Julia Bird loves a walk in the countryside. There’s nothing quite like the fresh air and green rolling hills of the Cotswolds to clear your head. Unless you come across a dead body, that is…
Synopsis:
When the local Berrywick vet, Dr Eve Davies, is found dead at the bottom of a cliff, the police believe it’s nothing more than a tragic accident, but Julia isn’t so sure. Just a few days earlier when she took her dog, Jake, to the vets, Dr Eve said she believed something awful was about to happen. It turns out she was right…
But who would want the beloved village vet dead? Was it her mother Kay, a down-and-out gambler who stands to inherit her unwedded daughter’s home? Was it her assistant Olga, who was close to getting fired? Or was it her cut-throat tennis partner Will, with whom Dr Eve had an argument shortly before she took a tumble? And who is the stranger skulking around Berrywick peering into people’s windows?
When a second body appears in the exact spot where Dr Eve was found, Julia knows it can’t be a coincidence. Both victims were pushed off the cliff, but why? Should Julia let sleeping dogs lie, or will she be like a dog with a bone to find the murderer?
Review:
This is the 6th book of the series. Once again Julie gets to stumble over a dead body (how English, LOL), but this time, it's not the one she wants to, as it is her local vet, and co-walker. But something doesn't seem right to Julie- not how the body landed, nor why Dr Eve would harm herself. As she and the local police try to make sense out of random clues, she soon finds herself being told clues that seem like nothing, yet when strung together, offer a very different picture of what might have been going on around Dr Eve. An interesting look at family secrets, this cozy is a page turner!
