‘I’m beyond excited to continue publishing Shalini Boland’s incredible books. The last few years have been a fantastic partnership between Shalini and Bookouture. Her publishing continues to go from strength to strength and we can’t wait to share more of her completely addictive and pulse-racing stories with her fans. These books are not to be missed!’

This new Cornish cozy crime series combines all of this with a fantastic central character in Kate Palmer and very satisfying who-dunnit storylines! Perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands, Faith Martin and Agatha Christie.’
