Summary
Pearl Nolan always wanted to be a detective, but life - and a teenage pregnancy - got in the way of a police career, and instead she built up a successful seafood restaurant in her coastal hometown of Whitstable - famous for its native oysters.
Now, at 39, and with son Charlie away at university, Pearl finds herself suffering from empty nest syndrome...until she discovers the drowned body of local oyster fisherman Vinnie Rowe, weighted down with an anchor chain, on the eve of Whitstable's annual oyster festival. Is it a tragic accident, suicide - or murder?
Pearl seizes the opportunity to prove her detection skills and discover the truth, but she soon finds herself in conflict with Canterbury city police detective Chief Inspector Mike McGuire. Then another body is discovered - and Pearl finds herself trawling the past for clues, triggering memories of another emotional summer more than 20 years ago....
Cover designed by Patrick Knowles.

A great listen
I really enjoyed listening to this book. I liked hearing about the characters, the beautiful seaside town, and all the twists and turns. The story went at a great pace, keeping me wanting to listen to more and more. Really enjoyed every step of the way. Will definitely listen to the next novel in the series.

Dragged on too much
The story was ok but the narrator was too slow and deliberate in her presentation.
Too much emphasise on oysters and the ending was easy to predict

enjoyable mystery
I've read quite a few of this soft/gentle detective crime genre, and to me the key to them is the ability not only to create a likeable character but also a realistic and vivid picture of the world around them. I find that julies descriptions of Whitstable and the significance of the sea was almost like another character in the story. in all a well crafted story and I hope there will be another.
