THE HARBOUR LIGHTS MYSTERY Shell House Detectives, Book 2

Merriment turns to misgiving when a corpse transforms Christmas cheer into a season of speculation. Kate Rawson deftly narrates this atmospheric addition to the Shell House Detectives series. The spotlight is on all the residents of Mousehole when JP Sharpe, an unpopular chef, is found dead in a dingy. Rawson blends congeniality and solemnity in her portrayal of the town's endearing characters, especially Detective Ally Bright, who is trying to move on after the death of her spouse, and former policeman Jayden Weston. Whispering adds a menacing edge to a story that keeps listeners wondering who the murderer is. With its Cornwall setting, this is an especially delightful listen for Anglophiles who love holiday mysteries. M.F. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2023]
