A Deadly Abode

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...

"A Deadly Abode" was written by Jane McParkes.

Jane is the author of a new cosy crime series with an eco twist. It includes 'green' characters, ideas and solutions set against the backdrop of traditional murder mysteries. After a lifetime of secret scribbling, it was the diagnosis of a rare, but treatable cancer that focused Jane’s mind on taking her writing seriously. The Olivia Wells Mysteries combine Jane's love of Cornwall and her interest in the environment and sustainability.

Yes, "A Deadly Abode" is part of the "The Olivia Wells Mysteries" series. It's book 3 in the series.
