Peter Kingsmill

Sunset at 20 Peter Kingsmill

Frank Anderson fixes stuff. He can fix porch swings for the ladies and boat motors for the guys, any day and all day. But can he fix the fear in the eyes of a pretty woman? Anderson hadn't even met Marjorie Webster before she turned up on his doorstep that evening to say she has run into a body out on Awan Lake. Helping the police recover the corpse the next day leads both of them into a fourteen-day search for answers. As the lake becomes the centre of a web of conflict, environmental activists, international criminals and murder, the answers lead to more problems. If Anderson doesn't step up to help fix them, the small town and the people who have embraced him might never recover.

Sunset at 20:47 is the first novel in the author's Awan Lake series: "In this, his first novel, Peter Kingsmill develops an intimate portrait of, apparently, a fictional lakeside village," comments a Goodreads reviewer. "Awan Lake is as real to me now as any of my own favourite places, and he's inhabited it with characters just as compelling."
