It’s the hottest summer Cornwall has seen in 15 years. Eco-architect Olivia, who specialises in breathing life into old buildings in cutting-edge and sustainable ways, is launching her latest project, a boutique hotel. Jago Trevithick KC meets her there after a disastrous trial, seeking peace and a refuge from the underworld.

But when the couple discover the dead body of a waitress in the hotel’s swimming pool, Jago fears the dark side of his profession has followed him home. Or are his troubles more personal than he thought?

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.
