About this ebook
After the death of her husband, Rose Trevelyan lives peacefully in Cornwall, working as an artist and photographer. But when she hears terrified screams as she paints the rugged Cornish countryside, and a local woman is reported missing, Rose finds herself suddenly caught at the centre of a police investigation.
With so many people who trust her, Rose is - reluctantly, at times - privy to the secrets of many. When the things she is told in confidence appear connected to the investigation, Rose must decide how far the bonds of friendship reach.

Reviews for Buried in Cornwall

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good plot and characterisation, although the murderer seemed relatively easy to spot early on there were numerous other options and wrinkles to maintain interest.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I bought this under the mistaken impression it was the first in the series. Anyway...Rose hears a woman scream while she is out painting at the site of a former mill. She calls the police, but they can find nothing of concern. Then, a few days later, the former girlfriend of the man Rose is sort of dating goes missing.I wanted to love this series - I love Cornwall. However, I found this novel slightly dated; I have described Jenny, the woman who goes missing, as Nick's girlfriend, but in the novel, she hopes to become his mistress, despite the fact neither are married. There is a lot of description/telling and far less dialogue/showing. I quite liked Rose, although the number of male admirers she seemed to attract was mystifying (but helpful to the plot).I also found the plot very lacking in urgency or pace. The "whodunnit" is revealed at the end, in an encounter months after the event and was extremely underwhelming. Disappointing.
