Susan never imagined herself an amateur sleuth, and she certainly never goes looking for trouble, preferring days spent walking her loyal dogs Libs and Rocco, and maybe even a dip in the sea to cool off after this interminable heatwave.
When she hears of a break-in at the vet's where her new neighbour works, Susan's curiosity is piqued.
And then, a few days later, the lead vet, Peter, mysteriously disappears. They assume it's business related until his body is washed up on the beach close to his clifftop home.
Susan is convinced he was murdered and slowly discovers that each of the small group of suspects has a motive. Is the killing linked to the break-in... or is this a crime of passion?
Once again, Susan finds herself piecing together clues in her search for the truth. Can she untangle the lies before someone else dies?
Return to the beautiful coastline of the Isle of Wight in this engrossing and unputdownable cosy mystery!
Praise for Mary Grand:
'A really terrific read. I have been reading and enjoying Mary's books for a number of years right from her first one, and this one was well up to Mary's high standard. Brilliant.'
'Another cracking murder mystery from Mary. It kept me intrigued through out. So many red herrings amongst the well created characters. With the added bonus of all the dogs.'
'I absolutely LOVE these psychological thrillers from Mary. On every page is another suspicious thing about someone but then at the end, the twist is a shocker! The fact the books are set on the Isle of Wight is another treat.'
'I love books where you are given lots of clues and have lots of suspects, and are continually changing your mind about who the murderer was. I've read other books by Mary Grand and she's very good at keeping you guessing. And, at the end, I still had it wrong!'
'Mary Grand has crafted another intriguing and cleverly thought out whodunnit. Prepare to be gripped and thrown around on this rollercoaster of a book. Cosy crime is rapidly becoming one of my favourite genres, and Mary Grand one of my favourite authors.'
