The Old Bakehouse

There is much idle chatter in the seaside village of Pentrillick, for word has broken that Joseph Percival Williams, the village's erstwhile baker and oldest inhabitant, is dead. When sexagenarian twin sisters Lottie and Hetty hear the news, Lottie's first though is that, should it be sold, the Old Bakehouse might be a suitable home for her son, Bill, and his family currently living up-country. Over the ensuing weeks, details of the old baker's will are brought to light and inevitably several people arrive in the village hopeful of receiving a share of his legacy, but no-one foresees the dark secrets that will come to light as the history of his life is exposed. 'The Old Bakehouse' is a light-hearted mystery and the fifth book in the Pentrillick Cornish Mystery Series set on the south coast of West Cornwall.
