Cornwall Murder Mystery #7
The Bones of Logan Rock
An archaeological dig on the wild Cornish cliffs was supposed to uncover ancient history. Instead, it has exposed a grave that was never meant to be found.
When human remains are found at the excavation site near Logan Rock in Treen, Cornwall, Detective Lauren Pengelly is called to investigate. These bones don't belong to some Bronze Age settler – they're the remains of a sixteen-year-old girl who vanished at a beach party in 1996, a night of bonfires, cheap cider and a killer who has gone unchecked for thirty years.
But before Lauren and her partner, DS Matt Price, can unravel the truth behind the girl's disappearance, another body is found at the base of the cliffs. Someone is willing to commit murder to keep the past hidden... and they're not finished yet. As the body count rises, Lauren must untangle three decades of lies before the killer silences anyone who might expose the harrowing truth.
Get ready to be totally hooked! Fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel McLean and J M Dalgliesh can't get enough of this series.

Intriguing murder mystery. I enjoyed the setting and the two main characters. Outstanding narration. I didn’t guess who the murderer was. Fast paced. I thought it was fascinating for the detectives trying to figure out if the current murders were related to the 30 year old murder. I would like to read the entire series. Highly recommend.
I was blessed with an ARC and borrowed the audio from my library. Thank you NetGalley. The opinions expressed are my own and unbiased.

I felt an immediate connection to these characters despite the fact this was not the first book in this series. I loved everything about the way this story was established and laid out for me. With each new detail and revelation I was pulled deeper into the past as it wove itself into the present while watching Detective Pengelly and her team slowly unravel the mystery.
The tension builds steadily with each turn of the page without ever feeling overdone or relying on cliches. I was repeatedly pulled to the edge then given respite before being pulled back again. That’s exactly what I look for in this kind of novel and it was done beautifully here.
And the setting. I do not have the words to fully capture how much it added to the experience. The author brings the location to life so vividly that it becomes a character in its own right, deepening the atmosphere and enhancing every moment of the story.
While this is not the first in the series, it is a complete standalone which made me love it all the more!

I really liked this, particularly the Cornish setting and the forensic angle, which made it feel a bit different from the usual crime read.
It begins with bones being uncovered during a dig near Logan Rock. At first they’re thought to be historical, but it quickly becomes clear they belong to a teenage girl who went missing years ago. What follows is a cold case that starts to unravel, with the sense that someone would rather it stayed buried.
I liked the way it builds. It’s not full of big twists, but there’s a steady tension running through it, especially once things around the dig start to escalate. It gives the whole story an uneasy edge.
The forensic side was a real highlight for me. The detail around the remains and how that feeds into the investigation added something extra, and worked well alongside the archaeological setting.
Lauren is a solid lead, calm and methodical. and the dynamic with Matt feels easy and believable without taking over the story.
The setting is fantastic. The coastline, the isolation, and that sense of history all add to the atmosphere and contrast nicely with what’s unfolding.
It slows a little in the middle, and some of the side characters could have been developed more, but overall it’s a strong, engaging read that comes together well.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

The Bones of Logan Rock by Sally Rigby is a Cornwall Murder Mystery, a series I have not read before but will read more of. This book is a modern police procedural involving the investigation of discovered bones buried for thirty years. The main detectives are DI Lauren Pengally and DS Matt Price. When they arrived at the scene, Dr Henry Carpenter, the pathologist was there, with a woman who turned out to be his wife, a forensic anthropologist. It was quickly determined that this was a girl about sixteen, enough to get her team started. It was the site of an archeological dig and so they notified the manager and arranged to talk to all of the employees of the dig. There just were no clues, but before they could turn around, the manager, Dr Trewin, was found dad, at the bottom of a gorge. It was an assumed suicide, but it didn’t take Dr Carpenter long to determine it was murder. Where the two related? Then another member of the dig was found dead. Now, they had their answer and the investigation began for real.
Lauren Pengally is a good leader; smart and kind. She and Matt work as a team most often, leaving the others behind to follow up on lesser leads. Matt is a young man who has a young daughter, Dani, left to him after his wife died. His mother took care of her much of the time, but Dani was constantly on his mind. This was a small police department but professional, none the same. Good characters. This is not the first of the series, but it is the first for me. It could be a stand-alone. The murders were rooted with the first one, the sixteen year-old, Ruth. All a sad affair that took some serious detective skills to sort out. This was a good, readable book full of interesting characters.

