Another fabulous read in this series by Sally,
It is a fast paced story line but easy to follow. It has believable characters. I look forward to reading more.

I love this series! The characters are great, and I enjoy the crimes and how they are solved. Keep them coming. Sorry I was late reviewing this one, as I was visiting Cornwall, and just got back! I highly recommend this series, and it's best to read them in order.

This is the first book that I have read by Sally Rigby but hopefully it wont be the last, although it was the fourth in a series I didn't feel the need to have read the first three but I did feel that I wanted to. I like to see how the police put all the pieces together in solving murders. It was a great police procedural story with the team working together and achieving the right result. It had plenty of characters in play and I enjoyed the characters back stories, not too much but enough to allow you to get an idea of them. Interesting characters, gorgeous scenery that came to life and a brilliant plot.
I would thoroughly recommend it and enjoyed reading it.

This was a great police procedural story with the team working together and achieving the right result. Some great characters and a fast moving storyline. Very apt conclusion.

DS Matt Price had reluctantly left Lenchester and moved to Cornwall after the tragic death of his wife, it was where his parents lived and he needed help looking after his young daughter.
He had settled well into the team in Cambourne and worked well with his partner and boss, DI Lauren Pengelly.
DC Ellie Naylor, an ex colleague and close friend of Matt was taking a break in Cornwall after a distressing few weeks at home.
A phone call from DI Pengelley interrupted their catch up chat, they had a gruesome murder on their hands, Matt needed to work.
This murder was complicated, even more so when the victim was found to be an ex police officer, The small team at Cambourne were stretched after their computer expert had an accident, Matt convinced Lauren that, if she would agree, Ellie could be a great help, her computer skills were legendary. Both Lauren and the team were reluctant at first but Ellie soon proved her worth, this was the most delicate and convoluted case that the team had encountered, the body count started escalating, worryingly all ex police officers, what was their common denominator ? what linked them together ? how many more would die ?
As Ellie dug deep for information the team became more and more astounded and worried, the clues were leading in a direction that non of them wanted to follow.
This is a suspense filled story with many twists and turns, red herrings and wonderful characters, I will definitely look out for the next book in the series.
Thank you Storm Publishing and Net Gallery for this ARC, my review is totally voluntary.

Slightly simplistic police procedural murder story. A little too much dialogue and he said, she said for my taste. Not much tension or red herrings. Sorry but not my cup of tea.

A light but throughly enjoyable read. Will appeal to those readers for whom Scandi Noir is too much but are not yet ready for Cosy Crime.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.

Sally Rigby’s The Camborne Killings is a gripping addition to the Cornwall Murder Mystery series, delivering a potent mix of suspense, intrigue, and the atmospheric charm of Cornwall’s rugged landscapes. This fourth installment sees Detective Lauren Pengelly and her partner, DS Matt Price, embroiled in a chilling investigation that will keep readers captivated!

An eerie reference to an old English nursery rhyme sets the tone for a series of murders that are as perplexing as they are brutal. Rigby masterfully weaves together the threads of the investigation, creating a tapestry of clues that challenge the detectives (and the readers) to piece together the mystery.

What stands out in The Camborne Killings is Rigby’s ability to create a vivid sense of place. The windswept coasts and quaint villages of Cornwall are not just a backdrop but an integral part of the narrative, adding depth and authenticity to the story. 

Detective Lauren Pengelly is a compelling protagonist, balancing her sharp investigative skills with a deep sense of empathy. Her dynamic with Matt Price adds another layer to the story, as their professional and personal interactions provide moments of levity amidst the dark and intense investigation.

The plot is meticulously crafted, with twists and turns that keep the suspense high. Rigby’s use of the nursery rhyme motif is particularly effective, adding a haunting and almost poetic quality to the murders.

The Camborne Killings is a must-read for fans of crime thrillers and mystery novels.

Sally Rigby has once again proven her talent for creating intricate plots and memorable characters.

This book is a testament to her skill as a storyteller and her ability to captivate readers.

Lauren and Matt are back to solving a mystery involving the murder of ex police officers. It's in their own backyard, and all 3 officers served under their current boss. It was a sticky situation, but Lauren, Matt, and the team worked through the case. With lots of intrigue and fast-paced, this book was a great read. Now, I need to catch up on the previous books.

#netgalley #TheCamborneKillings

DS Matt Price and DI Lauren Pengelly join forces to bring down a murderer who killed their victim and left a note next to the body reading, 10 Green Bottles. The race is on to catch a killer before they can harm anyone else.

This was my first book by this author, I liked her writing style and was impressed with the twist at the end.

This book fell a little flat for me. I didn't really connect with the characters and the storyline dragged a little for me personally.

That being said, this is only one book of a series and I haven't read any of the previous three books. I imagine things would be different with more character background.

I would recommend reading this book, especially if you enjoy a good twist. I plan to go back and start at Book 1 because I do enjoy the writing style of the author and would like to know some of the history of these characters. Happy reading!

