“Ferryman” is a story that could easily be ripped from a modern front-page tabloid’s headlines. From the opening chapter of the “Ferryman,” to the last suspenseful scene, Carole Sutton, intertwines a masterful tale of murder, mystery and mayhem.

The novel is set in a small, sleepy town on the coast of Cornwall, England. Carole expertly introduces her characters through an extended weekend sailing event. The storyline is further propelled by the influx of several unsolved, seemingly u More...

Ferryman is a terrific thriller set on the Cornwall Coast. Carole Sutton takes us on frantic journey, a race against time to expose a madman and save a woman's life. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it in an early draft.

If you enjoy crime fiction/murder mystery, you'll love this one. A detective with a conscience, a woman's betrayal and a powerful businessman with a sinister secret are just some of the characters in this tale set around Cornwall in the 1970s.
Five stars, I hear you ask? Well, I did write it myself, so you will have to be judge.

Steven Pengelly went to prison for the murder of a missing woman. When Angela Dupont’s naked body pops up in the river two years later and the pathologist declares she’s only been dead a week, the lead investigator realizes he’s jailed the wrong man.

Detective Inspector Alec Grimstone, experiencing guilt feelings over having pressured a witness whose testimony helped put Pengelly in jail, reopens the case. Before long, similarities begin to surface between this and other open cases.

Non-Stop Action, Mystery and Intrigue

If you enjoy reading page turning thrillers make yourself comfortable: Carole Sutton’s, ‘Ferryman’ is a non-stop thriller from the opening page which pins you down until the very end.

Sutton takes us (readers) back three decades to the Seventies with such incredible realism, enabling us to feel the atmosphere of Cornwall, and the way life was in England. Steven Pengally, an innocent man’s life is torn apart when wrongfully accused and i More...

They say the devil is in the details and you will find a rich supply of them in this mystery novel, transporting you to 1970's Cornwall, England, racing aboard a sleek yacht or attending a fancy costume ball where far more than meets the eye is there to be discovered by those in search of answers. One of the people following trails both hot and cold is Steven Pengelly, a man wrongfully convicted of murder who gains his freedom after two years of imprisonment when the body of the woman he was su More...

Engrossing from beginning to end: Steven Pengelly bought a thirty-two foot sailing sloop named Touche, setting off a series of events that would change his life. A flirtatious beauty named Angela Dupont helped him crew the boat and although he fell for her, for her their relationship was only a means to rise to a higher station in life. When she went missing after they had had a heated argument, he became the primary suspect and was eventually convicted of foul play. Two years later her body was More...

A book that contains loads of ingredients that are special to me. A love of sailing on a beautiful yacht, murder, mystery and suspense.
The setting is Cornwall in the 70's. Steven (the hero) saves up and buys himself a small yacht that he is crazy about. Up pops a pretty girl that he falls for - who is not quite all she appears to be. When she disappears then all sorts of mayhem occur.

Decadence, sleeze, greed, you name it; a recipe for a real page turner.

This is a good mystery/adventure, set in the 1970's in England. Sutton is a very good writer. Her descriptions are wonderful. The plot is fast-moving and kept me turning the pages.
If you like mysteries, you will like Ferryman.