My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, Storm Publishing, for letting me read and review an advanced copy of ‘The Bones of Logan Rock (Cornwall Murder Mystery #7)’, by Sally Rigby.
When an archaeological dig on the rugged Cornwall coast finds bones quite a bit newer than expected, everything comes to a halt and the police have to be called in. Det. Lauren Pengelly, DS Matt Price, and the rest of their team were expecting a quiet week, but even a decades old suspicious death sets in motion an attempt to solve a mystery. The dig team members all deny any knowledge of the quickly identified victim from 30 years earlier, but the team of detectives quickly find out that some were near the sight during a solstice celebration. That is when an additional body is found at the dig site, and the investigation ramps up quickly.
I have read several books in this series and the author does not disappoint with this newest edition. Each member of the police team has skills that complement the others, as well as personal lives that add interest. This was another outstanding mystery by Sally Rigby.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to review this book. Number 7 in the series set in Cornwall, with DI Lauren Pengally and DS Matt Price lead a team at Penzance station. They are a close knit team that have developed nicely through the series. Although this book can be read as a standalone. At a local archeology dig, the bones of a young woman are found that are clearly not ancient. As the team investigate these bones another body is found. Are these deaths linked? If so, how and why? An easy read with a few twists, but not an unpleasant read.
I can recommend this book and in fact the series to lovers if crime fiction. I look forward to reading more from Sally Rigby.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
There is something deeply unwell about an archaeological dig casually uncovering a teenage girl instead of, I don’t know, a nice harmless pot. Like imagine signing up to gently dust off history and instead you unearth thirty years of lies and one extremely unresolved murder. I would simply fake my own disappearance and become someone new.
But no, in The Bones of Logan Rock, we say actually let’s call Detective Lauren Pengelly and emotionally devastate an entire coastal town instead.
And listen… this is book seven. Book. Seven. Did I read the first six? Of course not. Do I ever make good decisions? Also no. And yet somehow I walked into this like I’d been on the team payroll for years. The vibes were immediate. The chemistry was established. The group dynamic said, “we have history,” and I said, “great, I’ll emotionally invest anyway.” And now I’m sitting here like… cool, guess I have six books to go back and inhale because I’m attached.
We’re dealing with a girl who vanished in 1996 after a beach party that sounds like it started with bonfires and ended with at least one life-altering mistake. Thirty years later, her bones are found during a dig that was supposed to uncover ancient history, not recent tragedy. And immediately the past comes clawing back like, “remember me?” in the most threatening way possible.
Lauren and DS Matt Price step in, and what starts as a cold case very quickly refuses to stay cold. Because of course, someone out there is still invested in keeping this buried. Literally and emotionally.
And then the book goes, oh you thought we were just doing a sad excavation of old secrets? What if we also dropped a fresh body off a cliff? Just to keep things lively. At that point I knew I was not going to be allowed peace.
Lauren is that perfect steady center, calm, observant, and just quietly bulldozing through everyone’s nonsense. She feels like the kind of detective who would solve your murder and then gently suggest therapy for your unresolved childhood issues. Meanwhile Matt is out here juggling the case, his personal life, and suddenly flirting like a man who just unlocked a new side quest. The timing is insane. The energy is weirdly adorable. I support him.
And the team as a whole? Fully “we’ve been through things together” energy. They bicker, they support each other, they occasionally make questionable leaps, but it all feels lived-in. Like coworkers who have seen too much and now cope with mild sarcasm and shared trauma.
What really worked for me is how that one night in 1996 just lingers over everything. It’s not just a mystery, it’s this emotional fossil. Old friendships, buried resentment, guilt that never got processed because everyone collectively decided silence was a personality trait. And now Lauren’s here like, “absolutely not, we’re unpacking this.”
The suspects? A rotating cast of “hmm… you’re being weird about this.” Every time I thought I had it figured out, the story gently grabbed me by the chin and said, “look again.” It’s twisty without being exhausting, which is honestly a rare and beautiful skill.
There are a couple moments where the clues feel a little too conveniently timed and a few people seem suspiciously ready to spill their entire life story under pressure, but by then I was so emotionally invested I did not care. I was locked in. I was pacing. I was judging fictional people like it was my job.
Also, the Cornish cliffs? Fully doing the most. Windswept, dramatic, vaguely threatening at all times. If a setting could whisper “something bad happened here,” it would be this one.
By the end, everything comes together in a way that’s both satisfying and just a little bit haunting, which is exactly what I want from a book like this. It wraps up the mystery but leaves that emotional echo behind, like… cool, justice was served, but also everyone needs therapy immediately.
Four stars, no hesitation. And yes, I will absolutely be going back to read the rest because apparently I live here now.

