I found this a gentle easy read although advertised as a crime thriller.
That said i did enjoy it. Set in Cornwall, interesting characters and a decent storyline.
Part of a series written by this talented author but could easily be read as a stand alone..
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

I read this very quickly, as the writing is not complex (and, at times, overly simple), but the storyline was generally engaging. With former police being killed and few clues, the DS (Matt Price) and DI (Lauren Pengelly) hold several brief interviews with minimal progress, but each time they return to the station, the leads almost magically appear courtesy of a visiting constable doing the computer research. These and other instances lacked depth, but did create interesting developments in the plot. The ending did not surprise me, but there were details I could not have guessed. Overall, I easily entered the world of the Penzance Police and escaped my own.

Thank you to Storm Publishing, Netgalley, and the author for early access to this novel.

My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, Storm Publishing, for letting me read and review an advanced copy of this book, ‘The Camborne Killings’, by Sally Rigby.

This is another great British ‘whodunit’ by Sally Rigby, with Detective Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price, along with his friend, Ellie, who is visiting, but takes an active roll. The murder of a retired cop is bad enough, but a note left beside the body insinuating that more killings are yet to be committed is troubling. As they find more retired officers being killed, the team discovers one of their own might be involved, and there is a mad dash to wrap up the case, before this serial killer claims more victims.

The plot is intriguing, the characters are believable, and the setting in Cornwall is nice. There is a nice plot twist, as well.

Picking up the next in the series with Detectives Lauren Pengelly and Matt Price was like picking up a conversation with some old friends.

The detectives are called to investigate a murder of a former police office - and the scene isn't pretty. She'd been beaten and strangely, there was a line from an old English nursery rhyme with the body. After finding another officer murdered (and yes, another line from the same nursery rhyme) the team realizes they may be dealing with a serial killer and need to act quickly before more people are killed. They have to uncover all of the connections and make some uncomfortable inquiries.

While I did have the ending fairly well worked out by the mid-point, I still found the book incredibly enjoyable.

Thanks to NetGalley, Storm Publishing and Sally Rigby for the eARC.

This was a great read! Fast paced, gripping from the very start and the characters are really well written; relatable, believable and likeable - except for the ones we’re not supposed to like!

A body is found, gruesomely murdered, with a note that simply says “10 green bottles”. Police detectives Lauren and Matt know how the song goes and know they have to act fast before the countdown continues and the body count rises.

This is the first book I have read in this series and whilst there is a little history between the characters that I am not aware of, it was minimal and didn’t affect my enjoyment of this book, which worked really well as a standalone. That said, I will be grabbing the first three books as I’m interested in the rest!

The plot is so good with a balance of police procedural and the personal lives of the main characters. Some brilliantly executed twists that kept me on my toes!

5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Sally Rigby and Storm for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Set in Cornwall, filled with interesting characters, this is another good read in the series featuring DI Lauren Pengelly. The plotting is excellent and the pace just zips along nicely, with plenty of tension throughout. A very enjoyable read. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

The Camborne Killings by Sally Rigby is the fourth in this series and I could not wait to read this book in the series. I was not disappointed as the characters are great and the plot is complex and intriguing. The team of police led by Detective Lauen Pengelly and DS Matt Price soon get a call in the small Cornish town in Penzance that they have a body which they quickly identify as Carmel Driscoll who was a former police officer. They find a cryptic clue by the body with Ten Green Bottles written on it. When a second body is found Lauren and Matt realise, they could have a serial killer on their hands as this body is also another retired police officer and has 9 Green Bottles on the body.
It is now obviously urgent to the team to solve these murders quickly as somebody is targeting retired police. What cases are linked to the retired police officers when they worked together and what links them together. Luckily, they have Ellie who is filling in for Tasmin who as broken her leg. Ellie is also friend of Matt’s and is on holiday unthankful she has agreed to help as Ellie is a computer genius and will be a big asset helping find the missing links.
This book will have you glued to your seat as the story is engaging and intriguing as you follow the team who discover it could be one of their own with corruption involving a high ranking official. Lauren and the team must Tread carefully as they try to find out what links the official to this case and could they be at risk from the killer, or could they be involved in these murders.
A Truly brilliant read which is fast paced and full of twists and turns with great characters. It is a pulse ponding suspense and a gripping thriller that will keep you riveted till the last page. I cannot wait for the next one in this series to be released. Definably a hit if you love a great police procedural book which is addictive from page one. Thanks to NetGalley and to the publishers of this book for giving me a free advance copy of the book to preview and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book was not the ‘unputdownable thriller’ I was hoping for. I didn’t find it exciting or thrilling, and I felt the writing was amateurish and not what I would expect from a best-selling author. It was just about OK but I was glad when I’d finished reading it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the early copy and sorry that I can’t recommend it.

The Camborne killings is my first introduction to both the Cornwall series as the author Sally Rigby. I don't know how I managed to miss this one until now.
When a retired former WPC is murdered in her own barn DI Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price and their team start to investigate what seems to be a serial killing in the making (a note has been left with the body that quotes the nursery rhyme 10 green bottles, implying that it will count down).
The team is short staffed because one of the officers has broken her leg in several places and is out for the count for at least 6 weeks. Luckily a former colleague of DS Price is on holiday visiting him and willing to step in. Pretty soon more bodies start to turn up with the same MO, confirming the notion that there is indeed a serial killer on the loose. When all the victims turn out to be former police officers the focus of the investigation shifts to a former case and a very unexpected suspect in high places. But when you think you suspect where this is going to there are some unexpected twists.

