Summary
A stunning Cornish house, a shocking death—can The Shell House Detectives catch a killer hiding in plain sight?
"Sensationally good... I absolutely loved it."—Rosie Walsh
“No one does coastal crime like Emylia Hall.”—Lucy Clarke
Music legend Baz Carson is ready to welcome his closest friends and family to celebrate his seventieth birthday at Rockpool House, his stunning mansion set high on the cliffs on the Cornish coast. But the festivities come to an abrupt end when Baz is found dead, floating fully clothed in his infinity pool.
Tallulah, a boho-chic Californian and Baz’s first love, is convinced that his death wasn’t an accident. He’s just published his tell-all memoir, and the list of those who might wish him harm is long. But with just eight guests at Baz’s luxury, gated home, who could have killed him—and why?
Tallulah hires Ally Bright and ex-cop Jayden Weston to uncover the truth. It’s a case that becomes a race against time, and one that will push Ally and Jayden to their limits as they draw ever closer to a killer. A killer who’s hiding in plain sight and feels they have nothing to lose…

Critic reviews
“Stunning writing, a clever plot, and a mystery that’ll keep you guessing till the final page—this is my favorite book in the series so far! No one does coastal crime like Emylia Hall.”—Lucy Clarke
“Cozy crime that makes you cry isn't a subgenre I knew I needed in my life until I read The Rockpool Murder and found myself racing through the pages with a lump in my throat. Pacy and intriguing yet also full of emotion, this is possibly my favorite yet in The Shell House Detectives series. A warm-hearted mystery that will have you racing to turn the pages.”—Libby Page
“The Rockpool Murder is a gem of a book. Escapist, exciting, gorgeously written and packed to the brim with Shell House heart and soul, it’s my favorite of the series so far. Emylia Hall brings rock-star glamour to Porthpella in glittering and menacing style, with a cast of characters quite literally to die for. The dunes have never felt so dangerous…and I loved every minute.”—Emma Stonex

Brilliant series
I absolutely love this series - the characters’ arcs and storylines just get better and better and each book always leaves me looking forward to the next…..
I was a little shocked at the beginning of the book to hear the change in Narrator and it took me around a quarter of the book to get anywhere near used to it, but I think all characters (apart from Allie) were so convincing by the end I was properly settled in to it 😊 Again, I can’t wait for the next instalment………

"Breakages must be paid for."
Added to my library simply because it was set in Cornwall, I was really pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the Rock pool Murder. The third in a series of cosy mysteries, nothing was lost by neither of the two previous books having been read before. Unusually, there was a definite atmospheric feel of Cornwall (instead of the usual contrived seaside background) suffused throughout with the unexpected death of a long retired rock star at his recently purchased Cornish home on the eve of his 70th birthday. There is an ongoing story of the local residents combined with that of the incomes family and friends to the big house for a planned birthday party, many well drawn characterizations sparse but sufficient, and an intriguing story line to keep the reader guessing.
Narration was by Kirstin Atherton, a pleasant voice, a stead pace and well modulated throughout. A good performance which mostly enhanced the reading.The
Love the cover.
Recommended to all who enjoy an exclusive combination of character, location and keep-you-guesing plot cosy mystery and is part of the audio plus list, automatically available to read for free with the kindle plus book

Easy listening with great characters
The narrator is very good indeed at portraying all the different characters in the story. I love n Cornwall so can relate to the descriptions of the area and other comments describing life in Cornwall. I look forward to another on the series.

American English
Why are books supposedly by British authors calling road junctions intersections? Why are books read by narrators with English accents pronouncing words lie buoy the American way?
