Call me a sucker for books placed in
England. I adore the atmosphere, the
language, and the culture. This is the
first of romantic suspense author Stella
Cameron’s series placed in her
native country, England.
Alex Duggins moves to Folly-on-Weir
after her divorce to start anew by purchasing a pub and doing things for
herself.
When she finds a dead body of none
other than an unknown Monk, things start to unravel.
A childhood friend, Tony Harrison,
deems her necessary of extra attention.
His “in” to get to her is that she adopted the dog found at the murder
scene. Tony’s a veterinarian and must
check on the scared dog’s recovery along with watching over Alex.
Too bad more unlikely bodies appear,
Alex always being on scene. Could she be
the killer?
Alex doesn’t want help clearing her
name, only to find the real killer.
I enjoyed the mix of the mysterious
happenings and the romance blossoming between childhood friends. Each topic repeatedly takes one step forward
and two steps back. As danger multiplies
and invades Alex’s home and business, she’s due for a leap into favorable
happenings. Tony may be the key.
I was a little surprised at the random
editorial errors, small in nature, but noticeable. I still recommend this as a good read as the
story kept me engaged well enough to ignore errors. Give it a shot…I’m mean a try! I will be reading the next in the seriesJ
Happy
reading,
Dawn
