A Death at Seascape House

A Totally Gripping British Cozy Mystery Novel (A Jemima Jago Mystery, Book 1)

De: Emma Jameson

Narrado por: Tamsin Kennard

Meet Jemima Jago: librarian, keen sailor, dedicated tea drinker…super sleuth?

Jemima Jago has moved back home to the enchanting Isles of Scilly. Ready for a fresh start in a quaint coastal village, she can be found in the stacks of Cornwall’s oldest library by day and stargazing in the cove at night. Jem finds the slower pace of life suits her perfectly, until she stumbles across a very curious crime.....

On a hunt for a stolen book, Jem instead finds busybody and notorious gossip Edith Reddy dead in her crumbling clifftop cottage. Maybe the island isn’t as peaceful as she thought! But worse is to come when bumbling Sergeant Anderson decides that, as the first person on the scene, Jem must have been up to no good.

Ever resourceful and endlessly daring, Jem launches her own investigation, determined to clear her name. She soon realizes that many of the island’s eccentric residents had reasons to want Edith out of the way. Did Declan, the weary waiter, finally kill off his most difficult customer? Did Bart, the fishy ferryman, want to rid the island of its grouchiest resident? Or was it Lissa, the friend turned foe, who got rid of Edith?

When Jem discovers a years’ overdue library book hidden in a drawer at Edith’s home, she’s sure she’s on the right track. But can she set the record straight before the book is closed on her too?

A gripping and fun cozy mystery from the New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Emma Jameson. Brimming with intrigue and warm wit, fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin, and Betty Rowlands will love A Death at Seascape House.

Brilliant highly recommend

The narrator did a great job the characters the writer wrote about were well written enjoyed this but completely.
highly recommend

Smart and cozy

I’ve had difficulty finding cozy mysteries that are well written. This was a great first book. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Just Right!

This book was just the right mix of story, suspense and humor, no profanity.

Good book to listen too

I enjoyed the story, it does move a bit slow, but the intrigue is quite smart.
I quite highly recommend-

Very mediocre

Wasn’t bad but also wasn’t very good. A lot of characters, who aren’t likable and nor do they seem like people you want to meet, with names to remember… first part of the book has absolutely nothing to do the the lady part!
You might want to skip this one!

Great new series

This is my introduction to Emma Jameson Mysteries. I found in enjoyable and intriguing from start to finish. Interesting real characters and setting to be returning home to and solving a murders.

Tamsin Kennard narration made it possible to get lost in the story and acknowledge the characters.

I will be purchasing book 2 (and hopefully more as they appear.)

Really good mystery book

I love a good mystery but seldom have the time to indulge. I wound up in the hospital with an infection and pneumonia and after a day or two of boredom I realized I finally had the time now. I’m really glad I landed on this one as it held my interest and I thoroughly enjoyed trying to figure out who the guilty party was. A great way to pass the time and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good mystery!

Good Story

I enjoyed this book. It's a fun murder mystery. The characters are well developed. Good read

Enjoyed

A nice little mystery read that doesn’t have profanity in it. I enjoyed listening to this book.

very good

Beautifully written. You can see the island and surroundings as you listen.

The mystery moves along well and wraps up nicely. There's a lot of personal drama going on as well. I don't usually care for that, but it blends into the mystery and also wraps up, so all good. 🙂

The narration is excellent.
