I’m back with a review of another Magpie Cove book by the fantastic Kennedy Kerr. You may remember earlier in the year I reviewed Secrets of Magpie Cove, which I thoroughly enjoyed! Well, today it’s the *Daughters of Magpie Cove.

Book Description

Connie stared out at the quiet Cornish sea as the hazy early morning light bathed the horizon in a beautiful golden glow. She inhaled the salty, cleansing ocean air, looked down at the handwritten note and wiped away the lone tear that had started to fall…

When Connie Christie’s mother summons her home from the city to Magpie Cove to take over the family business – a quaint, charming museum – Connie is reluctant. The cove holds nothing more than bad memories for Connie, memories she’d rather leave buried…

The tiny coastal museum is a hub for the local community but it is struggling to survive, and despite herself, Connie is determined to save the business that has been in her family for generations. Discovering her great-grandmother’s diary tucked away in a dusty box in the attic – which reveals her struggles as a young woman – gives Connie a surprising clue to unlocking the secrets in her own past. Maybe what happened to her all those years ago wasn’t her fault after all?

Connie starts to relish her work at the museum and the beautiful, calm surroundings of Magpie Cove. A chance encounter with handsome local entrepreneur, Alex Gordon, leaves her with more than just butterflies. Perhaps embracing a new start in her old home maybe isn’t the worst idea she’s ever had.

But just as Connie starts to feel like she finally belongs somewhere, the peace she has found crumbles when the one person she has tried for years to forget resurfaces… Can Connie finally find her home, and herself, in Magpie Cove, or will her painful past force her to run away again, this time for good?

What I Thought

I love a cosy emotional read set down here in Cornwall. I curled up and read Daughters of Magpie Cove during the recent storm here and I couldn’t put it down. It’s just as good as the previous Secrets of Magpie Cove!

In this one, Connie returns home to help run the family museum, It’s not something she wants to do, as the cove reminds her of her troublesome teenage years. But no sooner as she’s back, it seems her past has come forward as well. The threatening messages are starting all over again. Who is leaving them? Can she trust Alex? Is it a childhood friend still holding a grudge?

Daughters of Magpie Cove is a fantastic read. Mystery, romance, intrigue, and suspense, all set on the stunning Cornish coast. You don’t want to miss this one!
