A quiet Cornish village. A widow's lifeless body. And secrets that refuse to stay buried.
When the body of a well-known widow is discovered in the woods behind her seaside cottage, the village of Greystone-on-Sea reels in shock. Most assume it was an unfortunate accident-until twenty-six-year-old Georgina Hicks, daughter of the village doctor and part-time historian, suspects foul play. As whispers echo through the cobbled lanes, Georgina begins to unearth more than just gossip. The widow's reclusive son, a devoted carer with secrets of her own, and an early riser who claims to have found the body-all have something to hide. With the local constable out of his depth and tensions rising in the village, Georgina sets out to uncover the truth. But the deeper she digs, the more tangled the web becomes-and someone is desperate to keep the past buried... no matter the cost. The Widow's Last Walk is the first chilling mystery in the Georgina Hicks Mystery Series, perfect for fans of historical detective fiction, strong female sleuths, and gothic suspense set against the misty Cornish coast.