And a chaotic thank you to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC, for emotionally wrecking me via seaside trauma and then just… letting me walk away like I’m fine. I am not fine. I am invested.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
I read this book as an ARC from NetGalley and this review is my honest opinion about this story based on my reading this book.
There is something about cold cases that immediately pulls me in and Sally delivers an absolute knockout on that front with The Bones of Logan Rock.
I was expecting this to be a solid crime read but what I got was a story that slowly builds its way into something much more layered and quietly intense and considering that this is a book that is a part of a long ongoing series, Sally delivers. The story opens with the discovery of human remains along the Cornish cliffs and from that moment, the tone is set. What seems like a historical find quickly turns into a much more recent decades old missing persons case and you just know things are not going to stay simple.
The investigation is led by Detective Lauren Pengelly, with DS Matt Price alongside her and I really enjoyed their dynamic. It feels natural at this point, not overdone, not overly dramatic, just a steady partnership that works. Lauren is focused and determined without being over the top and Matt balances her well. Their interactions give the story a strong backbone, especially as the case becomes more complicated.
What worked really well for me was the way the story moves between past and present. Each new piece of information feels like it is peeling back another layer and just when you think you are starting to understand what happened, something shifts. There is a quiet tension running through the book, especially as it becomes clear that the past is not as distant as it should be.
The setting also deserves a mention because it adds so much to the overall feel of the story. The Cornish coastline, with its cliffs and sense of isolation, creates an atmosphere that is both beautiful and slightly unsettling. It fits perfectly with the idea of long buried secrets coming back to the surface.
That said, the pacing does dip a little in the middle. There are a few moments where it feels like the story is circling before moving forward again. It never lost my interest, but I did find myself wanting things to pick up just a bit during those sections.
Overall, this was a really good read for me. Not quite a five star, but definitely a strong four. It is the kind of crime novel that focuses on character and atmosphere just as much as the mystery itself and I always appreciate that. If you enjoy cold cases and slow burning investigations with a strong sense of place, this is one I would definitely recommend.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (4.25/5)
I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for a good detective series—especially one that follows a compelling investigator you can really sink into over multiple books. Even though The Bones of Logan Rock is the seventh installment, I jumped in without having read the previous books and honestly, it didn’t hurt my experience at all. I was hooked almost immediately.
From the eerie setup of an archaeological dig gone wrong on the Cornish cliffs to the chilling discovery of modern human remains, this story pulls you in with a strong sense of atmosphere and mystery. The idea that a decades-old disappearance could resurface in such a dramatic way was instantly intriguing, and Rigby wastes no time building tension.
Detective Lauren Pengelly is exactly the kind of lead I enjoy following—sharp, driven, and layered enough to make me want to know more about her beyond just this case. Her dynamic with DS Matt Price adds depth without distracting from the central mystery. Even coming in late in the series, I felt like I could quickly understand and invest in their partnership.
The dual timeline element—linking back to a 1996 beach party filled with bonfires, teenage recklessness, and something far more sinister—was especially effective. It gave the story emotional weight and a lingering sense of unease. And just when I thought I had a handle on where things were going, another body turns up, raising the stakes and tightening the suspense.
What stood out most to me was how seamlessly the past and present intertwined. The pacing kept me turning pages, and the gradual unraveling of long-buried secrets felt satisfying without being predictable.
If anything, this book made me regret not starting the series sooner but in the best way. I’m now fully invested and definitely planning to go back and read the earlier installments to get more of Lauren’s story.
Final thoughts: A gripping, atmospheric crime thriller that proves you can jump into a series midstream and still have a fantastic experience. If you love cold cases, coastal settings, and determined detectives, this one is absolutely worth picking up.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
The Bones of Logan Rock by Sally Rigby is a highly recommended police procedural, cozy mystery, and the seventh book in the Cornwall Murder Mysteries series.
Human remains are found at the site of an archaeological dig near Logan Rock in Treen, Cornwall, but these remains appear to be more recent than the Bronze Age. Detective Lauren Pengelly and her partner DS Matt Price are called to the scene. It is later determined that the bones are those of 16-year-old Ruth Penrose,who disappeared after a solstice party thirty years ago. Then, during the investigation, the body of one of the archaeological dig team members is found at the base of the cliffs. It appears that someone has a secret and is trying to keep the past hidden. Lauren and her team need to work quickly before the body count rises.
This is another well-written police procedural and addition to the reliably entertaining Cornwall Murder Mystery series. The action moves at a quick pace while clues are logically followed and information and past connections are uncovered. The team focuses on the archaeological dig team members as they were friends from their university days. In this series, the police team relies heavily on intuition and instinct along with their investigation. There are several twists along the way as the inquiry proceeds. I did predict the direction things would go early on, but following the team is always satisfying.
Although I have been following the whole series, I believe The Bones of Logan Rock can also be read as a standalone novel. You may not know all the interpersonal connections, but there is enough information to follow all the characters and their relationships during the entertaining investigation. Thanks to Storm Publishing for providing me with an advance reader's copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary and expresses my honest opinion.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
An unsolved murder, an archaeological dig and a secret so carefully hidden make up the basis for The Bones of Logan Rock, a murder mystery that is a little bit of a slow burn but has an interesting plot line and a killer so well disguised it holds the story together.
Book seven in the Cornwall Murder Mystery series set in the beautiful area of Treen, Cornwall, Detective Laura Pengelly and DS Matt Price find they are facing more than just a cold case, they are facing a series of murders for no apparent reason.
Called to the archaeological site of Logan Rock when a skeleton is discovered, not a prehistoric one, a thirty-year-old one of a young girl, they are curious as to who it could be.
On the eve of the 1996 summer solstice local girl Ruth Penrose went missing. Her disappearance was reported to the police but as she had run away from home before they made the decision to list it as missing person. It would seem this skeleton was most likely hers and that she was murdered.
When a second murder occurs followed by a third, with so many leads trending back to the summer solstice of 1996 and a party on the beach to which most of the archaeological team attended, Laura and Matt begin to wonder what or who is behind all three murders. Could there be a connection.
Hunting through thirty year old evidence proves to be a serious challenge, but some good luck, along with some excellent computer work unearths very interesting information that may be just what they need.
A kidnapping, some deeply detailed police research and a race against time, see a killer who has no compunction about what have done and is about to do, is finally brought to justice.
Laura and Matt will soon have another mystery to solve along with some serious changes in the office, but readers will have to wait for their next thrilling case to find out exactly what comes next!

