A Trace of Hares

Nell Ward, Book 5

By: Sarah Yarwood-Lovett

Narrated by: Kristin Atherton

Dr Nell Ward is in the lush, emerald hills of Ireland, to attend the wedding of two dear friends at a picture-perfect farmhouse.

But family tensions are running high in the days before the happy couple tie the knot. And when Nell sees a fox kill a hare in the early morning light, it sends shivers down her spine. Almost like it is a sign of something to come...

Then one of the locals makes a gruesome discovery in a nearby peat bog. Famous for the ancient bodies these habitats preserve, what has been found instead is a woman who died much more recently...

Nell and her friends are suddenly in the middle of another murder case. Can they hunt down the killer and save the wedding, before it is too late?

An absolutely gripping cozy mystery to curl up with. Perfect for fans of Richard Oman, Robert Thorogood and Janice Hallett.

Love Mystery Mixed with Ecology

The Nell Ward series is a fun twist on who-dunnits with the mix in of nature contributing to the evidence. It was fun that this one was in Ireland

A great thriller!

Liked the un predictable outcome. I figured out who it must be but the twist at the end was great.

5 stars

Another great book with Nell Ward. The characters are engaging and the story is well-written. I look forward to the next book.

I couldn’t wait!

It was a delight getting another story about Nell and the gang. I love the inclusion of botany and ecological facts, as well as the well written descriptions in the more tense scenes. I hope we get another one soon!

Suspense

I can’t really identify with the characters. They inhabit a universe that I can’t imagine
