About this listen

‘As twisty-turny as a Cornish lane in high summer’

J.M. Hall, author of A Spoonful of Murder

‘A sparklingly delicious confection to satisfy the mystery reader’s appetite’

Helena Dixon, bestselling author of the Miss Underhay Mysteries

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…

‘An absolute gem… Leitch’s characters are as engaging and clever as the mystery she’s concocted’ Lauren Forry, author of The Launch Party

‘Fiona Leitch is on fine form with this wry, twisty tale from the Cornish coast’ M.H. Eccleston, author of The Trust

The narrator has a lovely clear voice. very easy to listen to. Just terrible at accents!

I quite like these stories. They are a bit repetitive but easy listening and feel good.

Yet another trip to visit friends in Cornwall. This really needs to be made into an episodic drama like DIP etc. I'd love to see the casting for this.

Brilliant

Zara Ramm is an absolute delight to listen to. Her performance is fantastic. The characters are brought to life in this wonderful world that Fiona Leitch has created. Everytime there is a new book I binge it in one-two days. Love the characters and there relationships. The nan and daughter are amazing. I really hope the series continues for many, many more books!

I adore the 'A Nosey Parker Mystery' series

I got a little confused with the discussion of all the burner phones..but it had a great twist in the end.

another great read

Didn't enjoy the recipe, but that's
probably because I don't cook myself. It was in keeping with the story's characters though.

Focus on Cornwall and an honest assessment of the problems faced in the South West.

Fiona Leitch is an amazing writer. Each book that i have read thus far in this series has been awesome full of twists and turns and the unexpected endings. I love all the characters, the added wit and the extra add recipes at the end of each story. If you love cosy murder mysteries you will thoroughly enjoy this series. Highly recommend! Book 7 here i come.

Another great story from this series.

I do enjoy this series but I wish the writer could get her geography right. If she insists on mentioning Barnstaple (market town on the North coast of Devon) and Exeter (Devon’s city) then set it in Devon. It must be my age that this irritates me! Plymouth is the nearest city to Cornwall and Barnstaple is nowhere near. Barnstaple CID going to Cornwall - it’s just so silly. It’s in all the books. She has an obsession with Barnstaple.

Good series
