By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @pjskinnerauthor @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #SeacastleMysteries For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Grace Reality is a crime mystery genre which is the 7th book in the series. You can read as a standalone, as I did. I have read a number of PJ Skinner book and I have enjoyed them all immensely. Grace Reality is set in Sea castle and cast and crew from a reality show wanting to film there. Tanya, who is the main character and narrator, has been asked to work for them to recommend filming locations, but Tanya seems to be doing more than this and investigating a murder. It took me a few chapters to get into, but once I got past the beginning, I got into and thoroughly enjoyed the plot. I did like Tanya a lot as a character and enjoyed getting to know her and how she works. I liked how she was still friends with her ex who is a policeman and liked her partner Harry too. All the characters seemed down to earth and easy to like. I liked how the book kept me guessing who the murder was, I thought I knew and when I carried on reading the story kept changing my mind. This is a cozy and lighthearted read. I will def check the rest of the series out. 4 stars. Blurb A reality show turns deadly when death rewrites the script. Chaos breaks out in the quiet town of Seacastle when the cast and crew of the hit show Sloane Rangers descend upon it, stirring up drama both on and off the screen. Local sleuth and former investigative reporter, Tanya Bowe, is brought on board as a consultant, tasked with recommending perfect filming locations for the episode. Tanya soon uncovers a tangled web of strained relationships and simmering tensions among the cast members. When one of the stars of the show is discovered unconscious in her room, Tanya finds herself at the heart of a complex murder investigation where everyone is a suspect. Unravelling the truth seems impossible when many of them have difficulty distinguishing real life from the scripted show. As the case unfolds, several beloved cast members emerge as the prime suspects, sending shockwaves through Seacastle. With everyone playing a part and secrets buried deep, the murderer remains hidden in plain sight. Can Tanya unravel the truth before someone else dies? In this captivating British small-town cozy mystery, a maze of potential suspects, each with their own motives and secrets, will keep you guessing until the very end. If you relish seaside settings, intricate mysteries, and a touch of wit, buy your copy now and join Tanya on her quest to unravel the truth. Author bio I have been writing in various genres and under various pen names for nearly ten years. In 2020, I moved to a small town on the south coast of England where I spent lockdown during the Covid pandemic. During that time, I published a sci-fi mystery, Mortal Mission under the name of Pip Skinner and realised I had a great idea for a series of Cozy/Cosy Mysteries set at the English seaside. I have always been a massive fan of crime and mystery and I guess it was inevitable I would turn my hand to a mystery series eventually. I planned the Seacastle Mysteries with half an eye on the classic mysteries of Agatha Christie, so they are classic whodunnits, but I have set up modern scenarios and twists. Before I wrote novels, I spent 30 years working as an exploration geologist, managing remote sites and doing due diligence on projects in over thirty countries. During this time, I worked in many countries in South America and Africa in remote, strange, and often dangerous places where I collected the tall tales and real-life experiences. These inspired the Sam Harris Adventure Series, chronicling the adventures of a female geologist as a pioneer in a hitherto exclusively male world.
