A Siren’s call… to murder

Former Met police officer Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker is working a trial period as an auxiliary Detective Sergeant with the Penstowan police force. But living and working alongside DCI Nathan Withers – while still trying to grow her catering company – brings its own challenges, especially when Jodie’s attention is quickly taken up by the suspicious drowning of a local fisherman.

While tourists and locals alike are falling under the spell of the annual mermaid festival with its captivating legends of Sirens luring fishermen to their deaths, Jodie and Nathan fear they may have found themselves in the middle of a very real – and very dangerous – turf war. As the casualties start to stack up, they must face the likelihood that something sinister has been going on under their noses for some time…

Many twists & turns in this mystery

Like the repeat characters, they work well in the story. Unexpected solution to the murder. The romance in the book is very sweet.

Perfect narrator

Loved everything about this book and the series. Stories are original and I haven’t guessed the murderer yet.

Fun

I love listening to these books! They are fun, light , but a bit of who-done-it as well

I like this series …but

I like the characters and I like the series. Here’s my whine no cheese. Why oh why in these mysteries does every woman need a man to complete her. That’s the real mystery. You never see procedurals with men ALWAYS having a love interest. Why can’t women and men SOMETIMES just be friends? That would be far more interesting. Imho. Now the marriage. Eye roll.

A good edition to the series

Really enjoy the Cornish mystery books and this one did not disappoint,love the characters and the narrator is excellent.
