One tragic death. Five people know the truth. Who is to blame?

Hollywood darling Cassie Warner is tragically killed three weeks before Christmas in a car crash on the outskirts of Castleby. Her daughter, Tabatha, narrowly survives the crash. Detective Steve Miller suspects foul play and discovers evidence confirming he is dealing with a murder enquiry.

Local crime mafiosi, Mickey and Pearl Camorra’s empire is at risk from rival gangs who plan to take over. Anxious to avoid a violent and bloody turf war Detective Miller reluctantly supports them to keep control.

Ex-soldier Foxy takes in a troubled loved one and does all he can to help, but the odds are stacked against him.

As Detective Miller investigates the crash, he discovers a broken family with a long history of neglect and abuse. Digging deeper, he is faced with five potential suspects, but who is really to blame?

Murder, obsession, intrigue and suspense continue in the fourth of the Castleby Series.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Originally born in Essex, Jo was predominantly raised in the West Country, enjoying a childhood in Devon and Cornwall, never far from a rugged coastline, sandy beach, or harbour.

Jo currently lives in Kent, with her two (occasionally stroppy) teenage daughters, her extremely long suffering husband and her two writing partners Max (who features as Brock in the series) and Merlin, both rescue Border Collie’s.

Jo’s debut set of novels are the Castleby series, set in a coastal community and largely inspired by the plethora of time spent in and around the UK’s coastline, and the never ending visits to RNLI shops that her children insisted on with a regularity. The series seemed a natural progression and the fictional seaside town of Castleby grew with new people and new plotlines.

The first debut novel in the Castleby series was SEA STATE, followed by the second in the series, Sea Change.

Jo is planning a new series set in the Scottish highlands, the first of which will hopefully be published in 2023, as well as a summer thriller for 2023 and a few standalone novels.

In what little spare time Jo has, she spends writing, walking by the ocean, walking the dogs, being an armchair movie critic, and drinking copious amounts of wine in her most favourite pub with friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2023
The plot thickens! Something I love about this series is that there are so many characters, relationships, and so much chaos and drama, but it is so well orchestrated.

It would be so easy for characters to get lost in a story with such a complicated plot. But J.M. Simpson has choreographed this story to perfection. With each book she releases, it only gets better.

We meet several new characters in this book and catch up with a few we have already met. I love that Steve led this one; he is such a great character.

I liked Seb and Tabatha, and I look forward to their story arc growing as the series continues. I loved Suzy and her dog grooming slash dog rescue. She was just fantastic.

I love that drama, humor, danger, heartbreak, loss, trauma, and healing are featured in this series. The way these heavy topics are handled is beautiful, and Simpson has an absolute gift for creating a stunning story.

This book was much more land focused this time around, but I loved getting to spend time on other parts of this town. I love the detail that goes into each storyline and all character development.

This is such a well-done series, and each book is better than the last. I love how Simpson continues bringing new characters in while still maintaining the characters from before.

It is an incredible work of art. This series has everything a reader could want and then some. I am already anxiously awaiting the next release!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fantastic Castleby Book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2023

Sea Haven by JM Simpson is the fourth book in the Castleby Series. I have been waiting for this book and now I get to revisit the scenic Castleby and its wonderful characters, their relationships, the mystery and the excitement in this vibrant community.

New characters are introduced in this book as old ones are developed further. A car crash, a death, an investigation - the mystery unfolds. The characters go about their day-to-day but in Castleby, something is always amiss, yet friendships are developed, love blossoms and wounds are healed.

I think what I like best about this series is the relationships between the characters. Their mental health struggles are realistic and evocative. The community itself is a character - so supportive and loving and so close - always looking out for each other. It’s a place I’d love to live. Without the murders and drug dealers of course. But even the ‘bad guys’ evoke empathy.

Simpson’s writing is pacy. The transitions between characters are fluid, their development progressive. The descriptive writing is transfixing - you feel as if you’re there, in Castleby. As I said, the characters are enjoyable and you can’t help but fall in love with them. They’re so human.

I highly recommend this series! It’s one of my favourite series. It has it all: crime, murder, drama and romance.

This was as gripping and well written as the first three books in the series. As previously, the familiar characters we love are there but with new ones woven into the story. I can't wait for books 5 and 6 to be published. Fantastic .

4.0 out of 5 stars Welsh escapism in murder, mystery crime fiction.

I managed to finish reading this fourth book in the series, whilst flying home to Hong Kong.
I was asked by the passenger next to me to describe the book and why I was enjoying it. Describing it was more difficult. A police procedural? Murder mystery crime? Life in a Welsh coastal town? Happy and unhappy families? Everyday stories of Lifeboatmen?
It is all of these, and thus I suppose the combination is what makes for good reading.

I really enjoy this series of books and the fourth is no exception. The character development is excellent, you feel you know them but as in real life they're not always predictable. Great plot, handles difficult topics well, and lots of twists and turns that make you want to keep reading way past bedtime!! I love the dogs, especially the reject border collie, just like my boy. Perfect!

Fantastic to be back in Castleby once again with much loved favourite characters. Clever twists and turns await in the fourth book in the series, along with some interesting new characters, all brought together seemlessly by Jo and her brilliant storytelling. Love Mickey and Pearl Camorra and a special mention must go to Jonesey, who never stops eating, hilarious, very well written. Brilliant work Jo, never stop. Love your work, looking forward to book five.
