The Bones of Logan Rock by Sally Rigby

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "The Bones of Logan Rock” the 7th instalment in A Cornwall Murder Mystery 
series featuring DI Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price by Sally Rigby  .  This is the third book I have read in the series, if you love mysteries set in Cornwall, England this is for you!

An archaeological dig on the wild Cornish cliffs was supposed to uncover ancient history. Instead, it has exposed a grave that was never meant to be found.

When human remains are found at the excavation site near Logan Rock in Treen, Cornwall, Detective Lauren Pengelly is called to investigate. These bones don't belong to some Bronze Age settler – they're the remains of a sixteen-year-old girl who vanished at a beach party in 1996, a night of bonfires, cheap cider and a killer who has gone unchecked for thirty years.

But before Lauren and her partner, DS Matt Price, can unravel the truth behind the girl's disappearance, another body is found at the base of the cliffs. Someone is willing to commit murder to keep the past hidden... and they're not finished yet. As the body count rises, Lauren must untangle three decades of lies before the killer silences anyone who might expose the harrowing truth.

Get ready to be totally hooked! Fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel McLean and J M Dalgliesh can't get enough of this series.

I love visiting Cornwall while not a lot of descriptive scenes as in some books there was just enough to know we were in Cornwall.   I liked the dynamics between the investigative team and how they played off each other. With Tasmin possibly leaving what will happen with the dynamics once an unknown is added.   We will just have to wait and see.

The mystery was really interesting, well plotted, and had just enough twists to keep you engrossed and wanting to know what happens next.  I was really invested in the outcome and read in one day. This series is quickly becoming one of my favorite British crime series.

I recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.

A Body at the Irish Book Club by Lucy Connelly

Hello my cozy friends, 

Today I am reviewing “ A Body at the Irish Book Club” by Lucy Connelly the 5th instalment in the " A Mercy McCarthy Mystery" series. 

Buy here

The Shamrock Cove Autumn Festival is filling the town with the delicious aroma of cinnamon-filled pastries, the cheerful sight of jaunty jack o’lanterns and… a body at the local book club

Mercy McCarthy is delighted to see old neighbors and new friends come to the bookstore to support her sister’s Autumn book club. But as Mercy closes the chapter on the evening, she stumbles across local grandmother Eva, lifelessly slumped in a squashy armchair at the back of the store.

Mercy recognizes Eva as one of the festival’s main organizers and though she looks to be at peace, the plot thickens when Mercy notices a suspicious mark on her neck. Mercy knows this was no accident. With so many people in the store that night, any one of them could be the killer.

Just as Mercy reads a suspicious-sounding entry for the festival’s fiction-writing contest, another body turns up on the beach. Is someone in Shamrock Cove dying for a bestseller?

It’s up to Mercy and her crime-solving canine companion Mr. Poe to sniff out the suspects before another victim is taken. Could the murderer be the garden center owner who dabbles in chemistry? Eva’s ne’er-do-well grandson-in-law? Or the local busybody who has an opinion about everybody?

Mercy has to hit the books—and the streets of Shamrock Cove—to solve the mystery before the killer has the last word.

An utterly addictive Irish cozy mystery in a small town full of quirky neighbors, charming festivals and one unstoppable amateur detective. Fans of Agatha Christie, Carlene O’Connor and Faith Martin will love meeting Mercy McCarthy!

I really enjoyed visiting Shamrock Cove, Ireland again. I enjoy the relationship between Mercy and Lizzie, and the other residents in the court.  I also love how the tension between detective inspector Kieran and Mercy slowly keeps building throughout each book.  I’m hoping they become an item in next book.

It was entertaining, full of twists and turns and I didn’t completely guess whodunnit until Mercy did.  
I highly recommend this series to all my cozy loving friends and I can’t wait for book 6 to come out!
