Death in the Countryside (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798892422697)

The sudden disappearance of a local woman reopens an old case in a small English town where everyone knows everyone's business.

This debut police dog mystery will delight fans of Ann Cleeves and Margaret Mizushima.

Sergeant Ali Wren has recently returned to her charming Yorkshire hometown of Heft, accompanied by her trusty canine companion Officer PD Wilson, a Springer Spaniel with a nose for trouble. Together they are the police force quietly serving the town.

When Brian, an older resident, reports his wife, Melody, missing, Ali at first suspects a routine case. Melody, tired of playing dutiful wife to an inattentive husband, may simply have left. But suspicion soon begins to mount when it emerges that Brian's first wife died under tragic circumstances and Ali uncovers evidence of Melody's recent puzzling behavior.
