Anna Greenwood had never been to Cornwall, yet she'd had a strong desire to visit the county for as long as she could remember. As her twenty-third birthday was drawing near, she decided to satisfy that yearning by booking a fortnight's holiday. After searching the internet, she finally chose to stay at The Old Tile House in Penzance, for no other reason than she was fascinated by an old picture of the building and in particular its three tall chimneys. Her holiday began well. The weather was kind, she made friends and enjoyed the sights, but then new guests arrived at The Old Tile House and things changed in a most peculiar way. The Old Tile House is a standalone novella of 43,000 words and an introduction to Pentrillick, a village situated on the south coast of Cornwall which will feature in a new series of mystery books.
