BLOG TOUR - A Death at Neptune Cove


DESCRIPTION:

A birthday beach party gone wrong, buried treasure and… a dead body? This might be Jemima Jago’s most baffling case yet!

When 
Jem knocks on the door of an isolated cottage overlooking beautiful Neptune Cove, she’s hoping for help fixing a birthday cake baking disaster. She’s not expecting to find the tenant dead on the tiled floor, specks of blood on the collar of his navy-and-red satin pajamas…

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.

It doesn’t take Jem long to discover the identification the victim, who was a business from America. Apparently he had been living on the Isles of Scilly for quite some time, and as things turned out, had been the victim of gossip and rumors. Someone wanted him dead and Jem is determined to discover who that was and to bring that individual to justice. 

Not sure if it is a coincidence or not, Jem’s flame Rhys and his dog, were about and Rhys’s dog dug up a cache of gems on the beach. Not one to believe in coincidences, Jem soldiers on, more determined than ever.

Meanwhile, Jem is determined to have that birthday party for fourteen-year-old Kenzie, thus she has more than enough on her plate. With a determined Jem, excellent pacing and a light touch, A Death at Neptune Cove was another enjoyable read in this wonderful cozy mystery series. 

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
