Publisher's summary

The crashing wave catches the early morning light, sparkling like diamonds across the beach. It cocoons the girl’s body resting on the rocks, her knees tucked under her. As the water reaches it, the girl’s dark hair rises in tendrils to caress her face, her eyelashes speckled with sand. She’d look like a mermaid from a story… if not for the bruises around her fragile throat.

When the body of a young woman is found by the coast in Land’s End, Cornwall, Detective Lauren Pengelly and her deputy Matt Price are first on the scene. Sophie Bethany Yates was well-known around the docks – a pretty girl from up the coast, always dreaming of something more. As locals jostle the barricades for a better look, whispers go round that Sophie’s boyfriend Samuel was more than capable of murder.

But Lauren isn’t ready to close the case, even after Samuel can’t give a reliable alibi for the night Sophie died. Something about the crime scene feels off – a hunch confirmed when they find a tiny slip of paper hidden inside Sophie’s mouth, reading “Men must work and women must weep”. It’s a break in the case, but a confusing one. What does the cryptic message mean, and how come Lauren feels like she’s heard it before?

But then another young woman is found on the sand, a curl of paper between her lips. Lauren knows they’re running out of time to catch the killer. As she begins to untangle the dark truth around what’s happening to these girls, she discovers a darker side to the scenic town – and to Sophie herself, who wasn’t all she seemed. Hiding in plain sight is a twisted killer, whose desperate plans mean nobody is safe for long… but can Lauren piece together the truth before they find her first?

An unputdownable murder mystery from a bestselling author, perfect for fans of LJ Ross, Louise Penny and Joy Ellis.

Disappointingly boring

Same scheme done over and over. Not interesting at all.
The “Brothers” and “cousins” intro was useless and made no sense. I was hoping the “Brothers” would end up being the drug runners and arrested, cousin threat solved. But, no. The very weak threat by the chief to the “Brothers” and apparent new storyline for the next book, has tainted the chief and iI really am saddened by it. Will not be purchasing the next issue.

Worst of the 3 Cornwall Murders

I think I figured it out - these 3 books and especially this one, are for the novice mystery thriller reader. The writer has the characters describing, mentally, the most common of police things. Goes into detail about the suspect is shifting his eyes or fidgeting, I am not going to take up a lot of time describing all the little things a well seasoned MT reader doesn't need to be told. I read all of Sally Rigby series and this is by far the worst. There is nothing endearing about the characters, hardly any humor or if there is its stupid from Billy.

Take Sebastian Clifford Series. such rapport between Seb and Birdy, great humor.

This will be the last Cornwall Murder book I will waste a credit on. and a credit for a 6 hours listen! what a waste when you can get great a great book 10, 11.......24 hours or more for that same credit.

Worth The Wait

I had to wait for this book to come out on audio. And although I was impatient it was worth it. I got the book today and I have listened to it twice with much enjoyment. I like the performance of the gal who read it. Thank you Sally from Colleen in NZ
