A Colourful Death in Large Print

09/21/2010

A COLOURFUL DEATH is now out in large print in the US and UK.

This looks like a real Cornish village. Just like Port Mabyn, in fact!

Cornish village?

In my peregrinations up and down the West Coast, talking about and signing A Colourful Death, a number of people have commented on the charming picture of a Cornish village on the cover. I have to tell them it looks nothing like any Cornish village I've ever seen. Most of the building appear to be built of brick, a material seldom used in Cornwall, with its wealth of granite and slate. As you can see in this pic of Boscastle, natural stone, sometimes whitewashed, is the building material of choice.

Assuming the cover art is intended to represent one of Nick's slashed paintings, I have to conclude he must have been visiting another part of the country--Dorset perhaps--when he painted it!

An "ope" (foot-passage) in Port Isaac.

Who knew Yahoo had a book review site? Kind of quirky but nice review here:
<http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/none/amp-quot-a-colourful-death-amp-quot-by-carola-dunn-book-review-1697662/>

Seattle Mystery Bookstore signing Noon on Friday 18th, followed by Bethel Avenue Books in Port Orchard at about 5 pm, depending on the ferry.

Daisy books still in Hatchard's window--I know it's "still," not a pic of the same view, because they're in a different position, bottom row and next to lowest. (Thanks to Libi Astaire for the photo)

Library Journal review

05/02/2010

Returning from a successful business trip to London, artist Nick Gresham finds his paintings have been destroyed in his studio. When the culprit is murdered, Nick is the prime suspect, and amateur sleuth Eleanor Trewynn swings into action. VERDICT Dunn's second cozy set in 1960s Cornwall (after "Manna from Hades") is a delightful romp, full of busybodies, unscrupulous artists, and a charming Westie with character.
