Paws of Death
In Cornwall, some endings are too neat to be true...
A young woman comes to Cornwall looking for answers. She doesn’t live long enough to find them.
When her death at the Cornwall Inn is quickly explained away, most of the town is ready to accept the quietest version of events. Penelope Penrose isn’t. The woman had been asking questions, making plans, and noticing things someone may have wanted left alone.
With Jory at her side, Pen begins following the loose threads others are willing to overlook. But Cornwall is a town where kindness often softens the truth—and where some secrets have been protected for a very long time.
This time, the danger may not be in what people know.
It may be in what they’ve agreed not to say.
Paws of Death is a cozy mystery filled with small-town charm, quiet secrets, an amateur sleuth who notices what others miss, and a town dog who always seems to know when something isn’t right.