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read "The Bones of Logan Rock" in exchange for my honest opinion.
This is the seventh book in the Cornwall Murder Mystery series and each book gets better and better as we learn more about the characters and how much they have grown and changed since the first story in the series.
We start with the prologue on 21 June 1996. There is a group celebrating the solstice. We don't know who is feeling that something is off but they are secretly meeting someone.
In modern day on 19 May DI Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price are called to an archeological dig where skeletal remains where found. Dr. Eleanor Trewin director of the dig calls the police because she knows that the remains are too recent to have been there since ancient times.
Dr. Henry Carpenter the pathologist and his wife Dr. Claudia Harper a forensic anthropologist agree that the body could not have been there that long. We learn that they belong to a 16 year old female who went missing 30 years ago. They quickly realize that this was a murder because of her injuries and the fact that she was buried.
After they learn the identity of the young lady, they start talking to the workers at the dig. This must make someone uncomfortable because they soon have more bodies to investigate and a kidnapping. The conclusion of the story is very exciting and very well written.
There are changes coming to the team as well. They have grown so much since the first book and are like their own family and truly care about each other. Ms. Rigby has really developed the characters with care and each story is interesting. The descriptions of the Cornwall scenery are always vivid and the reader feels as if they are standing there watching the action as well.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
I enjoyed this book. I am a cozy mystery fan at heart, so it was a nice change to jump into a police procedural mystery, with one as good and capable as this team.
This might be book seven in the series but it was my first time joining the team and I can safely say I had no problems following along as they investigated. I think this was mainly due to the story mostly focusing on the investigation, with just enough home life drama for you to understand the detectives and make them human, without going into too much detail or stealing the focus off the victims. And there was a number of victims.
It starts when bones are discovered in an archaeological dig site but as the team investigates the bodies start to fall. It wasn't a complex case or motive but it was fun joining experts as they went about following the leads, instead of amateur sleuths bumbling along or breaking in to investigate places. They are a nice team, that work well together and with heart, especially with the victim and there families. A team I would join again.
Bones are expected to be found at an archaeological dig site but not bones that are obviously fairly recent. Detective Lauren Pengelly and her team are called in to investigate the cold case. They are quick to identify the victim as a teenager that went missing and the police wrote off as a runaway. When they discover she was last seen at a party, also attended by a number of the archaeologists that found the body, they have a small suspect list. A list that seems to be getting smaller, as bodies start to fall. Can Pengelly find the motive for the death and stop a killer before anybody else gets hurt?
I liked the narrator. She gave each character there own voice and made it a pleasant listen.

Bones from a decades old murder lead to fresh killings
The bones of Logan Rock by Sally Rigby starts us out with an old case. The bones discovered at the archeological dig are too recent to be a part of the dig,but they've been there for decades. We meet the murderer at the beginning of the book. He eludes us until we're near the end.
Sixteen year old Ruth Penrose is the victim. The last time she was seen was at a Solstice beach party. Most of the archaeological team were at that party. When Ruth failed to come home, the Penzance police department didn't do a real investigation because Ruth had run away from home before. DI Lauren Pengelly and her DS Matt Price are determined to correct that. They are shocked to find that the officers from back then never even questioned people close to Ruth. One of the best clues they got was a diary that Ruth's younger sister Jasmine had held onto
We get glimpses of Matt's personal life with his interactions with his little daughter Dani. It's not easy being a single dad and running off to investigate murders. I was a little unhappy with him at the end of the book when he promised Dani he'd play with her then got involved in phone calls that I didn't feel he needed to.
There's a wonderful crew back at the Police Station with Billy,the office clown, Clem, the office encyclopedia. Tamsin, who's going to be leaving to become a family liaison Officer. This is going to leave room for Ellie, from Matt's old office to join their crew. Billy is in love with her so it would make him happy and add extra intrigue to the next book
You'll want to keep moving from chapter to chapter as the murders add up and we see Lauren and Matt getting closer to closing the case

