The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives and the Campervan Murder by Jenny Kane

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives and the Campervan Murder” the 2nd instalment in 
The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives Mystery series by Jenny Kane set in Mousehole is a picturesque fishing village in Cornwall, England What a great follow up  to book 1.

Don't miss the next instalment in the Fish and Chip Shop Detective Agency Series, available to pre-order now!


It's been a busy summer for the Fish and Chip Shop Detectives as they get drawn into their next investigation, hook, line and sinker...

The bustling streets of Mousehole are home to Robbins' Fish and Chip Shop, where Maggie and Ryan dish up the best fried goods Cornwall has to offer - and solve a crime or two.

When a villager is found dead, Maggie and Ryan rapidly find themselves deep in a new mystery.

But as the case unfolds, it becomes clear that something strange is simmering beneath Mousehole's serene surface. The enigmatic owner of the chip shop, Mr Robbins, is nowhere to be found. And when Maggie and Ryan search his campervan home, they find it already unlocked and completely ransacked...

Where is Mr Robbins? Is his disappearance linked to the murder? As the fish and chip shop detectives face a boatload of questions, can they catch the killer before someone winds up dead?

The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives
Forty-eight-year-old Maggie is a lover of puzzles. When she's not working at Robbins' Fish and Chip Shop, she can be found on her sofa, nursing a cup of tea and solving the latest mystery thrown at the detectives in Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders and more. Maggie's found a firm friendship with Ryan, a newcomer to Mousehole. When he's not busy sleuthing, Ryan enjoys nursing a pint at The Mariner pub. Together, Maggie and Ryan serve the best fish and chips - and solve crimes as The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives.

The Setting
Mousehole is a picturesque fishing village in Cornwall, known for its scenic harbour, winding streets, and tiny sandy beach. It's also home to Robbins' Fish and Chip Shop, the only chippy in town. Tourists and locals alike enjoy a battered cod whilst admiring the calm waterfront. And if you want a side of gossip with your food, make sure you get to the chip shop at exactly 6 o'clock, where you'll find local pensioner Harry, who is always up for a natter...

I love the story and the I enjoyed catching up with Maggie and Ryan. I was saddened about some things but definitely like where the characters are heading.  

The mystery is interesting and well plotted, and had plenty of twists to keep engaged right to the very end. I kept guessing and second-guessing myself but I was right on who the killer was.

Overall, this book is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries and heartwarming fiction. Jenny’s writing is engaging, and her characters are lovable and well-crafted. I highly recommend this charming novel and look forward to the next instalment.
