The country house murder, a staple of the detective writer’s handbook, no intriguing mind can resist, it seems setting at least one novel within the confines of the manor house and amongst the beating hearts of the rich and self-made and those that are required to serve them, are de rigueur for the armchair fans to tease out the insight to what makes the two classes mix with each other, despise one another, and ultimately it could be argued, protect one another when the time comes to draw forces against the police.

A nation apart but attached to England by the narrowest of land borders, a distinctive people who have been ravaged by plunderers and prospectors, who up until only recently have been told that their heritage and language was barren, extinct and their people mocked for their accent, their willingness to not join in the race that has splintered other communities in the name of gentrification. Cornwall may be an English county but it is to be argued that it is own country and woe betide the incomer who tries to take away their language, their song.
