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!

The Bones of Logan Rock is a Cornwall Murder Mystery Book 7.
