Past secrets, agitated acquaintances, and a deceased body. Can this retired investigator prove a killer has struck again?
Isle of Man, 1967. Tom Ramsay is cautiously ready to be busy. Training a new sleuthing partner who's determined to fill up their caseload, he decides to help some friends prepare for the town's literary festival. But after a local celebrity's autobiographical reading stirs up the past by questioning a decades-old accidental death, the former cop becomes intrigued when the ailing author turns up dead.
Although police are leaning towards a natural cause, Ramsay visits the man's cottage and discovers a crucial piece of evidence missing. So when the coroner rules out murder, the determined sleuth decides to still follow his instincts that are honing in on five suspects with one clear motive.
When several stories don't add up, can he and his team pen a new ending for this closed case?
Death on the Blackrock Steps is the entertaining eighth book in the One Man and His Dog Cozy Mysteries series. If you like believable characters and their pets, charming seaside landscapes, and twisty plots that keep you guessing, then you'll love P.C. James's comfy adventure.
