The Plot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nothing ever happens in August, and tenacious sleuth Kate Shackleton deserves a break. Heading off for a long-overdue holiday to Whitby, she visits her school friend Alma who works as a fortune teller there.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kate had been looking forward to a relaxing seaside sojourn, but upon arrival discovers that Alma\u2019s daughter Felicity has disappeared, leaving her mother a note and the pawn ticket for their only asset: a watch-guard. What makes this more intriguing is the jeweller who advanced Felicity the thirty shillings is Jack Phillips, Alma\u2019s current gentleman friend.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kate can\u2019t help but become involved, and goes to the jeweller\u2019s shop to get some answers. When she makes a horrifying discovery in the back room, it soon becomes clear that her services are needed. Met by a wall of silence by town officials, keen to maintain Whitby\u2019s idyllic fa\u00e7ade, it\u2019s up to Kate \u2013 ably assisted by Jim Sykes and Mrs Sugden \u2013 to discover the truth behind Felicity\u2019s disappearance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they say nothing happens in August . . .<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Things don\u2019t happen in exactly suggested above. Yes, Kate Shackleton heads off for a holiday in Whitby. But she finds a body on the first morning of her arrival rather than she \u201cgoes to the jeweller\u2019s shop to get some answers.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running alongside the murder is the story of Alma\u2019s missing daughter. Felicity, who happens to be Kate\u2019s goddaughter, has disappeared. Alma is distraught, so Kate decides to help look for her\u2026\u2026and gets even more involved with the local police\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The action is mainly centred on Whitby, with the occasional scenes set elsewhere with the errant goddaughter Felicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book itself is a cracking read. Worth reading.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
