The Case Of Broken Quill

When literary legend Octavia Glyn is found dead in her St Merryn's Cove cottage, it seems her final edit may have been fatal. Her long-awaited memoir promised to reveal decades of scandal from Cornwall's creative elite-but someone ensured the last chapter stayed unwritten.For local bookseller-turned-sleuth Demelza Pascoe, curiosity proves impossible to resist. A missing manuscript, a red-inked threat, and a trail of bruised egos lead her deep into the tangled lives of poets, painters, and ghosts of a writers' retreat long past.As secrets resurface and reputations crumble, Demelza and her irrepressible assistant Jess must separate art from artifice before the truth is lost to history-and before another pen turns deadly.Witty, atmospheric, and irresistibly Cornish, The Case of the Broken Quill (or your chosen title) proves that in St Merryn's Cove, the deadliest stories are the ones people still want to tell.
