I binged the first six of these books a while back and had so much fun with this cosy mystery series, with Jodie 'Nosy' Parker, the ex-cop turned caterer who can't help but get involved in the investigations for the local murders. It's obviously in the blood with her father having been pretty high up in the forces, too.
This time, Jodie and her partner, Nathan, a DI, are operating a catering van for a friend at a festival. The only crimes should be how many pies people are eating, Jodie trying to keep an eye on her teenage daughter, with all the drugs flying around.
But that wouldn't be a Cornish mystery, would it?
Playing at the festival is one of Jodie's teen idol bands, and once she gets over her fangirling moment, she's knee-deep in another investigation, as an ex-band member is found dead.
Is it murder or an unfortunate accident?
Well, I shan't tell you because what would be the point of your reading the book?
But it was fantastic to be back with Jodie and the crew, including her daughter and mother, and their dog, as they spent the weekend slumming it (Unless, like Jodie's mum, you were in a luxury yurt!) experiencing festival life, as well as investigating said death.
Again, Fiona, you made me hungry with the food you described!
It's a brilliant addition to the series, and I hope we hear more from Jodie and her crime-busting!
Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins UK, One More Chapter for an ARC.

This author is brilliant. A really charming series that gets better every book. Love the characters and the settings and the crimes that are solved. A perfect stress free read that I love and really do anticipate each new book - can’t wait for the next one !

A fun sweet read! Highly recommend.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my ARC.

Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for a review.

I think this is the 7th in the Nosey Parker series but I enjoyed it every bit as much as the others. Jodie and Nathan are helping a friend out with a catering truck at a festival. What can possibly go wrong.......

This is book 7 of a series I love, Fiona is a clever writer with a lighthearted, self-deprecating humor, and though I don’t agree with every decision her characters make, there is warmth among the family and friends. And the mysteries are solid. Plus Cornwall. Plus good food. I will continue to enjoy and recommend this series.

The Cornish Campsite Murder is yet another confirmation of Fiona Leitch talent to write a good, enjoyable and engaging cosy mystery.

Jodie Parker, our caterer, and her fiancé, DI Nathan Withers are on holiday, but to help a friend they go to a musical festival to replace him selling his pies. They are busy selling food for the party goers' souls and having a good time with their friends and family, until a body resurfaces on the shore and they have to go back to their first job Nathan as a DI and Jodie as an amateur sleuth.

I like this series. The characters are funny and chaotic, they have some true and genuine relationships that always put me in a good mood.
In this installment I have noticed that Jodie seems less nosey, maybe because Nathan lets her snooping around trusting her intuition. They have built a solid relationship, becoming such a tightly-knit and enviable couple.

I would totally recommend reading this book.

The Cornish Campsite Murder is yet another fantastic, quirky, and engrossing addition to the series and my new favorite!! The story is set at a campsite hosting a musical weekend and is filled with the delightful shenanigans of the Parker women - Jodie, her mother Shirley, and Jodie's daughter Daisy.

What could possibly go wrong at a musical event? A murder, of course!

The mystery behind the death - accident or murder? - kept me guessing until the end. The plot thickens and the suspense builds to perfection! Each band member had a motive and the opportunity to get rid of the victim, but they all seemed to have airtight alibis.

Plenty of red herrings and a side story related to the victim kept me hooked, constantly guessing. Was it an accident? Or murder? This question lingered until the latter part of the second half of the story.

The denouement came as a huge surprise, complete with a dash of dramatics. Fiona Leitch's excellent storytelling and quirky characters shine through this novel. I've come to love every character in the series, not just the main ones but the supporting cast as well.

If you're looking for a quirky, cozy mystery that keeps you guessing until the end, give Fiona Leitch's The Cornish Campsite Murder a try.

A Cornish Campsite Murder is the 7th book in The Nosey Parker Cozy Mystery series.
I started reading this series as I am fortunate enough to live in Cornwall, and am drawn to books based in my home county. Unlike some books I have read, this series really does capture the essence of Cornwall from the descriptions, to the place names, to the quirky characters.

Jodie (Nosey) Parker is an ex Metropolitan Police officer who seems to always find herself involved in investigations that she really should stay away from!

This time she is with her fiancé DCI Nathan Withers at a music festival set on the Cornish Coast. When a body is found on the beach, Jodie just can’t help herself and once again, gets embroiled in the investigation.

A very enjoyable cosy mystery, I look forward to Jodie’s next adventure! 4*

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance copy in return for an honest review.

The Cornish Campsite Murder takes place at a music festival and Jodie (Nosey) is running the pie truck for a friend. She is surprised to realize that the couple she catered for earlier in the year were actually members of the band that she loved as a teen. The band is missing its lead singer, so they are a minor attraction instead of a headliner. There are bad feelings between the singer and the rest of the band, and when he is found dead, they become suspects.
Jodie and her friends are a lot of fun to read about, especially Shirley(Jodie’s mum) and Daisy (her daughter). The setting is unique and the mystery well done.
Thanks to Harper Collins UK and NetGalley for the ARC.