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
This is the seventh book in the series and while it’s possible to read as a standalone I really recommend you get your teeth into the whole series.
In fact this series seems to get better, the characters more cohesive as the series goes along. There seemed to much more of the Police procedural and rather less of the back stories of the team at Penzance Police station which made for an exciting read.
I found myself often sitting for ‘just another chapter’ till I found that I was at the end.
We meet Lauren Pengelly and Matt Price who have developed a working relationship where they know what the other is thinking. And then there is Tamsin, Jenna, Billy and Clem the rest of the team. Tamsin is interested in becoming a Family Liaison Officer and Billy’s, beau Ellie is interested in moving to Cornwall and changing roles.
This case involves a ‘cold’ murder investigation from 1996 when a body is found at an archeological dig near Logan’s Rock. Eleanor, Verity, Naomi.Liam and Adam are the archeologists - 4 of whom were at university together in 1996 and the Solstice. There aren’t so many left by the end of the tale. Are the 1996 and the contemporary crimes linked?
As with the previous books this is well written and well paced. Sometimes the story seems to rattle along and at other times it seems slower. But as Lauren and Matt uncover the truth - bearing in mind they didn’t have the prologue to help guide them like we do - the perpetrator deserves to be uncovered. I had worked it out quite a bit before the end.
I know Sally Rigby has had some health issues but I see book 8 is in the pipeline and I for one look forward to it with relish.

The Bones of Logan Rock by Sally Rigby 🕵🏻♀️☠️🪨
Thank you so much to NetGalley, Storm Publishing, and the author for the eARC! 💙
Summary: When an archaeological dig on the Cornish cliffs uncovers human remains, Detective Lauren Pengelly is called in to investigate. But the bones aren’t ancient at all. They belong to a teenage girl who vanished decades earlier. As Lauren and her partner Matt dig into the cold case, another body is discovered… proving someone is still willing to kill to keep the past buried. 🌊⚰️
My review: This was a compelling third-person murder mystery following detectives Lauren and Matt, and I really enjoyed watching the investigation unfold from the detectives’ side the entire time. It gave major crime show vibes, like Bones, Castle, or Criminal Minds, and I could easily picture it as an episode playing out on screen. 📺🔍
My favorite part was how the remains discovered from thirty years ago tied directly into the present-day murder. I lovewhen thrillers connect the past and present, and that mystery thread kept me turning the pages. 🕰️🩸
The pacing was a little slower and it felt somewhat predictable at times, so don’t go in expecting huge jaw-dropping twists. But it was still an engaging and satisfying mystery that kept me curious to see how everything would come together.👏🏼
Even though this is book seven in the series, I didn’t feel lost jumping in, which was a huge plus! I liked Lauren and Matt a lot, and reading more of the earlier books would probably make their personal stories hit even harder.
Overall: a solid detective mystery with strong procedural vibes and a satisfying ending! 🖤
Review of advance copy received from Publisher
This cozy mystery is the seventh in a series. This is my first one and I didn’t feel lost.. There was enough backstory to keep me invested.
The book opens with a 1996 prologue describing the murder of a sixteen-year-old girl at a summer solstice beach party.
Fast forward thirty years. An archeological dig is in progress to uncover artifacts from the Bronze Age. While working, one of the archeologist’s discovers the bones of the long dead girl in a shallow grave.. Detective Lauren Pengally and DS Matt Price identify the bones as belonging to Ruth, a young teen with a reputation for. having a wild side. The police at the time chose not to fully investigate because they assumed she was a runaway.
Before Pengally and Price can begin to figure out this cold case, the director of the dig is found dead. And thus the story takes off. Coincidentally, several members of the dig were at that long ago beach party. Are they connected? If so, how? Are any of the remaining scientists at risk?
Pengally’s team is cohesive and on the same page. They work congenially to solve the murders. It is a refreshing change from the tropes of dysfuntional and lazy police departments. The camaraderie enhances the story..
Its not a finger biting drama. The reader has a pretty good idea what’s really going on as the bodies pile up but it doesn’t matter. If you are a fan of this kind of police procedural, you will enjoy it.

