About this listen

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.

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.

Smart and cozy

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

Just Right!

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

Good book to listen too

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!

Very mediocre

Interesting to learn about Penzance and islands

Always love your work. Waiting for your next release is torture. Tamsin Kennard is great, knows how to distinguish each character.
Thanks, I hope you enjoy writing your books as much as I enjoy reading them/listening to them.

Great

I loved this book and can’t wait to see what’s next. Both the writing and narration were perfect. I can usually figure out who the killer is in the first half of a mystery. Not this one. It kept me guessing all the way to end. Well done!

Fantastic

How could you go wrong? There's a specialty librarian with a past, a murder of a hated resident, and the beautiful Isles of Scilly! While it starts out rather oddly, it develops strongly, and the characters really make the story. The plot twists, turns, and does a bit of retrospection as the sleuthing progresses and Jem looks to be a great sleuth to follow in this new series from a beloved author.
Tamsin Kennard is a fun voice actress who really adds good things to the story/characters.

Good read!

Well I seemed to have said it all in the title ha ha … fun cozy mystery , not remarkable but located in Isles of Scilly so you get a great location and a back story of tragedy and adult redemption … liked all the characters . Light mystery fun .

Fun great narrator good tension likable characters
