Just Before Dawn

Ex-Chief Inspector Keith Penrose is now retired and not entirely sure he is enjoying his new-found freedom.  Felicity Paradise meanwhile is pursuing her illustration work and delighted to land a well-paid contract.  At the same time she has demons of her own to confront when she is forced to face the truth about her mother's past.  Keith is called in by his old boss George Staple to investigate a cold case; a possible murder six years before.  Felicity is delighted for him, but the new case means they are not only separated by distance but by a growing lack of emotional understanding.  Tensions run high.


As always Debby Fowler skilfully balances the personal life of her characters with a well thought-through crime story.


The eighth title in the Felicity Paradise crime series 'Just Before Dawn' is set in Cornwall.