Sally Rigby’s latest installment of her Cornish Murder Mystery series, The Bones of Logan Rock, was another outstanding, intricate, and puzzling cozy murder mystery that left my wondering who was the murderer until the last unforeseen plot twist.
Clare Corbett’s amazing narration of this mystery novel left me not only glued to my seat, but also wanting more when it was finished (in one go, I might add). Her ability to keep the voices consistent and clearly distinguishable was truly fantastic. Her grasp of regional differences in dialects and inflections was also remarkable.
This was the 7th in the Cornish Murder Mystery series, and I can’t wait for the 8th! We find DI Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price called into action with their team of investigators when a team of archaeologists unearth human remains that are not from the Bronze Age, as expected. Instead, a decades-old cover-up was brought to light, and it’s up to Pengelly’s team to solve this mystery before more people are silenced forever.
I am never let down by Sally Ridgy’s Cornish Murder Mystery Series, and Claire Corbett’s narration makes the telling of these intense whodunnit novels come to life in the best and most gripping way that I literally can’t seem to put them down before I know how they end. I also love how Rigby rounds out her characters so that we get a peek behind the scenes into the characters’ back stories and lives outside of the job. 100/10 stars.

Treen, near Logan Rock in Cornwall, was the site of the archaeological dig, and when Detective Lauren Pengelly and her partner, DS Matt Price, were called to the discovery of a body, it was obviously not an ancient skeleton. When they identified the bones as belonging to a sixteen year old girl who had gone missing from a beach party in 1996, thirty years ago, Lauren knew they needed to discover more; bring justice for the young woman. They interviewed the archaeological team but there were no answers there. And then another body was discovered...
With a current murder, and the thirty year old bones, Lauren, Matt and the team were working around the clock. Were the two murders linked? Lauren felt they could be but she needed more than feelings. And then another was murdered. The clock was ticking...
The Bones of Logan Rock is the 7th in the Cornwall Murder Mystery series by Sally Rigby and I enjoyed it very much. I've read the whole series to date, and look forward to more of Lauren, Matt and the team. Great characters; it's good to see, after all these books, how well they all operate together, especially Lauren & Matt. His little girl, Dani, is adorable. Highly recommended.

Joining a series in progress, especially seven books deep, is like being the new kid in school. You may make friends, but you have to learn the intricacies of friendships, the inside jokes, etc. Sally Rigby has tried to help all of new kids, but there is still a bit of learning curve for some of the relationships in “The Bones of Logan Rock”, the 7th novel in the Cornwall Murder Mystery series.
As a standalone or introduction to the series, “The Bones of Logan Rock” still works well because the mystery is so good. I love how the author wrote things so you suspect many people and just as soon as you think you have it figured out, there is a piece of information that is dropped and your focus now goes to someone else.
The characters are easy to enjoy and get wrapped up in. The interactions, they joy and pain they feel for each other, the humanity they feel in doing their job, and the dynamics they employ while interviewing witnesses or potential suspects. Overall, this novel is well done.
There was a few moments in the last 20% of the book that I thought I was re-reading a page I had already read because the author started repeating themselves. That was the only real complaint I had about the novel. To me, that is an editor error more than writer error.
This is definitely a series worth checking out.

Seven books in, the Cornwall Murder series is as entertaining as ever. This time, Lauren and her team are called to an archeological dig because bones have been found. Instead of the ancient ones they expected, these have only been there for 30 years (and how old am I that 1996 seems like yesterday to me?) Soon, more recent crimes start happening and the team needs to find out whodunit before more people die. This can be read as a standalone mystery, but I suggest tackling the first six, to get to know the characters. At this point, I love them and enjoy their dialogues and the relationships among them. The author finds the sweet spot between adding personal information, without taking the spotlight from the investigation. The procedural part is well thought out, even if it relies on a huge coincidence. This is why I’m happy I’ve read the previous volumes, I was so invested in the story and the characters, that I didn’t realize what a convenient clue it was until later. There is also the tendency of all their culprits to feel compelled to confess it all a little too easily. That said, I was so entertained by the story, so worried about the characters and so happy about some personal developments in their lives, that I didn’t care at all. It is well written and suspenseful. Consider me a fan.

The Bones of Logan Rock opens with a wonderfully eerie premise: an archaeological dig meant to unearth ancient history instead reveals a far more recent—and far more chilling—grave. When the remains are identified as a teenage girl who vanished during a 1996 beach party, the story immediately tightens, pulling Detective Lauren Pengelly into a case steeped in nostalgia, secrets, and long‑protected lies.
The Cornish setting is vivid and windswept, the cliffs and sea adding a constant sense of danger as Lauren and DS Matt Price begin to unravel what really happened that night. The novel balances the cold-case intrigue with the urgency of the present, especially once a second body appears at the base of the cliffs. Someone is desperate to keep the truth hidden, and the tension builds beautifully as the investigation circles closer to the killer.
What makes the story so compelling is the layering: the old friendships, the buried resentments, the way a single night can echo across decades. Lauren is a grounded, engaging lead—sharp, determined, and deeply human—and the rising body count gives her investigation a relentless pace.
A gripping, twisty mystery full of atmosphere, small‑town secrets, and the kind of slow‑burn suspense that keeps you turning pages. It’s a strong, addictive entry for fans of coastal crime fiction.

