a howl lot of love and lies!

(The Tamsin Kernick Cozy English Mysteries Book 9)

By Lucy Emblem

Charming English villages, loyal dogs, and heartwarming mysteries with a dash of danger.

Midsummer mischief, malicious mail, and a mystery to melt your heart.

What could possibly go wrong at a Midsummer Valentine party in the Malvern Hills?

For amateur sleuth Tamsin Kernick, the answer is: quite a lot. One minute she’s up to her ears in bunting and heart-shaped biscuits - next thing she knows, she’s knee-deep in trouble and missing in action.

As cryptic messages and toxic Valentine cards begin arriving across the village, it’s clear someone’s playing a dangerous game. But when Tamsin vanishes, it’s her loyal dogs - clever Quiz, brave Banjo, and cheeky Moonbeam - who sniff out the truth before the trail goes cold.

With a daring rescue, a suspiciously shady scheme, and a romantic twist she never saw coming, Tamsin might finally discover that love really is worth the risk.

Twisty, heartwarming, and full of countryside charm, this ninth mystery in this much-loved series ties up secrets, schemes, and a few long-overdue feelings.
