Secrets, Lies, and Puppy Dog Eyes: A Contemporary Cozy Mystery

Megan Fallon's putting her ex-fiancé well and truly out of her mind, and focusing on settling back into village life.

Meanwhile, Jack, her childhood American friend, is renovating the old village school, and is looking for a four-legged friend to share his new home.

All is well in Bliss Bay until obituaries start appearing on the church noticeboard for villagers who are still very much alive, and the village is thrown into turmoil.

Is the well-respected family being targeted the subject of a very bad joke, or are the obituaries a sign of something far more sinister?

And who is responsible when an unassuming member of the village is murdered?

Could a 40 year-old suspicious death hold the key to solving the murder, or is that simply a red herring to put detectives off the scent of the real killer?

As a reluctant Megan is drawn into the mystery by her crime-busting, TV detective show-loving Uncle Des, secrets and lies come to light, but will they help find the person, or persons, responsible for the deaths?

This is a clean, contemporary, cozy mystery with characters who'll stay with you long after you've finished reading. It contains no graphic violence, language, sex, or cliffhangers.

Fans of Agatha Frost, HY Hanna and Steve Higgs may like this cozy mystery, written by mystery author Sherri Bryan using British English spelling and terminology.