I liked this latest one in this series a great deal and fair whizzed through it. I always get a kick out of dual-timeline-type stories. I was happy with what we learn will be imminent personnel changes in the team, mainly because they fell into place just how I wanted them to-hehehe !! And life's looking promising for another much-admired member of the team as well.....so book 8 should be another great read, too, murderation aside !!
I laughed to myself at Tamsin not asking how many others were being interviewed for a position she was going for as that's a question I ALWAYS ask myself !!
I must say that parts of this tale reminded me of a true murder case from 1975, I think it was, though I won't name the victim here as it will give some stuff away. When you read it you'll know (if you're as old as me)....I was just a bit younger than said victim when she was murdered and it used to give me nightmares !!
All the people on this "dig" seemed to be an incestuous bunch-they all appeared to stick together where relationships were concerned, and to their own little group. That was quite intriguing...
As a bonus we got to travel around the by-ways of Cornwall as well, even if it did rain most of the time !! But at least that's sticking true-to-life. The only time I ever visited it poured with rain as well.
Thanks to the author for another super advanced read. Any other remarks or any errors I may have spotted I'm forwarding onto her directly.

Thanks to the author for another super advanced read. Any other remarks or any errors I may have spotted I'm forwarding onto her directly.

This story is the seventh in this series. When I read The Lost Girls of Penzance which was the first- I loved it and became a fan!
An archaeological dig on the wild Cornish cliffs was supposed to uncover ancient history. Instead, human remains are found near Logan Rock in Treen, Cornwall.
Prologue ~ June 20, 1996…At the site of a Beach Party to celebrate Summer Solstice. Everyone was having an enjoyable time listening to the band or dancing and of course drinking.
One of the girls sneaks off to meet an older guy she has been secretly meeting- He says he does not want his girlfriend to know. The teen wants him to dump his girlfriend and says that they can be together without creeping around. He laughs and states- “That is not going to happen you are just a kid”. She is insulted and does not want to put out and states she is going to scream, and everyone will know. He is upset and tells her to keep her mouth shut – or else!
Chapter One starts when Detective Lauren Pengelly and her partner, DS Matt Price are called to investigate the skelton remains of a sixteen-year-old girl Ruth Penrose who when missing in 1996.
However, it seems odd that her body was buried near an archaeologically protected environment site
However, soon another body is found. Only this one was very recent.
Pengelly and Price have a mystery to solve and wonder if the two cases are connected.
The June 1996 Beach party started out a teen-thing but the word got out and some students from a nearby university attended as well.
Hmmm -Interesting that several of the archaelogist working on the dig now also attended that same Beach Party which was three decades ago!
When our Detectives interview Ruth’s sister; s. She tells them she found Ruth’s Diary and she mentions meeting a guy named Davy.
However, no one knows anyone with that name but they are sure he knows what happened that night.
Story was great, kept me guessing. The ending was exciting and had me
Love out detectives and the end gives a hint of the next story.
I always enjoy the ‘Author’s Notes’—In this case Ms. Rigby tells us her motivation for was to create a then/now story at the same crime site.

I was sooo lucky to have already read this outstanding story. When I saw available via audiobook and I LOVE audiobooks I went for it and got it!!!
Needless to say… the audiobook did NOT disappoint. Although I loved and enjoyed reading it, the audiobook book with a narrator using an appropriate accent is priceless and the conversations are something I cannot imagine. So Yes! I enjoyed it!

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
The Bones of Logan Rock by Sally Rigby is book 7 of A Cornwall Murder Mystery featuring Detective Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price and their team of investigators.
The discovery of remains at an archaeological dig site shines the light on a cold case: the bones belong to 16-year-old Ruth Penrose, who vanished thirty years ago during a summer solstice. The investigation centers on four former university friends who are part of the dig team and attended a solstice party near Logan Rock the night Ruth disappeared. During the investigation, members of the archaeological team are murdered, and with the body count mounting, the suspect pool narrowed.
Even though there was a limited suspect pool, I felt Ms. Rigby did a wonderful job of making you feel the pressure as they narrowed in on the killer and a missing person. The search of a cave had me on edge wondering what would happen next.
I love this series and the characters of Lauren and Matt and the rest of the team. It is sad they are losing Tamsin to become a Family Liaison Officer, but hopefully things will work out with Ellie coming on board. The team likes her, but will her relationship with Billy cause problems? I hope there are more books in this series, and we see Matt move forward with his life, and maybe Lauren will find love sometime.
Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Bones of Logan Rock is another steady entry in Sally Rigby’s Cornwall Murder Mystery series, but it feels more like a comfortable check-in with the team than a standout instalment.
The premise is strong on paper—human remains discovered during an archaeological dig turning into a decades-old cold case—but the story unfolds in a fairly predictable, low-key way. There’s tension and a clear sense of mystery, but nothing that really pushes the boundaries or delivers a truly gripping, edge-of-your-seat experience. It’s more of a slow, methodical investigation than a high-stakes thriller.
What the book does well is the team dynamic. By this point in the series, the relationships between Lauren, Matt, and the wider group feel natural and well-established, and that’s where most of the enjoyment comes from. It’s a comforting read in that sense—you’re not here for big shocks, you’re here to spend time with characters you already know and like.
The downside is that the plot itself feels a bit average compared to other entries. There are twists and developments, but they don’t hit particularly hard, and the pacing can feel a little too steady at times. It never quite builds into anything especially memorable.
Overall, The Bones of Logan Rock is an easy, enjoyable read, but very much a middle-of-the-road instalment in the series. Not disappointing, just nothing particularly exciting—more of a familiar, comforting return to the team than a must-read highlight

