Shortly after Jem arrives back in town, island busybody and notorious grump Edith Reddy is found dead, with duct tape clamped over her mouth and nose. Jem, caught seemingly red-handed at the scene of the crime, mistakenly becomes the police's number one suspect. The handsome Sergeant Hackman in particular can't seem to leave Jem alone

      A Death at Seascape House
    • Librarian Jemima Jago is enjoying a peaceful summer in the Isles of Scilly - until a puzzling crime comes in with the tide... Between her work in Cornwall's oldest library and catching up with old friends over tea and chocolate biscuits, Jemima Jago is spending the season the only way she knows how: sunbathing, swimming and sailing. But her postcard-perfect summer is turned upside down when the body of well-to-do businessman Hermie Castleberry is found on the sweeping white sands at the foot of Candlewick Castle. Jem doesn't mean to get involved, but when her old flame Rhys Tremayne is arrested for murder, she springs into action to prove his innocence. With her gift for uncovering hard-to-find information, Jem discovers Hermie had been keeping secrets and ruffling a few feathers in the ordinarily tranquil islands. Did the quiet wife, the belittled business partner or the slimy salesman want Hermie out of the way? The discovery of a pair of silver gloves by little dog Buck could be just the clue Jem needs to crack the case. But can she catch the real culprit, and keep her heart in check, before the killer sends her down to Davy Jones' locker too? A totally charming cozy mystery from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Emma Jameson. Fans of M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin and Agatha Christie will adore A Death at Candlewick Castle.

      A Death at Candlewick Castle
    • Anthony Hetheridge, der neunte Baron von Wellegrave und Chief Superintendent bei New Scotland Yard, ist unverheiratet, hat keine Kinder, keine Haustiere, keine Hobbys und noch nicht einmal ein interessantes Laster vorzuweisen. In drei Wochen wird er sechzig. Mit Ausnahme der beruflichen Laufbahn, die er eingeschlagen hat und die seiner vornehmen Familie nicht standesgemäß genug ist, ist sein Leben sicher und vorhersehbar. Aber dann begegnet er Detective Sergeant Kate Wakefield – schön, eigensinnig und gerade mal halb so alt wie er. Als Hetheridge die ungestüme junge Frau, die kein Blatt vor den Mund nimmt, davor bewahrt, entlassen zu werden und sich mit ihr gemeinsam gegen die strikt männliche Hierarchie bei Scotland Yard auflehnt, gerät seine kühle, wohl geordnete Welt außer Kontrolle. Als in dem vornehmen Londoner Stadtteil Belgravia ein Finanzier brutal ermordet wird, muss Hetheridge nicht nur den Täter fassen, sondern sich auch mit seiner wachsenden Zuneigung zu Kate, dem Wiederauftauchen einer alten Flamme und einem Geheimnis aus seiner eigenen Vergangenheit herumschlagen.
