Get ready to join the Fish and Chip Shop Detectives as they set sail on their latest investigation...

In the picturesque Cornish seaside village of Mousehole, Maggie and Ryan are busy running Robbins' Fish and Chip Shop. They love nothing more than a cup of tea, a nice slice of cake... and solving a murder mystery.

But Maggie and Ryan weren't expecting to find a dead body in the castle on St Michael's Mount, a famous island known for its causeway that disappears under water at high tide.

Already searching for a local youth, Mitch, who's been missing for three weeks, Maggie and Ryan fear the worst. Then when a fishing boat is stolen, the detectives begin to suspect that all three mysterious events are somehow connected...

Has Mitch found himself in at the deep end? And can the amateur sleuths solve their latest case before the truth is left out at sea?
