Have you ever found a body on the beach?
Recently widowed Libby Forest arrives in the small coastal town of Exham-on-Sea, keen to start a new life baking cakes and designing chocolates.
Walking on the beach one stormy autumn day, Libby and excitable Springer Spaniel ‘Shipley’ discover a dead body under the lighthouse. Convinced the death was no accident, Libby teams up with Max Ramshore, an attractive local resident, and Bear, a huge sheepdog, to confront indifference from the community and unmask the killer.
Murder at the Lighthouse is the first in a series of Exham-on-Sea Murder Mysteries set at the small English seaside town full of quirky characters, sea air and gossip.

'This is a perfect short, cosy mystery.'

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Within the green fields and sandy coasts of Exham on Sea, Somerset, hides gruesome and grizzly secrets. After relocating to the town and picking up work at the local bakery, Libby Forest assumes the role of amateur sleuth when she discovers a body along the beach. This death is soon followed by another one—seemingly linked. Local police dismiss the first as suicide and the second as an accident, but Libby, convinced of foul play, teams up with a game local to investigate and uncover the truth. An unfussy and satisfying murder mystery with a significant sting in its tail.

Easy read
An easy read but found the ending suddenly came round with no clues to who could have been the killer

It was dragging and enjoyable.
Getting back to reading
Thought I would pick up reading but didn’t want something that was too long to read, found this book which was free and a murder mystery I had to try it and I’m very excited to read the rest of the series I think I’m hooked.
