Everyone in Thornhaven loved Arthur Polkinghorne.
Which is exactly why one of them killed him.
Former crime journalist Evie Marsh arrived in the Cornish village of Thornhaven with three bin bags, a broken plan, and one strict instruction to herself: stop noticing things.
She lasts three days.
When retired headmaster Arthur Polkinghorne - beloved by the entire village - is found dead on the beach below the cliff path, the police call it a tragic accident. But Evie notices a walking stick in the wrong position. A chess piece in a dead man's pocket. A daughter who was already on the road before anyone called her.
Three things that don't fit. One mystery she can't walk away from.
Then there is DI Cal Trevorrow - local, guarded, and professionally unimpressed by civilians who conduct their own investigations in his village. He is exactly the kind of infuriating that Evie recognises as dangerous. She ignores this completely.
As Evie talks to the people who loved Arthur, she uncovers a secret that Thornhaven has been keeping for thirty years - one that someone was prepared to kill to protect.
► Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Ann Cleeves, and Lucy Foley.
► Warm, atmospheric, and absolutely unputdownable - The Tide Knows All is the first book in the Thornhaven Mystery series, featuring sharp-eyed Evie Marsh and the secrets of a Cornish village that never forgets.
► Scroll up and grab your copy. The tide is already turning.
