Blog Tour Review, A Death at Neptune Cove

The victim is Arthur Ajax, a handsome and wealthy American businessman who arrived in the Isles of Scilly as a tourist ten months ago and never left. There have been rumors about him in town, as he was known for his extravagant lifestyle. Perhaps he’d gone overboard, or could his death be connected to an unpaid debt?

Later that same evening, Jem stumbles across a hoard of buried jewelry, dug up from the dunes by little dog Buck, and she immediately wonders if they could be connected to the rich man’s murder. It’s not every day you find expensive—and very real-looking—sapphire earrings stashed away in an antique biscuit tin!

Jem seeks help from a local jewelry expert to identify the gems. But when he suddenly goes missing, Jem knows someone is trying to cover their tracks. Can she catch the killer before he makes her walk the plank too?

A completely gripping cozy page-turner set in the beautiful Isles of Scilly, from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Emma Jameson. Fans of M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin and Agatha Christie will be hooked by A Death at Neptune Cove.

This is yet another series I am starting in the middle, but rest assured I had no trouble following it.  You would think I would learn, wouldn’t you?  But I must say this one has the most unique murder weapon I’ve read about, a frozen loaf of bread.  What?  LOL

I love books with idyllic settings that are an integral part of the book.  I now really want to visit the Isles of Scilly.  There is a librarian who is an amateur sleuth working on solving two crimes a death and some buried jewels.  Could they be connected?  There are a slew of suspects.  I loved the cast of characters and that the book moved along quickly.

I am always a little worried I’ll spoil something for someone, so I’ll stay light on the details, but it was fun and kept me engaged.  I think I need to look up the previous books and catch up before the next one is released.
