The Cornish Novels Omnibus

Rose Trevelyan #1-3 omnibus

by Janie Bolitho

Artist Rose Trevelyan lives a peaceful life in her cottage overlooking Mount's Bay in Cornwall, sketching on the beach at Mousehole when the weather is fine, or taking photographs of the harbour at Newlyn to be sold as postcards in the local gift shops in towns dotted around the coast. Always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need, Rose often finds herself drawn into the oddest situations. Of course, being naturally curious, Rose finds it very hard to let an unsolved puzzle pass her by, even when the consequences of her actions mean her own tranquil lifestyle becomes somewhat stormy...With a cast of colourful characters and the beautiful county of Cornwall as the backdrop, this omnibus edition brings together for the first time three engrossing mysteries featuring amateur sleuth Rose Trevelyan - Snapped in Cornwall, Buried in Cornwall and Framed in Cornwall.

Reviews

[Skull · Rating 5 out of 5]

This omnibus contains the first three novels in the Rose Trevelyan series

A lot of reviews lay claim to Janie Bolitho being the next Agatha Christie and Rose Trevelyan being the Next Miss Marple.

Whilst i do not agree with that there is an element to the twists and turns which i think Christie would have approved.

I think Janie Bolitho truly wins with her descriptions of her beloved Cornwall, and i am looking forwards to reading the rest soon.

Well worth Reading, not a slog, more of a relaxing journey.
