Murder at Solent Island Lighthouse by A. S. McClatchie (Book 1 in the Solent Island Mysteries)
Genny Hadley needs a new life.
Animal lover and soon-to-be bakery owner on a sleepy island off the south coast of England, Genny is settling into her fresh start two years after her sister's death in a hit and run, which made her quit her detective job in busy London. With her bakery being renovated and her new seaside cottage falling apart around her, Genny's trying to get to grips with the quirky locals and small town life.
But when Genny and the islanders attend the re-opening of the beloved lighthouse which has been derelict for twenty years, no one expects to find the lifeless body of local builder - and Genny's renovator - Mitchell Collins strewn on the steps with the lighthouse's distinctive red paint splashed across his skin and clothing.
With the clues leading the police on a wild goose chase, the young DI on the case, Remy Cochran, turns to Genny for her expertise, and she soon finds herself swept back into the world she had thought she had left far behind her.
Fans of Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders, and The Flora Steele Mystery Books will love the first installment in these cozy, witty and fast-paced mysteries!
