About the book
The luxurious seaside resort of Smalting rarely experiences crime. However, when human remains are discovered under the floorboards of a beach hut, suspicion and fear spread throughout the community.
Amateur detectives Carole Seddon and her best friend Jude find themselves intrigued by the mystery. Their attention focuses on Philly Rose, a beautiful young woman from London who recently arrived in Smalting and whose boyfriend mysteriously disappeared. Meanwhile, Kelvin Southwest, the self-proclaimed charmer and caretaker of the beach huts, appears to be hiding a dark secret. At the same time, Reginald Flowers, the arrogant President of the Smalting Beach Hut Association, becomes defensive about his own past.
As the identity of the bones is revealed, old wounds are reopened and buried secrets come to light. Bones Under the Beach Hut is a cleverly crafted mystery by a talented English crime writer, filled with captivating characters and surprising plot twists.
