Summary
The pale outline of bones in the dew-laden grass catches and holds Lauren's gaze. In the distance, she can hear the faint sound of crashing waves and the eerie screech of seagulls. Whose life was so brutally cut short in this beautiful, lonely place?
Detective Lauren Pengelly has only been part of the Penzance police force for less than two years, but that’s enough time to know that the sleepy Cornish town doesn’t see many murders. So, when the bones of a woman with a hole in her skull are discovered behind a derelict cottage, she immediately assumes the worst.
Rallying her team, Lauren is flooded with a strange sense of relief when the bones turn out to be almost twenty years old, not a recent victim. But it quickly turns to dread when she receives her second heart-stopping call of the day–a little girl, Isla, has been kidnapped from her nursery and seemingly vanished, despite strict security in the building. Are the two cases connected, or could the peaceful town of Penzance be harbouring more than one monster?
With the help of Detective Matt Price, her newly arrived second-in-command, Lauren is certain the suspicious behaviour of Isla’s estranged father on the day of her disappearance is a critical clue. But when another little girl is taken, again from her nursery in the middle of the day, it’s clear Lauren and Matt are still dangerously far away from discovering the harrowing truth…
Get ready to be totally hooked! From the bestselling author of the Cavendish & Walker series, you won’t be able to put this murder mystery down. Fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel McLean and J M Dalgliesh will love it.

Exciting
I really enjoyed this story. The narration was simply outstanding however, I would like the chapters labeled differently perhaps with times rather than just the date. It wouldn't put me off reading other books in this series and can't wait for book two.

Another enjoyable Sally Rigby
Love Sally Rigby. This was her at her best. Lovely listen with just enough plot twists. Looking forward to the next one.

Another good listen
Another good listen from Sally and well narrated as usual by Claire Corbett who is a lady with a thousand voices, Pengelly is a good character but not as good Whitney Walker, now on to books 7,8 & 9 in the Cavendish and Walker series 😀

really enjoyed the story
Good plot and characters just wish that more research into police procedures was done to make it more realistic but enjoyable nevertheless

excellent narration
I enjoyed the book, it was an easy listen, for my travel to and from work. The characters were portrayed well and the storyline was good. The book could have gone into more detail about the characters but it didn't detract from thr story.

Not sure about this one
I usually enjoy the books by Sally Rigby but this one became a bit too far fetched about two thirds through. I then found it hard to engage with the story from that point on. I hope the next in the series will be better.

Wonderful!
As an Audible addict, good books seemed to have eluded me recently - was beginning to think I’d heard them all. This book was like a breath of fresh air after sitting in a stuffy room.
Fantastic narration too - Ms Corbett never fails to bring a book to life - especially ones with children in the storyline.
