About the Book

‘If you like your crime cosy, with a big dollop of romance and lots of cute animals, you will love Murder at Honeysuckle Harbour.’ Fiona Leitch

An idyllic Devon village. A murdered pug breeder. And a vet with a nose for trouble…

When Daisy Turner returns to the seaside village of Honeysuckle Harbour to take over her late father’s vet practice, she’s expecting muddy paws, cuddly cats, and the chance to grieve in peace. What she gets is a new vet trying to drive her out of business, a handsome new colleague… and a dead body.

Margot Kinkade was a successful local pug breeder, and when the police say her death was an accident, Daisy isn’t convinced. Margot was meticulous – and the pet passport Daisy spots at the scene raises questions no one else seems willing to ask.

With the village police refusing to listen and a whiteboard full of clues set up in her spare room, Daisy sets out to diagnose this mystery the only way she knows how: gathering symptoms until a pattern emerges.

Can Daisy unravel a web of secrets without putting herself – or her animals – in danger?

Murder at Honeysuckle Harbour is the first in a charming new cosy mystery series set in a Devon village where everyone knows everyone… and someone is getting away with murder. Curl up with a cuppa, a wagging tail at your feet, and a mystery that will keep you guessing until the very last page…

Readers and reviewers love Daisy Turner, Vet Detective!
