Wycliffe and the Dunes Mystery

Wycliffe and the Dunes Mystery (1993) is a crime novel by Cornish writer W. J. Burley.[1]

Synopsis

Fifteen years ago, Cochran Wilder supposedly vanished during a walking holiday in Cornwall just after being released from a psychiatric hospital, where he was incarcerated after successfully pleading insanity for an indecent assault charge. His father, a prominent member of parliament, regards his son as a horrible embarrassment, and is in for more professional strife when Cochran's murdered body is found buried deep inside a sand dune.

Wycliffe suspects one (or possibly even all) of six figureheads in the local community, who had been spending an illicit weekend at a Chalet near the scene of Cohran's grisly end. When a series of threatening communications begin circulating and a second murder is committed, the sleuth finds himself caught up in a deadly race against time...

gollark: I have learned by now that the bare minimum is not very good, having bought somewhat less RAM for my laptop than I should even though the price difference wasn't big and generated untold annoyance over time, but iPhones are quite far into diminishing returns territory.
gollark: I guess it depends on what you're comparing against pricewise.
gollark: iPhones are quite expensive, so if you value your time at $50/hour (this might be low, I'm not really sure), it would probably take a few years for the iPhone to pay off, but it could actually come out in favour if it does in fact save that much time.
gollark: I don't get anything like that on my *£120* Android phone from recently, except in Discord, in which the keyboard is occasionally ridiculously laggy due to what I assume is bad design on their end.
gollark: (very fermi estimation, but it's probably not THAT many orders of magnitude out)
