At The End Of The Lake is a murder mystery novel set in the English Lake District. It features Sophie Armstrong, a young woman who is offered a job with a private investigator specialising in missing persons.
Before she can accept the role, the private investigator is found dead at the foot of a sheer cliff. But was he murdered? Sophie is persuaded to investigate his last five cases to unravel the truth. In doing so, she too becomes a target.
A cosy mystery, the action takes place in the English Lake District, with Keswick and Borrowdale featuring, and with a final twist at one of the most iconic sites in Lakeland.
