This is a strong police procedural ideal for readers who like to be taken along the investigation journey very clearly. I found some of the process a bit hard to believe - the perpetrators were so quick to reveal all - but enjoyed the interplay between characters and seeing how they went about solving the case.

DI Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price are part of the current Penzance Major Crimes team which is down one member who has a broken leg. At the same time, Ellie, a police computer genius and one of Matt's former colleagues in Lenchester is in town to recover from a very bad break-up. Ellie is asked to work as a per diem and her work is even better than the hype. Good thing, because a brutal murder of an ex-cop complete with calling card note pinned by knife to body turns out to be the first in serial murder. Ellie soon uncovers the relationship between the victims and a case from 30 years ago, then it seems that there might be some involvement with the Chief Constable. Fast paced with tension that just keeps ratcheting up along with the suspense.

The Camborne Killings is book 4 of the Cornwall Murder Mystery.
I haven’t read any of the previous 3 books in the series and read book 4 as a stand alone. It does work as a stand alone but as book 4 was so good, I would now like to read all 4 in the series.
The Camborne Killings is an addictive crime thriller that you won't want to put down; I finished it in two sittings.
I did have a strong suspicion as to who was responsible for the murders from early on and was delighted to learn I was actually correct. However, the author leads you down a twisty plot to throw you off track.
Are the murders related, what’s the significance of 10 Green bottles….? The number of murders the killer is planning on or do they have a deeper significance…?
You’ll have to read for yourself to find out.
This is an excellent read and I’m now looking forward to reading the other 3 books in the series.

The Camborne Ks by S. Rigby, published by Storm Publishing, is book 4 in the Cornwall M Mystery.
Detective Sergeant Matt Price and Detective Lauren Pengelly are investigating a series of crimes and take the reader along. Fast paced, complex and nailbitingly unputdownable can this book easily be read as a stand alone. Anyway, I recommend to read the books in order.

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 13th Sept. I devoured this book in a day and loved the duo Lauren and Matt solving this case. This book was chilling and electrifying it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout!

I love both the characters Matt and Lauren. This book had it all from police corruption to treachery and everything else in between! As the book progressed I wondered who was guilty or innocent- I thought I guessed correctly but I was so wrong!

The ending was such a shocker I had to read it twice! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars I can’t wait till the next book comes out! 😊

Absolutely awesome! I'm really enjoying this series and I blitzed through this book in two afternoons. The characters are great and the mysteries are intriguing. This time we have someone killing off ex-police who were involved in a case from 30 years ago, a corrupt policeman, and revenge. Lauren, Matt and the team are hard pressed to unravel all the strands in this case. A collegue from Matt's past at Lenchester also joins the team for this case and proves to be worth her weight in gold. I can't wait for the next book in this series!
Thanks to Netgalley, Storm Publishing, and Sally Rigby for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Matt’s friend and former co-worker Ellie comes for a visit just as Matt is pulled into a murder investigation. A former police officer has been brutally murdered and a cryptic note is found next to the body. The investigative team is down a member and Ellie, a super talented computer researcher, steps in to help. The mystery is extremely well-done and I had no idea who was guilty! I love this series and this book kept me riveted!
Thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC.

Sally Rigby's new thriller is not to be missed. It gripped me from the very first page and refused to let go. The plot is complex and clever with Sally's usual body count threatening to get higher than ever.
When it comes to crime fiction writers Sally Rigby has established herself as one of the very best in the business and still manages to add something new and exciting with every subsequent publication.
Lauren and Matt are great characters and make a brilliant team, and now they are joined by Ellie who has already made her mark elsewhere.
The pacing is faster than ever with a killer who leaves a deadly calling card and might just be able to outwit them all.
