On a casual walk along the Cornish Coast, Pineapple “Motts” Mottley stumbles upon a body and a perilous new murder case in the second novel in the Motts Cold Case Mystery series. 

As spring rolls into summer, Motts settles into her cottage. She’s enjoying a daily stroll when a body in the sea destroys her peace and quiet. It brings yet another mystery for her to solve. 

How does a woman who vanished from Polperro three years prior wind up battered by waves? 

Motts is drawn into the investigation despite her best attempts. She finds a family in turmoil and loads of suspects. With no easy answers, she tumbles further into chaos and ever closer to danger. 

Can Motts find the killer before she’s the one put on ice? 

Will she survive a bone-chilling brush with death?



Who shows up at Motts' backyard gate when she is gardening with Cactus and Moss wandering the yard? What does Cactus do that prompts Motts to invite this stranger into her home? Why is that a huge deal for her? What happens when they walk to the Lighthouse? What does he say to her that convinces her to do so? What does Perry do for a living and why is Teo acting all cavemanish? Who are Jasper, Mikey, Ashby, and Callie? What role does each have to play in the adventure or investigation that Motts finds herself involved in? Who is the first body? Who was behind it? Who dumps the second body? Why? What do we learn? What happens with Motts between the discoveries? What happens with Teo? That made me a little sad for Motts but it is understandable as I work with people like Motts and she is accurately portrayed from those I've known. Read and see who dun it!
