Agnes Sharp and the Trip of a Lifetime, Miss Sharp Investigates Book 2 BY Leonie Swann

In Murder in Cornwall, the highly anticipated sequel to The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp, Agnes Sharp and her octogenarian friends from Sunset Hall find themselves in the midst of a chilling mystery. With the year winding down and the residents of Sunset Hall feeling the bite of a broken boiler and dreary winter, a series of murders in the nearby hamlet of Duck End adds to their discomfort. Tired of the dismal conditions and the constant news of local crimes, the group seizes a golden opportunity when Edwina wins a luxury stay at a coastal hotel in Cornwall.

Excited for a change of scenery and to escape their dreary routine, Agnes, Charlie, Marshall, and the rest of the gang eagerly pack their bags and head for the seaside retreat. However, their vacation takes a sinister turn when Agnes witnesses two hooded figures leaving the hotel along the cliffs, with only one returning. Her concern is dismissed as mere imagination at first, overshadowed by the excitement of the hotel's incredible amenities, from gourmet meals to wellness treatments and a new boa constrictor resident.

But their holiday joy is short-lived. A storm isolates the hotel from the outside world, and as the winds howl and the guests are confined within, it becomes evident that a murderer is among them. With their peaceful retreat now a crime scene, Agnes and her friends must put their wits and newfound detective skills to the test to unmask the killer before they become the next victims. Murder in Cornwall is a delightful blend of suspense, humor, and charming elderly sleuths navigating a perilous situation.
