The Curse of Sea Shell Cave: Jay-Pea-Eyes aka Junior Private Investigators Kindle Edition

by John Priest (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars (4)
It's school holiday time and the JPIs are staying at their favourite place in Portsmouth, UK.

The Pelican Hotel is owned by Stan's gran Muriel Larkin and she's always delighted to see them arrive. This holiday is different. A horrible black depression hovers over the hotel.

The children sense it straight away but their parents won't discuss it.
Stan won't talk, not even to Harry his best friend and locks himself in his bedroom.

The JPIs are warned not to step foot on Muriel's private beach because the sand has turned green and the council think it's poisonous. That meant they couldn't go near Sea Shell Cave either. Earth tremors at night are so ferocious they rock the very foundations of the building. Muriel thinks everything is cursed; the beach, the hotel and Sea Shell Cave.

The JPIs don't have the same feeling. After noticing strange goings on in the hotel and on the public beach, they think something or someone is responsible for everything that is happening. They intend to find out who and why. It will lead them into life-threatening danger and will be their toughest case yet.

John Priest - born in the West Midlands, UK.

John is an experienced writer of children's books.

His latest book is for the grown-ups! It's a Science Fiction/Dystopian/Thriller, titled i4Ni and looks at the 'science fiction' that has now become 'science fact' - Artificial Intelligence has taken the world by storm and this story asks many questions, like this one; if someone creates a humanoid able to tell if someone is guilty of a crime or not?

Sounds great doesn't it? But what if the person creating the humanoid has other deadly ideas for his creation? How would anyone know...?

    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2015
    Format: Paperback
    The Curse of Sea Shell Cave is a suspense-filled story about the mysterious events taking place around the Pelican Hotel in Portsmouth. The hotel, owned by Muriel Larkin, has started to lose business and Stan, her grandson, will be affected if his parents have to move to Portsmouth to help out his gran. He and a group of friends, the Jay-Pea-Eyes or Junior Private Detectives, set out to investigate some strange characters who have recently appeared on the scene. One thing leads to another and, in their eagerness to discover the truth, the children put their lives in danger.
    The plot hinges on a historical event concerning 'wreckers' who, at the turn of the 19th century, stole the spoils of ships that foundered on rocks. It is an exciting and fast moving story, involving many twists and turns: there are written clues, secret passages, doors with combination locks and a few well-drawn bizarre characters. The many devices and hooks keep the reader intrigued and guessing until the very end.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Story for Kids

    This is a great story for kids. It has all the right stuff, like the kid’s very own ‘Jay Pea Eyes’ aka Junior Private Investigators. Love the name. However in this adventure ‘Jay Pea Eyes’ look like they will be co-investigating with another PI.

    The story has everything children would love. The Hotel setting and the beach work, especially the cave. Not to mention secret passageways, great clues and of course, the mystery. What do the investigators discover? You’ll have to read it to find out.

    This book would be suitable for girls and boys. Both have important roles in the story and I highly recommend it.
