What to expect
An ordinary detective constable trying 'not' to solve a murder.
The remote and isolated Cornish island of Gallymay was meant to be the perfect place for a break. But things don’t quite go to plan when Jim stumbles across a body on his first day.
Which is the last thing he needs. But it’s fine. He’ll call Devon and Cornwall Police. They’ll sort it out.
Except the storm, and the island, have other ideas. Cut off from the mainland during a mid-winter storm, Jim finds himself reluctantly thrust into a murder investigation, assisted by a ragtag group of well-meaning locals, in a chaotic, heartfelt, and often laugh-out-loud “almost” cosy mystery.
Told through police notebooks, witness statements, interview transcripts and body-worn video logs, Murder Crime on Gallymay blends pitch-perfect policing, with laugh-out-loud moments, heartwarming friendships, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the final page.

This book is brilliant as well as the narration. I loved every minute of it. I hope there is going to be a series, the characters are wonderful. I must admit to laughing out loud. More please 😊
