The Lamplighters, penned by the acclaimed Emma Stonex, is a gripping novel that has captivated readers and earned its place as a Sunday Times Bestseller. This masterful blend of mystery, horror, and the supernatural offers a compelling psychological exploration that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Set against the haunting backdrop of Cornwall in 1972, The Lamplighters delves into the mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers from their isolated post. The chilling details surrounding their vanishing act include:

  • A door locked from the inside
  • Timepieces inexplicably frozen
  • A log that contradicts the serene weather conditions

The narrative unfolds two decades later as the women left behind—Helen, Jenny, and Michelle—struggle with unresolved grief. Instead of bringing them together, their shared trauma has created a rift. Enter an inquisitive writer who provides them an opportunity to share their long-silenced perspectives. However, the path to uncovering the truth requires each woman to confront her deepest fears.

Inspired by true events, this unforgettable tale artfully navigates the complexities of love, loss, and the thin line between reality and imagination. As noted by SJ Watson, author of Before I Go To Sleep, The Lamplighters is "a mystery, a love story, and a ghost story, all at once," making it a must-read for fans of atmospheric fiction.

Discover the secrets that linger in the briny air of the Cornish coast with The Lamplighters.

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.’
