The Loveday Mysteries Books 1-3
(2017)(A book in the Loveday Mysteries Omnibus series)
An omnibus of novels by Rena George
3 exciting page-turning murder mysteries set in Poldark country against the atmospheric background of Cornwall where tales of smuggling and adventure still abound ...
MEET LOVEDAY ROSS
Former Scottish journalist, now editor of a popular Cornish magazine. People confide in her, but her sense of justice frequently puts her in harm's way, and puts her at odds with the investigations of her partner, handsome Detective Inspector Sam Kitto. Follow Loveday and her friends as they find themselves in the throes of one adventure after another.
>>> A CORNISH REVENGE #1
A bleak Cornish clifftop strewn with the derelict remains of old tin mines.
It seems to magazine editor, Loveday Ross, an odd place for an art class, but then her artist friend, Lawrence Kemp, had been acting strangely recently.
As her camera clicks, taking pictures for the article she's planning, a grim sight emerges from the receding tide far below.
It's the body of a man!
He's been tied hand and foot into the shingle cove - deliberately left to drown!
But why has the discovery made Lawrence so edgy?
And why are his students, Kit Armitage and Abbie Grainger, so affected by the killing?
Detective Inspector Sam Kitto doesn't appreciate finding a journalist at the murder scene, and Loveday isn't happy being a suspect.
<<< A CORNISH KIDNAPPING #2 (A long short story)
Believing that the remote Black Swan Inn, with it's idyllic waterside location, could provide a romantic feature for her Cornish magazine, editor Loveday Ross, accepts an invitation to go along and interview Marika Sweet, the woman who claims to be its owner.
But the inn is not the idyllic creak-side hostelry Loveday had imagined.
It's a dirty, derelict, boarded up building.
And there's no sign of Marika, only a kindly old lady, Millicent Sproat, who reveals the inn is now in the hands of notorious local criminals, the Clemo brothers.
Not even a painful crack on the head when she goes snooping inside the shuttered inn can deter Loveday's insatiable journalistic curiosity.
Her policeman boyfriend, Detective Inspector Sam Kitto, warns her to leave the unsavoury brothers for the police to deal with. But that's not Loveday's way.
Then there's a murder ... and more people start getting hurt.
Could the Clemos' old sailing ship, the Arabella, provide the key to solving the mystery?
>>> A CORNISH VENGEANCE #3 (A long short story)
The body of wealthy Cornish boat-builder, Silas Venning, is found hanged in a remote wood. Gossip about how he met his demise is rife amongst the county's party set.
His widow, celebrated artist, Laura Anstey, is convinced it's murder and enlists the help of magazine editor, Loveday Ross, to help her prove it.
Then Loveday's policeman boyfriend, Detective Inspector, Sam Kitto, confirms
foul play. The post mortem shows that someone with medical knowledge rendered Silas unconscious before he was strung up.
Suspicion falls on Laura's friend, the beautiful young doctor Meredith Deering.
Is it gossip? Or had she really been having an affair with Silas?
But when Loveday's best friend, Cassie Trevillick, gets attacked, the stakes get personal.
