Miss Dimont mystery

In the seaside town of Temple Regis, the body of political candidate Odile Clifford is discovered on the balcony of the lighthouse. Fearless Riviera Express reporter Judy Dimont goes in search of the killer - but who is it? And where will they strike next? What’s more, Judy’s position as chief reporter is under threat when her editor takes on hot-shot journalist David Renishaw, whose work is just too good to be true. Can Judy solve the mystery - and protect her position as Temple Regis’ best reporter - before the murderer strikes again?

A beautiful beach in Devon is turned into a crime scene when an unidentifiable body is found there. For Miss Dimont this is a case of paramount interest, and the perfect introduction for her young new recruit Valentine. Even if their meddling is to the immense irritation of Inspector Topham. But nobody can identify the body, and why does Topham suspect murder? And when a second death occurs, can the two possibly be connected?

Gerald Hennessey, the famous silver screen star, never quite makes it to Temple Regis; the quaint Devonshire seaside town on the English Riviera. Murdered on the 4.30 from Paddington, his loss intrigues Miss Judy Dimont – a reporter for The Riviera Express. Why was a man like Gerald coming to Temple Regis anyway? And what is the connection between him and a second death?
