A Crushing Walk in Cornwall (A Walk Through England Mystery, Book 3) by Nicholas George

Description

The Cornish coast is breathtaking—windswept cliffs, ancient paths, and views that make you feel deliciously small.

It’s also, apparently… trying to kill you.

Retired San Diego detective Rick “Chase” Chasen signed up for a week-long walking tour expecting scenic bliss and maybe a decent pub lunch or two. Instead, he gets rumors of sabotaged trails, suspicious fellow travelers, and a distinctly uneasy feeling that this trip may come with a body count.

His partner Mike isn’t along this time—long-distance relationships, like long-distance walks, sometimes need a pause—but Chase isn’t alone. His friend Billie is by his side, along with a colorful group of Americans whose stories don’t quite add up.

And then there’s Ivy.

Twelve years old, endlessly chatty, and armed with alarming amounts of internet research, Ivy is convinced something is off. Very off. As accidents pile up—from a terrifying bridge incident to a near-fatal fall at a centuries-old castle—her warnings grow harder to ignore.

When a suspicious death turns the scenic hike into an active crime scene, Chase realizes this isn’t just bad luck or local mischief.

There’s a killer on the trail.

With cliffs on one side, secrets on the other, and nowhere to run, Chase must untangle truth from gossip before the next “accident” becomes something far more permanent.

A Crushing Walk in Cornwall is a clever, atmospheric mystery with a queer lead, sharp humor, and just enough danger to keep every step interesting. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries—with a slightly sharper edge.
