The Harbour Lights Mystery (A Shell House Detectives Mystery Book 2)

I actually adored this story; it was excellent! The author has really got the hang of keeping the reader enthralled with all the twists and turns, and the atmosphere and sense of place is terrific. MainCharacters are developing well...much better than in book one, and I can't wait to settle in to book three.Fabulous. Five stars! 🙂

An enjoyable follow up visit to Ally and Jayden. An exploration of relationships and emotional limits. Also of the challenges of parenting.Glorious setting.Full of characters you are invested in.An enjoyable read with some heart stopping moments.

I am loving this new series I’ve stumbled upon. Great characterisation, great plots that keep you guessing till the end and highly likeable main characters. Altogether great escapism and would recommend to anyone who likes a mystery crime novel without the gore.

A good read. Lots of twists and turns.I thought i had guessed who dunnit about three times but i was completly wrong. Nice main characters you can warm to. Looking forward to reaading the next book.

I like this book as it was easy to read and it didn't make my heart race like some crime books. It was easy to put down and pick up. The characters were were easy to like. So would recommend for easy reading.

Very clever story line with several red herrings thrown in for good measure

This was so easy to read although being a serious murder mystery. Beautifully told, lovely gentle characters, so atmospheric you were there on the beach. Highly recommend.

Lovely story, great characters, gripping plot.Couldn't put it down! Hopefully, there are more stories in this series please 🙏

This series is lovely. I thoroughly enjoy all the characters. The “regular” cast are great - Al, Jayden, Mullins, Saffron - but what sets this series apart are the fully formed new characters each book. I so enjoyed Bev & Neil, Wilson, and even poor Phil. It’s a full cast of humanity circling each other during a very difficult time. It gives the whole book heart. Well done.

I liked the 1st book more but this also held my interest. The characters come to life and the mystery keeps you guessing. A little bit of everything. Mystery, love, friendships and of course murder

I loved the rich characters and the setting. Emilia Hall has created believable characters that we care about. I enjoyed the second installment as much as the first. I would love to visit the shell house and spend more time with these characters. This was, in my opinion a good story well told.

This is the second book in the series, bringing back Jayden and Ally and assorted cast members for yet another mystery. Or two. Kudos to the author who brings together a sympathetic cast of characters, not perfect but personable, and let's them loose on a wonderful Cornwall setting. Christmas is fast approaching, in the town of Mousehole the Iights are going on and people are celebrating. Well not everyone, not the dead man who has just been found. So it starts again for our amateur sleuths. If you are looking for an excellent cosy mystery that keeps you guessing try this, but read book 1 first. I hope this series will be around for long time.

Great read, the characters have depth independently from one another and there is multiple facets to the story keeping you on the edge of your seat and turn pages to find what happens next. I can't wait for the next book to come out.
