Death by the Sea (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662541889)

From bestselling author Hannah Ellis comes a windswept mystery of meddling, murder and one very troublesome cat.

Jamie Sinclair is only meant to be minding the cat.

A temporary house-sitting job in a windswept Scottish seaside town feels straightforward enough. Keep the place ticking over. Tackle a few handyman jobs. Enjoy time away from London, with sea views and the steady company of a glossy black cat. What could possibly go wrong?

Quite a lot, as it turns out.

When an elderly client dies after a routine repair, Jamie finds himself at the centre of local gossip and under the watchful eye of Detective Constable Emma MacLeod--who has very firm opinions about civilians meddling in police business. But Jamie knows his handiwork was solid. And in a town where everyone has history, nothing is ever quite that simple.

Drawn into an improbable team by an unlikely pair of locals--a burly gym owner and a sharp-eyed student--Jamie begins pulling at the threads of a family's buried secrets. And the more they unravel, the more he suspects that solving this mystery might be the start of something far bigger than he bargained for.