I really liked this book, it has nice characters, a good plot, unexpected twists and red herrings and enough suspense so you want to keep reading without pause. Would have liked to have a bit more couleur locale and descriptions of Cornwall although I do realise it's not a travel guide ;-)

Four stars for this one and I'm looking forward to reading more books by this author.
Thank you Netgally and Storm Publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book in return for my unbiased review.

This is the 4th book in the Cornwall Murder series with DI Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price but can be read as a standalone. Lauren and Matt are great characters and make a great team of detectives.

A nice easy read with a good plot. It started with one killing with a cryptic note of “ten green bottles” found on the victim, which is an ex police officer.

Absolutely awesome! Loved it! Can’t wait for next book

Thank you to Netgalley and Storm Publishing

I love Cornwall and have read the previous books in this series so obviously had high expectations

This didn't disappoint I loved it. Really engrossed from the beginning to the end

Thanks for the opportunity to review

Detective Lauren Pengelly and Matt Price , her partner, are called to a remote farm to investigate the murder of an ex police officer. By her body is a note with the beginning of the nursery rhyme - ten green bottles.
Then another note beginning nine green bottles - next to the body of another ex police officer.
A serial killer is on the loose.
As the case is investigated it seems there are connections to a closed cold case but can they solve it before further deaths occur.
I enjoyed this so much I have read the whole series!

This book was gripping and hard to put down. It didn't feel like everything else you see out there, it felt very fresh. I really enjoyed this book!

Thank you to Storm Publishing for the arc, and Netgalley.
Detective Lauren Pengelly is back on the case with DS Matt Price, unravelling a shocking series of crimes amidst the rugged beauty of Cornwall's wind-swept coasts and picture-perfect villages.
This book was exciting from the off with three murders taking place in quick succession, and various suspects but the end plot twist was the icing on the cake.
Rigby draws you in from the opening paragraph and has you hooked til the very end.
DCI Pengeny and her colleague Matt are likeable characters and work great together both in and out of work. I'm wondering if a romance might blossom in the next book.
A fantastic crime mystery thriller not to be missed
Kerry Kennedy Author

On a damp, chilly morning in the Cornish countryside, a woman lies dead. A blood-stained note lies by her side with a knife piercing it to the ground. The victim is identified as a former police officer. The cryptic note by her side was a saying from an old English nursery rhyme that read ten green bottles.
After a second former police officer is found dead with a similar nine green bottles, detectives Lauren and Matt fear that they are dealing with a serial killer.
When Lauren and Matt soon discover that the murders are linked to corruption involving the highest members of their police division and that the killer may be someone within their own group, they desperately move ahead to find the killer before she or another member of her staff are the next victims.

This is #4 in the Cornwall Murder Mystery series, but can easily be read as a standalone.

DI Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price are called out when a woman is found murdered in her barn, and they discover that she’s a retired police officer. There is a note beside her, pinned to the ground with the murder weapon, which says, “Ten Green Bottles”. Soon after, a second body is found and, again, the woman was a retired police officer. The note pinned beside her – saying, “Nine Green Bottles” – confirms that the perpetrator is the same in both cases, and may well be targeting police officers.

During their investigations into both murders, Lauren and Matt come across the possibility of police corruption in their own force. Is someone at risk or are they involved in the murders?

A brilliant and gripping read, which I read in record time.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an advance reader copy in return for an honest review.

Corruption, Bribery, Revenge and Murder are all what Detective Inspector Lauren Pengelly and Detective Sargent Matt Price are up against in
this fast paced police procedural.
Former police officers are being killed and the motive is elusive. Only with the help from an unlikely tech guru are the crimes eventually tied to a more shocking case. A good mystery with a cast of characters that work well together and are disciplined in their quest to bring down a high ranking official. Thank you Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the early copy. This review is my opinion.

A really nice easy read with a good plot. It starts with one killing which has the obvious worrying makings of a set of serial killings when a note saying ‘ten green bottles…’ is found on the victim. To make matters worse as the victims mount up it seems they have other connections, not least that they’re all former police who used to work together. I liked the way that the tension built up well and that brave subjects were tackled as parts of the plot (no spoilers) pushing the investigation team into muddy waters. The characters in the book were interesting, if a little pushing realms of believability in terms of loans and secondments but hey ho a bit of fun. Perfect as a holiday read as I breezed through it quickly and it was enjoyable.

An ex policewoman murdered in a barn starts a possible career ending case. The motive not apparent at first, until bodies start piling up. This book took the team in a hunt for a motive from the past, with a possible link to a superior officer. Another one sitting read as just one more chapter became another. The characters are well written with outside lives so it's not just the current case taking over the book. A great read in my opinion

A fast paced story with alot of twists. I really enjoyed this book another great edition to the series. Thankyyou netgalley for allowing me to read this
