Footprints at Appletree Lodge
(2026)(The second book in the Appletree Lodge Mystery series)
A novel by Jay Larkin
Running Appletree Lodge keeps Freda busy, but trouble in Saltmere-on-Sea never seems to stay outside the guesthouse door.
Before long Freda finds herself dealing with a missing heir whose story does not quite add up, a ‘sure thing’ racing tip that smells distinctly fishy, and a tumble on the staircase that looks too carefully arranged to be an accident.
With her sharp eye for the details others overlook, Freda soon realises that small footprints can lead to large secrets. Fortunately, her friend Wendy McNeil is always nearby with a sensible word when Freda’s instincts take her somewhere unexpected.
Set in 1980s England, Footprints at Appletree Lodge is a warm, murder-free mystery full of seaside charm, clever puzzles and the small clues that reveal much bigger secrets. At Appletree Lodge, every stay comes with a mystery. Each chapter presents a self-contained puzzle, perfect for dipping in for a quick, satisfying read.
