Librarian Jemma Jago has been offered a dream job – the chance to catalog Cornwall’s myriad old shipwreck records. The only sticking point is that Jem will have to travel to St. Morwenna, a place Jem vowed to never to return to. She’s not back for long when she’s implicated in the murder of one the village’s most disliked women. Nobody liked Edith, but nobody wanted to see her murdered either. Determined to prove her innocence, Jem embarks on a search that gives her a bird’s eye view of the lives of the local villagers, some of whom have secrets they would rather never see the light of day

Jemima Jago is offered the opportunity to catalogue Cornwall’s largest collection of antique shipwreck records it is a dream come true. The only problem? The collection is housed on the island of St. Morwenna, the childhood home she left years ago and vowed never to return to.Shortly after Jem arrives back in town, island busybody and notorious grump Edith Reddy is found dead, with duct tape clamped over her mouth and nose. Jem, caught seemingly red-handed at the scene of the crime, mistakenly becomes the police’s number one suspect. The handsome Sergeant Hackman in particular can’t seem to leave Jem alone…
