Publisher's summary

"Atmospheric, suspenseful... A series to be devoured!" —Lucy Clarke

As The Shell House Detectives try to solve a family mystery, their investigation runs dangerously close to a murder case. Are the two linked?

It’s December in Cornwall, and Mousehole harbour is illuminated with its famous Christmas lights. Ally Bright is among the crowd listening to the carol singers—and then to the piercing screams that rip through the darkness. A body has been found, brutally murdered and dumped in a fisherman’s boat.

The victim is chef JP Sharpe and there is no shortage of people who might have wanted him dead. Eager for a new case for The Shell House Detectives, Ally calls ex-cop Jayden, but he’s keen to leave it to the police—until a letter in Sharpe’s pocket draws them into a seemingly unconnected family mystery. As they take on this highly charged mission, the duo can’t help scrutinising the murder suspects. Who among the close-knit community has reason to kill, and how far will they go to protect themselves?

As fear spreads, Ally and Jayden need answers—fast. Could the letter offer a clue to the murder case or will it reveal a terrible truth? And when a new witness comes to light, Jayden closes in on a desperate killer…but can he warn Ally in time?

Critic reviews

“Kate Rawson deftly narrates this atmospheric addition to the Shell House Detectives series.… Rawson blends congeniality and solemnity in her portrayal of the town's endearing characters, especially Detective Ally Bright, who is trying to move on after the death of her spouse, and former policeman Jayden Weston. Whispering adds a menacing edge to a story that keeps listeners wondering who the murderer is. With its Cornwall setting, this is an especially delightful listen for Anglophiles who love holiday mysteries.”AudioFile Magazine

“Atmospheric, suspenseful…A series to be devoured!”—Lucy Clarke, author of the The Hike

“Emylia Hall has woven a Cornish Christmas mystery that’s every bit as atmospheric and addictive as the first one.”—Kate Riordan, author of Summer Fever

Fun cozy

Another fun cozy mystery though the multiple POV took some getting used to. On the one hand it really help with character development and getting to know the villagers, however, it also detracts from the mystery at times. Overall, this was a great followup to book one v

Very Entertaining

I really enjoyed this mystery. I read the first one in the series and liked the story and characters, which made me want to read more. Set in Cornwall, with plenty of local color and plot twists, this book held my interest from beginning to end. The narration is particularly good.
