Carmel Cove is a peaceful community... except when death pays a visit.
When the friend of a friend goes missing and a corpse is discovered, Private Investigator Ruth Morgan is tasked with solving yet another death in her hometown.
The case is a perplexing one with few suspects and more questions than answers. Did the victim die at the hands of someone else? Did they commit suicide after falling out with their spouse? Or is it simply a case of accidental death?
In her quest to uncover the truth, Ruth puts everything on the line, her business and even her relationship with her fiancé.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this cozy crime series, and it was great to be back in Carmel Cove again.
Even better was the way that Ruth and her nemesis are starting to at least treat each other with some professional respect. I was though shocked at the way Ruth and Jams were getting on, although perhaps not surprising, given their characters, was still slightly taken aback.
And the mystery itself, well the victim had a rather unpleasant selection of acquaintances, but at no point could I work out just who had done it. I do like to be kept on my toes.
For me this series is far more about seeing the development of the regular characters as people, than the crimes themselves. There are plenty of recurring faces to really start giving an idea of who lives in Carmel Cove, and the more I read of these books the better picture I'm forming of the area.
A really quick story to read that could easily be read as a standalone, its a solid addition to this series, which I'm keen to read more of.
Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
