A Seaside Murder

The English coast is like nowhere else on earth. The fresh sea breeze, gentle waves lapping the shore... and a body on the promenade?Newly retired Sarah Vane is completely settled in Merstairs, enjoying the quirky, quaint feel of her new home. With some time on her hands, she decides to surprise her friend Daphne by cleaning her dusty, cluttered seafront shop. But when she arrives there early one morning, Sarah is shocked to find a dying woman on the doorstep, who utters one word before she takes her last breath: 'Wits...'The victim is Abi Moffat - a much loved schoolteacher. Who could want her dead, and what could 'wits' possibly mean? Could the answer to Abi's death be in Whitstable - the posher town along the coast? Or on a card from the luxurious Wittes Hotel found in her pocket? Or was it her scorned ex-boyfriend, Josh Whittsall who sent Abi countless postcards and flowers after they broke up?All roads seem to lead to dead ends, and as Sarah talks to the locals it becomes clear that Abi had many admirers but not a single enemy. But then, a member of the Merstairs craft club is found dead at the local fun fair. At first glance, the two victims seem to have nothing in common, until Sarah takes a closer look at the clues, and realises there is something shocking in the close-knit Merstairs community that links them...Join amateur sleuth Sarah for another gripping murder mystery in the breezy seaside town of Merstairs!
