I loved the fourth book in the series. Loved how it’s plays out in a Manor House. Really good read and easy to get into! Looking forward to a fifth one.

Having spent many Christmas' on Bodmin Moor where I grew up, I was wondering what this might be like. It did not disappoint.
All the perfect components for a cosy crime. I love Jodie as the detective, a strong female lead with lots of great gut instinct and a mission for justice.
Festive, fun and full of joy.

An interesting, cozy murder read based on the tried and tested crime scene of a large house in the middle of nowhere, guests stuck there during a snowstorm with the phones cut off, surprise guests turning up………. And a guest turns up dead the next morning. One of the guests must have committed the murder as the deep snow outside proves no one came or left the house during the night………. Can Josie solve the crime before the police arrive on the scene?
I’ve not read any of the Nosey Parker books before, but I really enjoyed this book. It kept you guessing until the end (although I did suspect the actual murder but couldn’t work out how they’d done it). A great read for those of us that love a good murder mystery but can’t cope with gory details. Fabulous!

I throughly enjoyed this entertaining book. The setting in Cornwall and a snow storm really gets you into a Christmas mood. Good story line and interesting characters. This was a delight to read and leaves you with a smile on your face.

Paranoia, deception and murder make A Cornish Christmas Murder a great read. Was invested from the beginning and could not put the book down. Loved the storyline and the well-crafted characters.

Great read!

Devoured this in one sitting; a lovely cosy murder was needed. I am now going to read the others in the series!

Thank you #Netgalley for the advance reader copy of A Cornish Christmas Murder by Fiona Leitch in exchange for an honest review. Jodie Parker and her family head over to Bodmin Moor to cater a charity event. It's three days before Christmas and snowing. The event is at a large, old Abbey. It's blizzarding outside, so they all spend the night. Jodie makes dinner for everyone and more people arrive because of the snow. The next morning, someone is found dead. Everyone is stuck in the Manor with a dead body, the roads need plowing before the police can get there. I like Nosey Parker mysteries. The predicaments she gets into, being an ex-copper, are fun to read. This was a great story.

I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley

I love how the author put this together! They were such a great dynamic and banter between the two main characters.

I received an advance copy of, A Cornish Christmas Murder, by Fiona Leitch. This is a short but sweet murder mystery. It kept me guessing.

Christmas is coming, it's snowed heavily, Josie Parker has a catering job at a 13th century decommissioned abbey on Bodmin Moor and life is good. Unfortunately,  new love DCI Nathan Withers is still in Penstowan but she's determined not to let that ruin her day.

When the weather takes even more of a turn for the worse and it becomes apparent no one is going home, Josie, daughter Daisy, her mum, and best friend Debbie, resign themselves to a night out In the middle of nowhere. Things go reasonably smoothly until, with phone reception sketchy at best and Nathan unable to help, they find a dead body.

This is the fourth in the Nosy Parker cosy mystery series and I loved every single word. The atmosphere and country house location are spot on, with a satisfying number of stereotypical characters and festive occurrences alongside surprises and a brilliant sense of laugh out loud humour throughout this is a joy. The icing on the Josie cake is the promise of book five in the early spring.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the opinions expressed are my own. This is such a fun Christmas novel, my favourite of 2021 by far, and I would happily read it at any time of year.

A Festive Treat….
Book four in the Nosey Parker series of cosy mysteries featuring Jodie Parker (Nosey). Our protagonist has left the Metropolitan Police and returned to her Cornish hometown, along with daughter Daisy, and an ambition of starting a catering company, an ambition that is now well underway. However, life has been nothing like the relaxing and quietly content picture she envisioned and, from the start of her move, murder has been most definitely on the menu. This time Jodie is ensconced in a snowed in country Manor House with her team, a group of guests and a murderer. Inevitably, chaos ensues. Enjoyable, fun read with a likeable protagonist and a colourful cast of supporting characters. A festive treat.

An excellent addition to the Nosey Parker series, which goes from strength to strength. Leitch's writing is clever, funny, and warm-hearted. Her cast of main characters are endearing and fully fleshed out, particularly Jodie, who reads like one of my best girlfriends - relatable, human, hilarious. The mystery is fabulous and I enjoyed the ride of discovering whodunnit and of course, Christmas! So much thought and care has gone into making this a fabulous festive read.

Highly recommended and can't wait for the next one.

I really quite enjoyed this book and found the characters very likeable. I am eager to read all the other books in the series.

What a fantastic addition to the series! Nosey Parker is certainly back with a bang! Well, not literally a bang since the victim was killed by a sword and not shot... Anyhoo! I have been waiting for the next book in the Nosey Parker series for over six months now and boy, was I excited when I learned A Cornish Christmas Murder will be released soon! Yes, Yes, Yes!

It's been just two months since Jodie and Nathan have started dating but Shirley (Jodie's mum) has already been planning to buy a wedding hat! Daisy, Jodie's daughter has discovered a new talent - clicking photos and of course, playing an amateur sleuth. Blame it on her genes, yeah? Mum's an ex-cop and gramps was a cop too.

This time, we have a locked-room mystery - a man is killed medieval-ish style, with a sword stuck into his body. Ouch! The atmosphere is dark and gloomy, the visitors to the Victorian mansion (including Jodie, Debbie, Shirley and Daisy) are snowed-in. With a murderer in their midst! Things are certainly tense...pretty tense! While the local police try to make their way to the crime scene - the roads are blocked, you see - Jodie forms a team of amateur sleuths - Lily, Debbie, Daisy and Shirley - famous five, reinvented!

I absolutely loved every bit of A Cornish Christmas Murder. The story is quirky, a tad emotional and of course, whole lot of fun! I couldn't guess the identity of the perp and the way in which the victim was killed (since the discovery of the body, Jodie has a hard time imagining how the victim might have been killed). Also, speaking of old buildings, there are a lot of unexplored secret passages - now, doesn't this add a twist to the mystery?

A Cornish Christmas Murder is a perfect read for Christmas - well, if you are like or Shirley, you would prefer action over Christmas romance, wouldn't you?

Wouldn't you just know it? It's snowing, and Jodie "Nosy" Parker and her family are stuck on a catering job on Bodmin Moor. In an old Abbey.

By the following morning, one of the guests is dead. The police can't get there, so it's down to Jodie to start investigating until they arrive.

For me, the who was obvious. The why certainly wasn't.

A great addition to the series
