Nosey Parker, Book 7

By: Fiona Leitch

Narrated by: Zara Ramm

Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker is back to solve another Cornish murder mystery, perfect for fans of Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club…

'Leitch crafts a Cornwall that I want to live in – vibrant, funny and dripping with mystery and mayhem. Brilliant’ Jonathan Whitelaw, author of The Bingo Hall Detectives

‘A terrific summer read… a thumping good whodunnit; this is a murder mystery that wears a flower in its hair and invites us to kick off our shoes’ J.M. Hall

‘The book equivalent of catching up with your favourite old friends over a glass of wine or three… the observational humour is spot on’ Jo Middleton

‘[A] fun, feel-good factor and an intriguing mystery to be solved. And pies. I loved it’ Stephanie Austin, author of the Devon Mysteries series

Just along the coast from Penstowan, the local festival has filled the area. Former Met police officer Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker has agreed to step in and help run the Pie Hard food truck, along with her rather reluctant fiancé, DCI Nathan Withers.

As they prepare for a weekend of camping and being elbow deep in shortcrust pastry, Jodie hadn’t bargained on witnessing a fight between members of the lead band.

But when the body of one of the band members is found not far from the campsite, Jodie finds it hard to believe it was an accident. Especially when the other members had so much to gain…

Great Characters

love this series and love the dynamic of the characters with the local coppers. Read!

witty with plot twists

I enjoy this author and the narrator. The plot is interesting, the characters are funny and real, with depth.

the food

A little confusing on the characters but interesting. I had to keep listening in order to understand who was whom. These stories are starting to grow on me.

Got it

This is the first in the series that I solved early on. I refuse to believe she is losing her touch. I love this series. I really want to see where things go with Joe.

Love this!

I truly enjoyed the seventh book in this series. The author and narrator are brilliant. I find myself listening to this series repeatedly. It is quite funny in parts. It would be a very entertaining series for British tv on Acorn.
I hope the author continues to write more books in the series, but doesn’t advance the years at all in the ages of the characters. I would have preferred that no more than a year or two passed from the first book to the seventh. I don’t understand why she advanced the characters in years so quickly. It was unnecessary to the storyline. That was the only aspect that disappointed me. Otherwise, I highly recommend this cozy mystery.
