The Lamplighters, authored by the acclaimed Emma Stonex, is a captivating novel that has not only earned its place as a Sunday Times Bestseller but also mesmerized readers with its intricate narrative.

This thrilling blend of mystery, horror, and the supernatural invites you to explore a chilling tale set in Cornwall, 1972. The story centers around the enigmatic disappearance of three lighthouse keepers, a plot that unfolds with harrowing details:

  • A door locked from the inside
  • Timepieces frozen in an eerie stillness
  • A log that contradicts the calm weather conditions

Fast forward two decades, and we meet the women left behind—Helen, Jenny, and Michelle. Each struggles with unresolved grief, which instead of uniting them, has forged a painful rift. An inquisitive writer enters their lives, urging them to voice their long-silenced stories. Yet, the quest for truth compels them to confront their darkest fears.

Inspired by true events, The Lamplighters artfully weaves themes of love, loss, and the blurry line between reality and imagination. Esteemed author SJ Watson praises it as "a mystery, a love story, and a ghost story, all at once," marking it as a must-read for enthusiasts of atmospheric fiction.

Dive into the secrets that linger in the briny air of the Cornish coast with The Lamplighters and experience a narrative that stays with you long after the last page.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
