DESCRIPTION:
Julia Bird loves a walk in the countryside. There’s nothing quite like the fresh air and green rolling hills of the Cotswolds to clear your head. Unless you come across a dead body, that is…
When the local Berrywick vet, Dr Eve Davies, is found dead at the bottom of a cliff, the police believe it’s nothing more than a tragic accident, but Julia isn’t so sure. Just a few days earlier when she took her dog, Jake, to the vets, Dr Eve said she believed something awful was about to happen. It turns out she was right…
But who would want the beloved village vet dead? Was it her mother Kay, a down-and-out gambler who stands to inherit her unwedded daughter’s home? Was it her assistant Olga, who was close to getting fired? Or was it her cut-throat tennis partner Will, with whom Dr Eve had an argument shortly before she took a tumble? And who is the stranger skulking around Berrywick peering into people’s windows?
When a second body appears in the exact spot where Dr Eve was found, Julia knows it can’t be a coincidence. Both victims were pushed off the cliff, but why? Should Julia let sleeping dogs lie, or will she be like a dog with a bone to find the murderer?
A totally gripping and charming cosy mystery set in the English countryside. Fans of M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin and Betty Rowlands will love the Julia Bird Mysteries.

MY THOUGHTS:
Julia Bird had just taken her dog Jake to the vet for a sore tail. Soon after, Julia discovers that the vet, Dr. Eve, was found over a clifftop. How did Dr. Eve die? Not only does Eve not agree with the police ruling it an accident or even suicide, she takes it upon herself to find out what really happened.
Julia is absolutely certain that Dr. Eve was murdered, so she begins to snoop around. This snooping definitely brings stress to Julia, but she just might not be able to let things go. Meanwhile, in the village of Berrywick where Julia lives, all of a sudden there is a stranger in town. Julia is not the only one being nosy. This further cements Julia’s belief that Dr. Eve’s fall was due to foul play.
What a delightful addition to a really enjoyable series. I just love cozy mysteries and Katie Gayle has done a fabulous job with this book and the previous five titles in the series. No doubt book seven will be just as engaging.
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
