[Melissa Craig 03] • Murder on the Clifftops

**French cheese, fine wine and… a mystifying murder?**

A delightful afternoon stroll turns to disaster when the guests of an artists’ retreat in the French mountains spot the body of a man at the bottom of a cliff.

Amongst them is **Melissa Craig** who, binoculars at the ready, suddenly finds herself at the centre of a very puzzling mystery. **Was it an accident, or was he pushed?**

Her suspicions are confirmed when another body is found days later in almost exactly the same spot. It can’t be a coincidence; someone in this idyllic French village is up to no good, and it’s up to her to find out who.

Between the eccentric locals and mischievous guests, Melissa finds herself with no shortage of potential suspects: was it the surly handyman with a dark past, or perhaps the short-sighted widow with an excellent golf swing? But the real question is: **how close to the edge will Melissa have to tread to find the culprit…?**

**An absolutely unputdownable murder mystery you’ll read in one sitting. Perfect for anyone who loves** **Agatha Christie, P.D. James or Faith Martin.**
