About this listen

After many years working around the world for an international charity in the late 1960s, Eleanor Trewynn has retired to the relative quiet of a small town in Cornwall. But her quiet life is short-lived when, due to her experience, the Commonwealth Relations Office reaches out to her to assist in a secret conference that is to take place in a small hotel outside the historical village of Tintagel.

Meanwhile, her niece, Detective Sergeant Megan Pencarrow, is investigating the disappearance of a local solicitor when she is assigned to help provide security for the conference. Two African students, refugees from Ian Smith's Rhodesia, arrive for the conference, escorted by Megan's bête noire from Scotland Yard. They are followed by two mysterious and sinister Londoners, whose allegiances and connections to the conference and the missing solicitor are unclear. With a raging storm having trapped everyone in the hotel, the stage is set for murder, and it's up to Eleanor and Megan to uncover the truth before more lives are lost.

Gentle story with enough mystery to keep my attention, pretty setting, quirky characters - what more could you ask? Sympathetically narrated too (unlike the author's Daisy Dalrymple series).

I love this series!

Well read but woeful pronunciations- Lanceston, Caradoc and executors are outstandingly memorable! What a shame!

I've enjoyed the series, but some of the narrator's pronunciation of some words is absolutely excruciating. Wish they would do the research before recording!
That notwithstanding, they are well written and I'm going to get the paperbacks for mum for her birthday.

Great Fun

I have just finished listening to the 4 books in this series. The narrator is good although there are some interesting pronunciations! Easy listening story and I really enjoyed the development of the characters. Will look out for another one.