Set at a music festival/surf competition on the Cornish coast near Penstowan, former police officer now chef Jodie Parker, can’t keep her nose out when a body is found near the campsite. She’s supposed to be running a pie truck with her fiancé, DCI Nathan Withers, but a possible murder is way more interesting. While trying to keep an eye on her teen daughter, her mother and her dog, she does her best to investigate.
This is part of a series but no need to read the others in order to enjoy. A large cast of characters but easy to keep straight, Jodie was down-to-earth, friendly and fun.
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for this DRC.

Great addition to a fun series. The music festival was a fun summer affair until the probable murder was discovered. Then former police Josie and her DCI fiance find that there is more to helping out a friend with his food truck besides naming all the pies after people and places relevant to the film DIE HARD. Have some grand groans and snickers while Josie's mom drives them nutz with her Glamping friends as you try to solve it before the constabulary.

A couple, one current and one former police, operate a food truck for a friend during a weekend music festival. One of the performers, who had backed out of his commitment, attends the festival anyway in order to confront his former band mates. When he later turns up dead, was it an accident, or murder?

This was an average read with a slow start. Once the incident happened, the pace picked up a bit, but it still barely held my attention to the end. There were so many characters with odd names and intersecting histories that it was a bit difficult to keep them straight.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This was my first time reading a book from the author but I am delighted to say I thoroughly enjoyed the story and I look forward to reading more books from the writer in the future..

I was so excited to read this latest book in the series, I absolutely love Fiona’s writing and wasn’t disappointed. Anyone who enjoys a light hearted cozy murder is sure to enjoy it too. Already looking forward to the next one! Thank you #net galley

A Cornish Campsite Murder” the 7th instalment in The Nosey Parker Cozy Mystery series by Fiona Leitch. I cannot get enough of this series, if you love mysteries set in England this is for you!

I love visiting Cornwall and Jodie, Daisy, and her mum but let’s not forget about Germaine the Pomeranian! This time we are attending the annual music festival with it seems like the whole family and friends in one capacity or another. I like where Jodie’s relationship with Nathan is going and the dynamics between him and Daisy as well as Jodie’s mum.

The mystery was really interesting, well plotted, and had just enough twists to keep you engrossed and wanting to know what happens next. I really hope there will be a book 8 coming out soon, as I can’t get enough of this series.

I recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.

I requested and received an Advanced Readers Copy from Harper Collins UK. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this cosy murder mystery involving Jodie Parker and her partner, DCI Nathan Withers. Jodie is not looking forward to running a pie truck at a local music festival for a friend until a murder occurs and naturally both soon find themselves embroiled!

I enjoyed meeting the supporting cast again and found the murder investigation interesting and well plotted.

Although an enjoyable read - I will look out for more!

Mobile caterer Josie 'Nosey' Parker doesn't like festivals. The music and atmosphere are great but don't get her started on the accommodations, and the toilets? Eww, disgusting! So why is she running a friend's food truck at Wave Masters just outside Penstowan? Maybe it's because daughter Daisy is experiencing everything festival for the first time, mum Shirley is there with a new friend, and it means she can enjoy an uninterrupted weekend with her police detective fiance, Nathan!

Things get far more interesting when Josie witnesses a bust up between members of one of the bands but discovering a body definitely wasn't on her menu especially as Nathan's holiday seems likely to be seriously curtailed! As clues and accusations fly it isn't long before she's helping the police with their enquiries but thankfully from the right side! With a cold case and missing witnesses adding to her problems can Josie discover the killer before everyone packs up and moves on?

Book seven in this heartwarming, funny, and thrilling series is another brilliant outing into the life of main protagonist, ex-detective Josie Parker, and the wonderful Cornish countryside. With an investigation full of the twists and turns I've come to expect and fun new characters to read about it was still her mum and daughter who threatened to steal the show and the family dynamic was as enjoyable as ever.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Harper Collins UK, but the opinions expressed are my own. I thoroughly enjoyed this and with a further installment due out next year this is a great series which never disappoints.

I always look forward to a new book in the Nosey Parker series and this latest adventure for Josie and her fiancé, DI Nathan Withers did not disappoint. This time Josie is doing a favour for a friend and running a pie truck at the local music festival. She has dragged Nathan along as he is on leave. Naturally a murder occurs and Nathan has to investigate.
Josie is no longer part of the police force and so her personal life takes a larger part in this book which I enjoyed. She has concerns about a new friend who seems to be taking up a lot of her mother’s time as well as dealing with a teenager who wants more independence than Josie is willing to give. As the festival is local, many of the characters from previous books are present in this one and the cheerful dialogue between them provides a lot of the humour in the book.
The festival is well presented and as always, the coastal setting is an important part of the story rather than just being a pretty backdrop. I enjoyed the plot which centred on the death of a middle aged musician who was in dispute with his old bandmates.
This was a really enjoyable read and I look forward to the next adventure for Josie and Nathan.
Thsnks as always to Net Galley and the publishers, One More Chapter, for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. A great cosy mystery story full of twists and turns and obviously set in a fabulous location. I enjoyed it.
