s some fishy business happening in the idyllic Cornish village of Mousehole. As a killer begins to make waves, can these new amateur detectives solve the mystery?
Maggie Tyson loves living in the utterly charming village, Mousehole. She spends her days walking the local coastal paths, solving the latest crossword puzzle, and working in the small town's only fish and chip shop.
When a body is found by the harbour, shock ripples through the village. And as Ryan was the last person seen talking to the victim, he becomes the number one suspect in the investigation.
Maggie is certain that her new colleague had nothing to do with the murder, so swaps her apron for a magnifying glass, and starts to investigate herself.
Can Maggie prove Ryan's innocence and reel in the killer, before they strike again?
The Setting
Mousehole is a picturesque fishing village in Cornwall, known for its scenic harbour, winding streets, and tiny sandy beach. It's also home to Robbins' Fish and Chip Shop, the only chippy in town. Tourists and locals alike enjoy a battered cod whilst admiring the calm waterfront. Mr Robbins, the owner, is notoriously private - no one knows much about him. Perhaps that's another mystery for our Fish and Chip Shop Detectives to solve...
Review:
Ryan ends up stranded in Mousehole when his girlfriend suddenly jets off to Portugal and her parents wont let him stay in their extra apartment. Wandering the harbor, he meets Maggie, who literally takes him in and gets him a temporary job with her at the Fish Shop, and then a place to stay in the empty studio above the shop. When Ryan goes out for a night of fun, he ends up being the last person to see the bride to be alive. Soon he's the prime suspect and Maggie pulls out her detecting notebook and sets off to solve the crime and get him off the suspect list. But things don't quite go the way they should, and it's a good thing her old friend is back on the force and willing to help save the day. A good start to a new series, I'll be looking forward to more books in this series!
