The Old Coaching Inn Daphne Neville

For forty years, The Old Coaching Inn had stood empty and neglected. Battered by winter storms, a silent testament to a bygone era. Nearly all former innkeepers and clientele were long forgotten and the Inn's future looked bleak. And then its owner died and the Inn was sold. The purchaser was Charlie Everton, a widower who saw the Inn as a potential home and the means of beginning a new chapter in his life. Renovation work went smoothly and Charlie was looking forward to his first Christmas in Cornwall... until he found one of the locals from the neighbouring village, stone-dead. But the death was not a straight-forward case, for it posed more questions than answers, and as time went by, Charlie felt that he and the Inn were in some way part of the puzzle. The Old Coaching Inn is a gentle, light-hearted, stand-alone cosy mystery set on the south coast of Cornwall.
