Murder at the Cornish Book Club
(2026)(The second book in the Maddie Penrose series)
A novel by Fliss Chester
Join Maddie Penrose, book lover, scone baker and amateur sleuth, in her new home by the Cornish seaside. A member of her local book club has been murdered, and she’s on the case!
Maddie Penrose is settling into Cornish village life nicely, helping out at the village book club and enjoying the occasional G&T in the pub with handsome police officer DI Tom Trevelyan. She’s very much at home. But then she spots Quentin, a member of the book club… dead, with a knife in his back.
It turns out that almost all the other members of the book club have a motive to murder Quentin. Is his wife to blame? Is there a jealous romance author at play? And what about the other writer keeping secrets?
No sooner has the ink dried on the page of the first killing, another takes place in the village – and the second victim is also a member of the book club! As Maddie frantically scrambles to get her clues down in black and white, she unearths a shocking discovery. Is another member of the book club next on the list?
Can Maddie solve the mystery before her story ends in murder too? Or will the killer have the last word?
