Salt Girl: the gripping new murder mystery for summer 2023 with an unmissable, shocking twist (Seahouses Mystery Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Katherine Graham (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 235 ratings

A five-star Readers' Favorite and 'Book We Love' by LoveReading.co.uk

What secrets did a lost girl die to keep?

When Izzy discovers the body of a teenage runaway under her conservatory, she knows that someone in this village buried a very dark secret.

Who is the girl? How was she able to vanish in a place like Seahouses? And why was her grave filled with salt?

The police are unable–or unwilling–to investigate a twenty-year-old crime, so Izzy takes matters into her own hands, teaming up with retired schoolteacher Diana to investigate.

But Diana’s memory is not what it used to be. Who was the girl she knew all those years ago, and what was she running from? Diana has the answers… if only she could remember them.

Will they uncover the secrets that this postcard-perfect village is hiding, or will the truth stay buried forever?

"Hooked from the first chapter..."
Goodreads reviewer

"A page turner; tension, mystery, amateur sleuthing... it packs a lot in."
Lovereading ambassador

Each book in the Seahouses Mystery series is a stand-alone story. Although some of the same faces pop up in each book, there are no major storylines that carry over from one mystery to the next, and no spoilers. Not reading the books in order will (hopefully) not impact your enjoyment of them.

I’m never not reading. Growing up, we had a rule in our house that my mother had to frequently enforce: no books at the dinner table. What can I say – stories are simply delicious.

I’m a proud northern lass (Gateshead, to be exact). I began my career as a trainee journalist and ended up in PR and marketing, helping brands tell their stories.

My debut novel Salt Sisters was published in 2021 and the follow-up, Salted Earth, was shortlisted for the Lindisfarne Prize for Crime Fiction.

Apart from writing, I love 90s RnB, Cadbury’s chocolate buttons, and spin classes.

    Wow, Salt Girl is a awesome mystery book. I kept thinking I had guessed the killer but boy was I wrong. I loved the character of Izzy & all she went through finally deciding home is where love is not a place.

    After I finished Salt Girl, I learned it was the last book in the Seahouses Mystery series. If I’d read the other two books first, I might have been more invested in the characters. As it was, I just wanted them to get on with it.

    The series centers around Izzy, an interior designer who abandoned her exciting life in Hong Kong to return to the small English village of Seahouses after her sister’s mysterious death. In Salt Girl, Izzy and her fiancé are living in a palatial but hideously decorated mansion. Izzy can’t wait to start stripping wallpaper and smashing floor tiles. When a storm destroys the conservatory, rebuilding it becomes the priority. That’s when the trouble starts.

    A workman discovers a body under the foundation. The deceased is initially described as looking like a football with two holes in it. Seriously? Couldn’t we just call it a skull? Maybe I should mention that my American brain conjured up an American football, which had me envisioning a pointy-chinned, cone-headed space alien. Also, very curiously, the body is buried in salt.

    The discovery is traumatic for Izzy, who is still dealing with her sister’s death. When Diana, a retired teacher in the beginning stages of dementia, enlists Izzy’s aid in solving the mystery of who the dead girl is and why her disappearance went unnoticed all those years ago, Izzy reluctantly agrees to help.

    Salt Girl underscores the way we as humans often fail each other and how our “safety nets,” in this case, the foster care system, aren’t all that safe. The mystery of the salt is touched upon but not enough in my opinion. I had the killer pegged early on, but a couple of pink herrings led me astray for a while (pink because they weren’t effective enough to be red). The way the killer was identified was original, but a few things about the ending left me scratching my head.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery thriller with a naturalist's appreciation of the English coastline!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2023
    I'm normally a classics reader...I can't go back enough times to my Kipling, Conrad or Greene. But I'm also a devotee of the spy genre and have read every Le Carre at least once. What the Seahouses Mystery trilogy adds to that is a gripping, yet beautifully painted thriller series that I simply couldn't put down once I began. Seriously, I devoured all 3 books one after the other. Not only does Graham know how to build suspense and a page turner, she has an eye (and pen) for the haunting beauty of the English coastline. She describes colours and moods with the love that only a native of the region can. I loved this series and can't wait for the next one to come out!

    5.0 out of 5 stars BRB, packing my bags for a trip to the British seaside.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2023
    I LOVED this. Perfect amateur sleuths (one willing, one reluctant) story set in a charming little seaside town. I accidentally jumped into the middle and haven’t read the other books in the series, and while I now want to catch up, this was wonderfully complete as a stand-alone with enough references to the past even us newbies understood dynamics and history. Graham does a lovely job using different POVs and voices, sprinkling in red herrings and slowly dropping real clues like a pro. The salt girl’s murder is a great tragedy, and Graham gives us all the feels through how our main characters react to it, but it’s also an easy read with no gratuitous gore or other ugliness. Altogether, a perfect lovely little mystery in the vein of Mary Higgins Clark.

    I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions my own.

    Third book of Grahams I have read and compelling, again. Secrets is her theme and she does it so well - characters and places brought to life so vividly, with smart plots and twists and turns. Read in any order - but do read them all!

    I've read and loved all 3 books in this series, one after the other, but they would each read well too as standalone. Plenty of twists in Salt Girl. Didn't guess who did it until right at the end.