The Camborne Killings is book four in Sally Rigby's Cornwall Murder Mystery series; the first I have read. It is an intriguing page turner that hooked me from the first page to the last. Three ex- police officers are brutally killed, and at each murder site the knife used to kill was also used to pin down a note. At the first murder of Carmel Driscoll, the note simply said " Ten green bottles;" at Jayne Freeman's murder, "Nine green bodies," and at the site of Craig Garland's- no surprise- "Eight green bottles." Each victim had also been receiving anonymous emails simply stating: "watch your back." The team leading the investigation was made up of a very likable cast of characters: DI Lauren Pengalley, Detective Sergeant Matt Price, and Billy, Clem, and Jenna. A friend of Matt's from his former department, DC Ellie Naylorwas visiting, and as another team member was on medical leave she signed on temporarily to help as this was an all hands on deck priority case. It appears the three murdered officers were connected in the late 1990s when they worked in Camborne under the leadership of the current DCI Warren Johnson. Talk about a sensitive case, indeed it was. There were many twists and turns and surprises that kept me fully engaged and guessing the outcome. Thank you to NetGalley, Storm Publishing and Sally Rigby for the opportunity to read an ARC of The Camborne Killings, this review reflects my honest opinion. A very suspenseful read, 5 stars.

This is the first book that I’ve read in this series and it was excellent. I was drawn into the story right away. Detective Lauren Pengelly and her partner DS Matt Price are called into a murder in a barn. The knife the victim was stabbed with is present as well as a note saying “ten green bottles”. The team has a missing partner but an old friend of DS Price is called in to help. Unfortunately, it’s not long before the second “nine green bottles” victim is found. The common tie seems to be a stint in the same precinct. This is an involved mystery and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The third Sally Rigby book I have read and enjoyed. Affairs, gambling debts, murders, deception and corrupt senior police offers all add to the intrigue and enjoyment for me. Thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for the chance to ARC this book.

I hadn't read this author before and I was so thrilled to say that this won't be my last. I do love the different pace of a British crime force. It was enjoyable to see how the police put all the pieces together in solving these murders. What a tangled web it was with several players in place.
Interesting characters, gorgeous scenery that came to life and a brilliant plot.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Detective Lauren Pengelly and her partner DS Matt Price were called to a particularly brutal murder, with a message - Ten Green Bottles - near the victim. As Lauren and Matt began their investigation, they were concerned about that message, remembering the rhyme that went with it. With one of their team members off for some weeks due to injury, and Ellie, a DC from Matt's previous station, on a two week break to visit with Matt, they brought her on board to do the research. And it wasn't long before she had results.

Cornwall was a beautiful spot and the murders were hurting them all. With three people now dead, their connection had become clear - it was a matter of working from the other end, if they could. And what they found was horrifying. Could they confront this person and find the answers? It seemed to be uphill at the moment...

The Camborne Killings is #4 in the Cornwall Murder Mystery series by Sally Rigby and it was a great addition to the series. Lauren is losing some of her original grimness with her team - thanks I think to Matt - and the rest of the team work well together. Ellie was a big plus with her magical computer skills, and Matt's Dani is adorable, as are Lauren's two dogs. The Camborne Killings was a thoroughly enjoyable read and I'm looking forward to #5 already. Recommended.

With thanks to NetGalley & Storm Publishing for my digital ARC to read and review.

Another wonderful read by Sally Rigby. Lauren and Matt are thrown into a series of murders which look to be shaping into a serial murder.

As they delve deeper, a hidden internal connection comes to light and everything gets thrown for a loop. The writing was simple yet effective. I did feel there were some spelling errors in certain areas.

I'm not sure how I feel about the climax and resolution as it seemed a bit too convoluted. But I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book.

Lauren and Matt are well written characters along with the rest of the team. I however would have liked more work also done by other team members as it felt like they were just receiving information.

Overall a well written book. I am so looking forward to reading the next one.

I give this book 4 stars.

I thank NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the E-Arc and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I love reading books set in place I know well. Camborne in Cornwall is such a place, so I definitely had to read this particular book.

Detectives Lauren Pengelly and Matt Price are almost overwhelmed in their latest case where three people are murdered in rapid succession, and there are clues that there may be more to come. Even worse they discover that someone in the police force is selling information to crooks and a suspicion it may be someone high up. Lauren is obliged to practice a lot of diplomacy.

This was a very twisty book and the case was one that might not have been solved without a new addition to the team with computer superpowers. Every time they were stuck she came up with some leading piece of information she had discovered out there on the net. There are no such things as secrets any more!

An easy read with a nice setting and friendly characters. I will be looking out for #5.

4⭐️ Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an advanced copy of The Camborne Killings.

Lauren Pengelly and Matt Price are called to investigate a brutal murder of a retired cop. There is a note left with the body and it seems to allude to more murders on the horizon. Then in the coming days two more retired cops are murdered in the exact same way. They have found out that all of the murder victims worked together thirty years ago. Has someone from an old case come back to exact revenge? Can they find the killer before they strike again?

This is the fourth book in the Cornwall Murder Mystery series. I would suggest reading the other books in the series before reading this one because you get a lot of background on the characters. I really enjoyed this book. I did not see the twist coming!

Matt is being visited by a colleague from his old station when he is called away to a murder. An ex-police woman had been brutally murdered. To make matters worse, their researcher has broken her leg and won't be at work for a while. Luckily, Ellie, who is Matt's visitor is an excellent researcher and agrees to help them out. When a colleague of the murder victim is killed, they wonder about a worrying connection with the Chief Constable back in the 1990s. When a third victim is found it seems that they are right to worry.
Fast paced and easy to read, I liked this.

I enjoyed reading the book very, very much. DI Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price smartly worked well on the solution for the murders in the Camborne region. The story is full of twists and a very surprising end. DC Ellie Naylor's help was decisive for the outcome of the case.