Big thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC.
The story follows the investigation after human remains dating back to 1996 are discovered during an archeological dig. The remains belong to a 16-year-old girl named Ruth Penrose, who attended a solstice party and then disappeared. As the investigation proceeds, the members of the archeology team start dying mysteriously around the digging site. Now, detectives Lauren Pengelly and Matt Price have to figure out the motives and connections before the killer does the job and vanishes.
If you are an avid murder mystery reader, I'm sure you're familiar with Rigby's name already. This book is the latest instalment of her Cornwall Murder Mystery series. Let me say that it was an okay read for me, but it didn't excite me too much. Maybe something was missing, or maybe I became too picky with my mystery reads after so many of them. I didn't feel the "urgency" of solving the case, and some dialogues came across as very repetitive and flat, although they fit the storyline well. There were points where I was a bit blindsided by the twists, and thus, this one turned out to be an okay read.
For occasional murder mystery readers, this will definitely be a very good read. For avid readers like me, it might land as a stable average.

This is number 7 in this series, and I have not read all of them, so it can easily be read as a standalone.
The book comes in 2 parts as the story began 30years ago, but starts at the todays date as it's about an archaeology dig in beautiful Cornwall, and the author will give you an insight to Cornwall, and as one would expect bones were found at the dig but these were not ancient but 30 years ago, so police are called and according to the pathololgist this was a very young girl and was murdered.
Now, much to the annoyance, the dig has been closed down while investigations are ongoing. It's quite unusual as nearly all the people on the dig have been to the same college and have worked together before early in their careers, but something is afoot as there is another murder. Digging into the people in this site, they all seem as if they have something to hide, which makes Lauren Pengelly and Matt very suspicious of them all.
Sally is good at peeling back the layers until the truth is finally out, and what did happen 30years ago?
Very good book worth the read, you would not be disappointed, as I have read quite a few of Sally Rigby's novels, and they have all been cleverly put together.
I would like to thank Netgalley for an advanced copy, as usual this is my take on this book.

I’ve been privileged to read advance copies of several books in Sally Rigby’s A Cornwall Murder Mystery series and book 7, The Bones of Logan Rock, was a great entry in this police procedural series.
In this book, Matt, Lauren, and the team must solve the murder of a young girl who was killed 30 years before after her remains are found at an archaeological site.
The story is told in third person, from the points of view of Matt and Lauren as they lead their team in the investigation.
One of my favourite things about this series is the sense of family and camaraderie in the team of officers as they investigate crimes.
It’s so refreshing to see all the members of a team working to support each other in their work.
The prologue in this particular book really grabbed my attention, and I was surprised to find myself speeding through this book and finishing it in two sittings. I really expected it to take me longer because I thought it would be a slower read, so I was pleasantly surprised.
If you enjoy police procedural type mysteries that don’t rely too heavily on technology (there’s some don’t get me wrong), then I think you’ll enjoy The Bones of Logan Rock…and probably the previous books in the series if you haven’t read them.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

"The Bones of Logan Rock” the 7th instalment in A Cornwall Murder Mystery
series featuring DI Lauren Pengelly and DS Matt Price by Sally Rigby . This is the third book I have read in the series, if you love mysteries set in Cornwall, England this is for you!
An archaeological dig on the wild Cornish cliffs was supposed to uncover ancient history. Instead, it has exposed a grave that was never meant to be found.
I love visiting Cornwall while not a lot of descriptive scenes as in some books there was just enough to know we were in Cornwall. I liked the dynamics between the investigative team and how they played off each other. With Tasmin possibly leaving what will happen with the dynamics once an unknown is added. We will just have to wait and see.
The mystery was really interesting, well plotted, and had just enough twists to keep you engrossed and wanting to know what happens next. I was really invested in the outcome and read in one day.
This series is quickly becoming one of my favorite British crime series.
I recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.
I requested and received an Advanced Readers Copy from Storm Publishing and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
