The second Poppy Mystery, a brand new British cozy crime series perfect for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club and SJ Bennett's The Queen Investigates series.

Emily has settled in the picturesque village of Ashton Mead, where she lives with her puppy, Poppy. Life is finally going well for Emily. She has a cottage of her own, a job she likes, and friends. Then she stumbles on the body of a woman who apparently drowned in the river.

Emily finds it hard to believe her friendly neighbour could be a cold-hearted murderer. When she meets his attractive son, Adam, her feelings become more complicated.

Unfortunately for Emily, her visit does not go as planned. Instead of helping clear Richard's name, she finds her own life is in danger...
