The Mermaid's Call by Katherine Stansfield
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

1845 Boscastle, Cornwall. Shilly Williams (the book is from her point of view) and Anna Drake have formed a detective agency and reside with their newest member, also an investor, Mathilda. On being approached by Captain Frederick Ians they travel to the Morwenstow coast to determine the identity of a recently found body, and who is guilty for his death,
On starting the book I was unaware that it was part of a series, it is obvious that the reader is missing the background story of these characters which would have be useful in knowing. The ending leaves some loose ends, unfortunately. Also I really didn't take to the two main characters.
