Amelia Barry, an IT security consultant from London (and yes, she is on the ASD spectrum), arrives at Leah by the Sea, a small seaside town in North Yorkshire to spend 3 weeks with her godmother, whom she hasn’t seen for many years. Amelia needs a break from work, from her ex-boyfriend and from people. But instead, she finds an empty house, a stray cat and … a dead body. Is the victim her godmother? And if not, where is her godmother, why does the police officer speak so strangely and could all those people leave her alone for a moment? Ah, well… and of course, who is the murderer and why did the woman need to die?
This is a clean cozy mystery with no gore, no violence and no swearing; written in British English (and therefore spelling and punctuation). May contain traces of the Yorkshire dialect.
