Jayden Weston is an ex-cop suffering survivor's guilt from the death of his partner, recently moved to Cornwall to live near the in-laws as he and his wife learn how to live now that they have their first baby. Together Ally and Jayden begin working as the Shell House Detectives once again and delve into the mystery of a note in the pocket of a murdered man known in the village. They find out many things, not all of them pleasant or for town consumption. The characters are so clearly portrayed that I felt as if I had known them for years. The investigation is filled with red herrings and a few unexpected twists. I liked this one just as much as the first. I requested and received an EARC from Thomas & Mercer via NetGalley. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Atmospheric, suspenseful... A series to be devoured!"--Lucy Clarke As The Shell House Detectives try to solve a family mystery, their investigation runs dangerously close to a murder case. Are the two linked? It's December in Cornwall, and Mousehole harbour is illuminated with its famous Christmas lights. Ally Bright is among the crowd listening to the carol singers--and then to the piercing screams that rip through the darkness. A body has been found, brutally murdered and dumped in a fisherman's boat. The victim is chef JP Sharpe and there is no shortage of people who might have wanted him dead. Eager for a new case for The Shell House Detectives, Ally calls ex-cop Jayden, but he's keen to leave it to the police--until a letter in Sharpe's pocket draws them into a seemingly unconnected family mystery. As they take on this highly charged mission, the duo can't help scrutinising the murder suspects. Who among the close-knit community has reason to kill, and how far will they go to protect themselves? As fear spreads, Ally and Jayden need answers--fast. Could the letter offer a clue to the murder case or will it reveal a terrible truth? And when a new witness comes to light, Jayden closes in on a desperate killer...but can he warn Ally in time?

The joyful sights and sounds of Mousehole Harbour on the Cornish coast delight everyone enjoying a night during the Christmas holiday season. They are interrupted by screams that vibrate and penetrate the senses of all who hear them, including Ally and her neighbor Gus Munro. What involvement will the Shell House Detectives have in this case?
The mystery is well-written with interlocking pieces that are more intricate than the speculation of the investigation first suggests, even with the awareness that the victim was well-known but not well-loved by the community. Ally and Jayden's differences in ages naturally have different perspectives from their life experiences, and it is thoughtfully portrayed through their thoughts on their personal lives and approaches when working on a case.
I look forward to the continuation of the series.
Reviewer's Note: I discovered Book 1 on NetGalley and loved the characters, so I was delighted that a series was planned. Each novel may be read as a stand-alone. Still, I recommend reading the books in series order to fully appreciate the characters as they evolve in life's decisions and adventures. ( )
