One seaside town, one baffling death, countless cups of tea.

One seaside town, one baffling death, countless cups of tea.

When a local man is found dead, zipped in a sleeping bag and surrounded by tins of beans, the peace of Gurning Bay crumbles faster than a stick of rock.

The seaside town of Gurning Bay should be winding down for the winter – but instead, Sergeant Arthur Pounder and his enthusiastic son Elvis are knee-deep in chaos. Between nosy landladies, bungling suspects, and a reporter chasing headlines, the pair must untangle a baffling mystery with more twists and turns than the Teacups on the pier.

As gossip spreads and tempers fray, one thing’s for certain: in Gurning Bay, nothing stays quiet for long.

A laugh-out-loud cosy crime mystery bursting with seaside charm, eccentric characters, and old-fashioned British humour. Perfect for fans of gentle whodunnits with heart.
