Our detective takes his fiancée for a Cornwall vacation and bumps headlong into a murder. Of course he must join the investigation. There is some nice Cornish ambiance, but it just doesn't get going very fast. Then it takes fifty pages to explain the denouement. Unless you have a hunger for smuggler's caves, poisonous fish, and overwrought endings, I would give it a pass.
