Tracie's Reviews > A Death at Seascape House

Special Collections Librarian Jem Jago has been offered a job to catalog and evaluate an old library collection on the island of St. Morwenna in the isles of Scilly, that she had lived on as a child. Lyonesse House is the old family home of an estranged friend Pauley Gwyn, and its contents is several centuries old. When a possible Oscar Wilde poem disappears just before she arrives, she goes to confront a former nemesis, Mrs. Reddy, and Jem discovers her body instead. Jem had left the island under bad circumstances, but makes friends with a bartender Micki Latham, who finds Jem a place to stay at her fathers and Jem makes peace with Pauley. To clear her name, Jemma starts investigating, after all she is a librarian. This is an interesting beginning to a series.
