After many years working around the world for an international charity in the late 1960s, Eleanor Trewynn has retired to the relative quiet of a small town in Cornwall. But her quiet life is short-lived when, due to her experience, the Commonwealth Relations Office reaches out to her to assist in a secret conference that is to take place in a small hotel outside the historical village of Tintagel.

Meanwhile, her niece, Detective Sergeant Megan Pencarrow, is investigating the disappearance of a local solicitor when she is assigned to help provide security for the conference. Two African students, refugees from Ian Smith's Rhodesia, arrive for the conference, escorted by Megan's bête noire from Scotland Yard. They are followed by two mysterious and sinister Londoners, whose allegiances and connections to the conference and the missing solicitor are unclear. With a raging storm having trapped everyone in the hotel, the stage is set for murder, and it's up to Eleanor and Megan to uncover the truth before more lives are lost.

      The fourth book in Dunn's Cornish Mystery series is narrated by AudioFile Golden Voice Wanda McCaddon. McCaddon's mature timbre is a perfect match for Eleanor Trewynn, a retired world traveler who finds herself assisting her niece, Detective Sergeant Megan Pencarrow, in a slow chase through the Cornish countryside to apprehend a couple of thugs. McCaddon is a master at delivering the multiple accents of the diverse characters--from London hooligans to African college students. McCaddon delivers the perfect leisurely paced cozy, in which the Cornish countryside plays a major part. There's even a cute dog. E.Q. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

      At the start of Dunn’s atmospheric fourth Cornish mystery set in the 1960s (after 2012’s Valley of the Shadow), Sir Edward Bellowe of the Commonwealth Relations Office invites retired widow Eleanor Trewynn to a hush-hush meeting in Tintagel to help reconcile two students, who represent opposing political factions in Rhodesia. A lifetime of traveling the world for an international charity has given Eleanor formidable diplomatic skills. Eleanor’s police officer niece, Det. Insp. Megan Pencarrow, is annoyed at being called off a missing-persons case to provide security for the meeting, until she spots two shady characters at the hotel where the meeting is taking place. As the story unfolds, connections come to light among the suspicious miscreants, the missing person, the diplomatic mission, and a murder in a nearby village. Eleanor’s travels have made her unusually open-minded for her time. The rewards of this entertaining cozy include characters with depth, an interesting bit of history, and an exciting chase through the moors. Agent: Alice Volpe, Northwest Literary.
