Don't miss the next instalment in the Fish and Chip Shop Detective Agency Series, available to pre-order now!
It's been a busy summer for the Fish and Chip Shop Detectives as they get drawn into their next investigation, hook, line and sinker...
The bustling streets of Mousehole are home to Robbins' Fish and Chip Shop, where Maggie and Ryan dish up the best fried goods Cornwall has to offer - and solve a crime or two.
When a villager is found dead, Maggie and Ryan rapidly find themselves deep in a new mystery.
But as the case unfolds, it becomes clear that something strange is simmering beneath Mousehole's serene surface. The enigmatic owner of the chip shop, Mr Robbins, is nowhere to be found. And when Maggie and Ryan search his campervan home, they find it already unlocked and completely ransacked...
Where is Mr Robbins? Is his disappearance linked to the murder? As the fish and chip shop detectives face a boatload of questions, can they catch the killer before someone winds up dead?
The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives
Forty-eight-year-old Maggie is a lover of puzzles. When she's not working at Robbins' Fish and Chip Shop, she can be found on her sofa, nursing a cup of tea and solving the latest mystery thrown at the detectives in Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders and more. Maggie's found a firm friendship with Ryan, a newcomer to Mousehole. When he's not busy sleuthing, Ryan enjoys nursing a pint at The Mariner pub. Together, Maggie and Ryan serve the best fish and chips - and solve crimes as The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives.
The Setting
Mousehole is a picturesque fishing village in Cornwall, known for its scenic harbour, winding streets, and tiny sandy beach. It's also home to Robbins' Fish and Chip Shop, the only chippy in town. Tourists and locals alike enjoy a battered cod whilst admiring the calm waterfront. And if you want a side of gossip with your food, make sure you get to the chip shop at exactly 6 o'clock, where you'll find local pensioner Harry, who is always up for a natter…
The Fish and Chip Shop Detective Agency series is proving to be an absolute delight. Just as entertaining as the first book, this second installment delivers another charming mystery filled with memorable characters, humor, and plenty of intrigue.
The story once again centers on Maggie Tyson and Ryan Stepney, an unlikely but effective pair of amateur sleuths who work at Robbins’ Fish and Chip Shop. Maggie would much rather spend her time solving crossword puzzles than investigating crimes, and she is especially hopeful that her newly formed Crossword Club will be a success. However, mystery seems to have a way of finding her.
Having already demonstrated a knack for solving murder, Maggie and the much younger Ryan soon find themselves drawn into another investigation when a local villager is found dead. As they begin digging into the case, matters become even more complicated when their boss, Mr. Robbins, suddenly vanishes. They begin their search at his campervan home, where they discover signs that it has been thoroughly ransacked. Maggie and Ryan can’t help but wonder whether his disappearance is linked to the murder.
With very little to go on, the pair must navigate village gossip, hidden secrets, and increasing danger as they work to uncover the truth. Along the way, they discover that their seemingly idyllic community may not be quite as picture-perfect as it appears.
What a fun series this has been so far! Jenny Kane skillfully blends friendship, humor, and mystery into an engaging cozy read. The chemistry between Maggie and Ryan continues to shine, and the charming village setting adds to the appeal. I am already looking forward to the next installment in the series.
