Murder on the Cliff Path
(2026)(The second book in the Porth Yarrow Mystery series)
A novel by Elowen Rose
On the Porth Yarrow cliff path, history has a dangerous habit of losing its footing.
Three weeks after murder first came to Gull House, Clementine Keverne is trying to keep her late aunt’s Cornish tearoom open for summer. There are cream teas to serve, picnic boxes to label, a mischievous dog to manage, and a village still far too interested in what Clem intends to do next.
The Coastwatch cliff-path history walk should be good for visitors, village morale, and Gull House’s takings. Then its guide, local historian Dr Martin Carbis, announces that Aunt Violet was right about an old death: Tom Curnow did not simply fall near the East Steps. Someone called him there before the tide turned.
By evening, fog rolls in from the cove, Martin disappears from the path, and his body is found below the cliffs.
At first it looks like a tragic accident. But Martin’s red satchel is missing, his torch lies in the wrong place, and the path itself seems to be telling a different story.
To uncover the truth, Clem must follow the clues through tide tables, Coastwatch logs, old photographs, retreat brochures, village grudges, and the dangerous question of who gets to control Porth Yarrow’s past.
Because in this village, the dead do not always stay buried.
And some paths are closed for a reason.
Murder on the Cliff Path is the second book in The Porth Yarrow Mysteries: a warm, witty Cornish cozy mystery with a seaside village, an amateur sleuth, a tearoom, a loyal dog, slow-burn romantic tension, and secrets that wash in with the tide.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
