A Summertime Murder

The Isle of Wight Killings, Book 5

The BRAND NEW cozy mystery from the author of the NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER A Christmas Murder - perfect for fans of Faith Martin and LJ Ross

'I thoroughly enjoyed this intriguing mystery set in a beautiful location with deliciously menacing undercurrents.' Frances Evesham

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 unmissable cosy mystery!
