by Mary Grand

Island life suits Susan, and she can’t imagine ever moving from her beloved Isle of Wight. So it gives her real pleasure to see her young lodger Colette settle in to life by the sea, especially knowing that she has such a troubled past.

Susan’s da

ys are comfortingly routine, starting every morning by exercising her beloved Rocco on Ventnor beach with her fellow dog walkers. The group may have bonded over their fondness for their canine companions, but over time their friendships have deepened.

So, when Colette dies in suspicious circumstances at Castle Cove, Susan is devastated to realise that the dog walking group were the last to see Colette alive, and one of her friends must have been responsible for her death.

And when Susan begins to suspect that the police are minded to put Colette’s death down to an accident, Susan decides she won’t rest until she solves the mystery and finds the murderer.

REVIEW

Set in the picturesque Isle of White Susan is tasked with finding out what really happened to her friend and lodger Collette after she is discovered seriously injured at the cove, which subsequently leads to her death.

We are given a lot of insight and little tidbits throughout the story that allows us to speculate who could have harmed Collette, I seriously suspected someone and was 100% sure I was on the right track but boy was I wrong! And I loved that I was wrong, as when it was revealed I had one of those ah ha! moments. I loved Susan as a character and of course her dogs, and how she was determined to make sure that Collette’s death would be investigated fully. I really loved the story and the setting that Grand gave us, and can’t wait to delve into more of her books.
