Description: Sergeant Ali Wren and her police dog, Wilson, are back in this charming sequel, perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves and Margaret Mizushima.
It's just another day in the small town of Heft when Ali follows up on reports of an escaped pride of peacocks stirring up trouble in a once quiet cul-de-sac. A routine call, a case of fuss and feathers, Ali suspects. But what she discovers inside the house the birds have invaded is far from routine. The couple who live there have been receiving anonymous hate letters. Letters that are at once threatening and suspiciously personal. As Ali and Wilson investigate, they dig up long-buried secrets at the heart of the community. Every detail they uncover brings them closer to the truth, that someone in Heft will stop at nothing to keep their past hidden...Review Quotes: Praise for Killing in the Countryside:
"Memorable characters, an engaging plot with many an unexpected twist and turn, Killing in the Countryside is a fun read from start to finish and an unreservedly recommended acquisition for any and all dedicated cozy mystery fans (and dog lovers!)."
