MURDER ON THE BEACH

Author: Philip Drury

Linda Stevenson moves to Cornwall, in a little village called Penmarron. She used to live in London, so she finds Cornwall a little boring!, until her adventure starts…

She finds a body on the beach but when the police goes to have a look to the beach, they don´t find the body, so they don´t believe her.

Then, she meets a boy called Mark. They both decide to investigate the murder by themselves. They find some clues that help them: some rubbish bags. Then, they see a man moving across the cliff top. The bags contained the dead body of a small dog, lots of documents (all of those with the same signature),diaries… It looked that it belonged to the same person.

After a few weeks they suspected of the Carlsbrook mansion. They got a great opportunity when a film crew went there to film inside the mansion. There, they found evidence for the crime: a red curly wig, dark glasses and a white sweater that was Julia´s costume (the owner of the house together with her sister) of her death sister.

Finally they got enough evidences to tell everything to the police who finally believed them.
