[Murder in Treggan Bay](https://jerntonkoi.com/books/murder-in-treggan-bay/) ## About the story An exceptional jar of clotted cream arrives at Drift Café with three kisses for Leo. Before Noah Yalland can decide whether to mind, a telephone call takes them to Mallowcombe Barton, where a restaurateur lies dead over a heated pan. An apparent accident, a local quarrel and an unusually conspicuous can of cream offer convenient explanations. Noah follows altered records and carefully polished accounts towards the detail someone hoped he would overlook. The fifth Treggan Bay mystery mixes Devon food, village loyalties and wry first-person sleuthing. ### What to expect Clues, village loyalties and Noah and Leo’s continuing relationship. ### Ending and reading order A complete mystery; continuing characters. **Content notes** - Murder investigation - Death and grief ## Reading options Availability varies by country. ### Ebook [Amazon](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HJ6B54RL) [Kobo](https://www.kobo.com/ebook/death-by-clotted-cream) [Books2Read](https://books2read.com/tonkoi-deathbyclottedcream) [Apple Books](https://books.apple.com/us/book/death-by-clotted-cream/id6821814102) ### Paperback [Amazon](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HMR3GQW7) ### Hardcover [Amazon](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HMS4NXBX) **Choose a format** ## In reading order - 1 [Murder in Treggan Bay](https://jerntonkoi.com/books/murder-in-treggan-bay/) - 2 [The Watchman’s Secret](https://jerntonkoi.com/books/the-watchman-s-secret/) - 3 [Murder at Torre Manor](https://jerntonkoi.com/books/murder-at-torre-manor/) - 4 [Mermaid’s Fury](https://jerntonkoi.com/books/mermaids-fury/) - 5 Death by Clotted CreamYou are here - 6 [Secret of the Stone](https://jerntonkoi.com/books/secret-of-the-stone/) Planned for early December 2026 - 7 [The Murder of Blue Six](https://jerntonkoi.com/books/the-murder-of-blue-six/) Planned for early 2027 ## Read next ### [Secret of the Stone](https://jerntonkoi.com/books/secret-of-the-stone/) Four men died beneath the hill.
