When no one else seems to care, why should you?

That’s the question Joe asks himself while the Sanford 3rd Age Club are whooping it at Gittings Holiday Park in sunny yet chilly Cornwall.

Sheila is absent, and Joe and Brenda are sharing a caravan (but that’s all they’re sharing). The general manager is attracted to him, the park comedian is not funny – and the star sensation is a young singer who can’t sing.

And to add to Joe’s woes, when a body turns up on the beach, he finds the local police inspector abrasive and suspicious.

Major thefts of electronic equipment, a complicated murder with a range of suspects and a Joe almost at the end of his tether as he tries to crack… A Cornish Killing.
