Murder in Treggan Bay

About the story

Human remains wash ashore beneath Hollow Eye Lighthouse, disturbing a secret Treggan Bay has kept for decades. Noah Yalland would quite like to leave the matter to the police. The paintings, poems and inconvenient questions make that difficult. With Leo offering warmth and a place to think, Noah follows a trail through old cottages and village memories. The second Treggan Bay mystery brings the coast’s buried history a little too close to home.

What to expect

Clues, village loyalties and Noah and Leo’s continuing relationship.
