Just Before Dawn

by Debby Fowler

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 skillfully 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.

[Sam Simpson]

Thoroughly enjoyable series

I read no. 5 first, found it in a drawer in a house we stayed at in Carbis Bay, read it and then had to get the rest. I think you could say they’re page turners as it’s only taken me 25 days to read all 8 books.

Excellent

These books have had me engrossed for the past few days. I have enjoyed getting to know the characters.
I'm sad that I've read number 8.

[Sue Sargent]

Set in Cornwall. Lots of typos. Not very good writing

[Agatha The Battleaxe]

8th in the series of mysteries set in and around St Ives, Cornwall

[Fiona]

As with the last seven this is an easy read with just enough intrigue to keep you interested. I do, however, think it was concluded too quickly.
