DI Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price are called to a murder scene. A woman's body has been found on the beach with a cryptic message in her mouth, lines from a poem.
The team uncover secrets kept from the woman's family, and then another body is found.


I enjoyed this, the second that I have read in this series. Lauren has made a lot of headway in slotting in with her team, and becoming popular.
She is growing closer to Matt, and I wonder if there is a budding romance in the offing? Will have to wait and see!!

With lots of twists and wrong turns, the team uncover a lot more than murders.

Thanks to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read this book.

I enjoyed the plot very much! I also found it good that the police team got on well with each other. However, I found the narrator rather irritating in the overall dull and flat comments about the investigation and people 's feelings. That was a shame.
I received a digital copy of this novel from NetGalley and I am leaving voluntarily an honest review.

A woman is found on the shore with a cryptic quote stuffed in her mouth. Matt and Lauren have developed a good working relationship as DI and DS and the whole team has gelled into a cohesive unit. I enjoyed the camaraderie and respect they are showing each other. When a second woman is found, the team must uncover the murky motive.
I enjoy this series and it has become one of my favorites. The characters, the countryside, and the mysteries all draw you into the story.
Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest opinion.


I really wanted to like this book, but unfortunately in a rare moment for me, I had to dnf this at ch 10 (27%). The book just wasn't flowing for me, and the writing did not hold my interest. This is about a young woman who was found strangled to death on a beach in the UK, and the police are trying to find out who could have done this to her, while uncovering her "secret life" of being a fisherwoman (something she was hiding from her parents). The premise seemed interesting enough, but the writing itself was too distracting for me, as it felt very disjointed. That's not something I would have expected for a third book in a series. However, if you're a Sally Rigby fan, you may in fact love Murder at Land's End.

When the body of a young woman is found by the coast in Land’s End, Cornwall, Detective Lauren Pengelly and her deputy Matt Price are first on the scene. Sophie Bethany Yates was well known around the docks, a pretty girl from up the coast, always dreaming of something more. As locals jostle the barricades for a better look, whispers go round that Sophie’s boyfriend Samuel was more than capable of murder! Great read! This book had a bit of everything! It had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a great who done it and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! I definitely recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Another fantastic Cornwall book. A fast paced thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page!

This is the 3rd in this particular series by Sally Rigby, and it’s another cracking read. The main characters DI Lauren Pengelley and DS Matt Price are really working well together and their team is beginning to gel really well together. The murderer this time seems to be trying to make an issue of female fishermen working on some of the few remaining boats sailing out of Newlyn with sexism raising its head here. There are a few suspects but the enquiries are proving to be more involved than first thought. It’s a good police procedural with an array of leads going in various directions with the team really pulling together. Thoroughly enjoyed it as well as the taster for the next book by this author. Recommended.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Murder at Land’s End by Sally Rigby is book 3 in the Cornwall series, featuring DI Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price. Matt, his parents and Dani, his daughter, are preparing for a picnic on his day off. However, it was not to be, for Matt at least. A young woman’s body is found on the rocks at Land’s End. It is a difficult investigation as Sophie had a secret life which her family did not know about. But the team uncover something unexpected. So many secrets in people’s lives that don’t stay hidden when a murder is being investigated. It is great to see the change in Lauren over the 3 books. She is mellowing now, and it has made a great difference to the team dynamics and the sense of camaraderie amongst them all. It was interesting to read about the sexist attitudes in the fishing industry. I loved the inclusion of The Three Fishers’ by Charles Kingsley in its entirety at the end as it was mentioned during the book. There are certainly a few red herrings too. A great read.

Sally Rigby does it again! She's turned Cornwall into a hot spot of crime and murder. Where are all the tranquil sunny beaches from those glossy tourist brochures? Now there are dead bodies left, right and centre!
Lauren Pengelly and Matt Price head up a team who really should be out of their depth in a small Cornish town with this huge crime wave which seems to have arrived at the same time as Matt did.
There are more than enough red herrings as one might expect in a plot very much centred within the Cornish fishing community at Newlyn. As with all good crime novels the characters and plot reflect genuine concerns from the 'real' world.
Lauren and Matt are very strong characters and I look forward to following them in further additions to this series.
