‘Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again…’ But this morning, Etta and Dora wake up to a far more haunting Cornish tale.
The golden girls of murder-solving arrive in the postcard-perfect harbour town of Fowey for their latest homeswap, just in time for the September Tide Literary Festival, a week-long celebration of Daphne du Maurier’s legacy. There’ll be guided walks, cream teas, book signings… and murder.
When a festival guest dies in a manner uncannily reminiscent of a Du Maurier novel, whispers of coincidence quickly curdle into fear. As more bodies surface, each death eerily echoing scenes from the author’s dark canon, Fowey descends into panic.
Is a twisted fan staging deadly tributes? Or is something even more sinister at work?
As the police chase literary obsessions and seagulls wheel over the estuary, Etta, Dora, and their steadfast Basset Hound Leon dig deeper.
But in a town where everyone’s quoting Rebecca and secrets smoulder like the pages of a forgotten manuscript, separating homage from homicide becomes a dangerous game…
Can our trio unmask the killer before the festival’s final curtain falls?
◆◆◆ Cosy fans, grab your festival programmes, wander literary walks, indulge in cream tea conspiracies and deadly secrets. Join Etta, Dora and Leon in du Maurier’s Cornwall for their most Gothic mystery yet! ◆◆���
