheric crime story for fans of Fiona Leitch.
It’s autumn and with crisp frosty weather and the leaves as colourful as they've ever been, Olivia and Jago are nestling into their life in Penbartha. Until local resentment about incomers and second-home ownership is ignited by what seems to be an increasingly militant action group.
Maybe Penbartha isn't the happy place Olivia thought it was? Is the discontent really about second homes or is someone pursuing a much more personal agenda?
When a neighbouring house is set on fire and a body found in one of the outbuildings, Olivia and Jago need to find the source of the trouble before it gets even closer to home...
