A Death at Seascape House by Emma Jameson
3.0

A Death at Seascape House was a fun and quick mystery read, featuring librarian Jemima (Jem) Jago. While she's not a detective, her years as a librarian reading many books and learning the ins and outs of mysteries and murderers help her to find clues and sort through the mysterious killings of two people on her home island, St. Morwenna. The setting was fun, the characters were enjoyable, and this was a great first book to set up a series. I liked the friendships developed in this book, and the hints of romance that I'm sure will be further developed in future books. I did find the mystery to be pretty predictable, but it was still enjoyable. 3.5 star rating from me.

Thank you so much for the advanced copy, NetGalley and Bookouture!
