The recently-released An Endless Cornish Summer by Phillipa Ashley, picked up a lovely review in an edition of last week's The Sun:
"It's a feel-good read for the summer."

And finally, the cover for Death at the Old Asylum, the long-awaited next installment of Adrian Magson's Inspector Lucas Rocco series, was revealed last week. To read more, scroll down...
Picardie, 1964. On a deserted country road, three Moroccan nationals are shot dead with precision, a cold-blooded execution, one bullet each. To Inspector Lucas Rocco, it's a mystery. Why them and why here?
A short time later, he happens upon two police officers who have been assaulted by an enraged motorist, one of them seriously. The unapologetic assailant, found to have an unregistered gun in his possession, claims to be the secretary of a high-profile and influential Parisian lawyer, Guy De Lancourt.
The two cases seemingly have nothing in common. But on closer examination Rocco feels something isn't quite right. Just what lies beneath De Lancourt's carefully-cultivated public persona? And what secrets are hidden at Les Cyprès, the heavily-guarded former mental asylum De Lancourt has made his home?
