Barking Up the Right Tree by Leigh Russell
After losing her job and her boyfriend, Emily is devastated. As she is puzzling over what to do with the rest of her life, she is surprised to learn that her great aunt has died, leaving Emily her cottage in the picturesque Wiltshire village of Ashton Mead. But there is one condition to her inheritance: she finds herself the unwilling owner of a pet. Not knowing what to expect, Emily sets off for the village, hoping to make a new life for herself. In Ashton Mead, she soon makes friends with Hannah who runs the Sunshine Tea Shoppe and meets other residents of the village where she decides to settle. All is going well... until Emily's ex-boyfriend turns up and against the advice of her new friends, she takes him back. When Emily decides to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a neighbour, she unwittingly puts her own life in danger...

All dog lovers will love this fun read cosy crime. And if you are not a dog lover, you will still enjoy it as it is full of mystery, romance, and who doesn't love a crime to solve, certainly not us mystery readers. Well done Leigh Russell. I look forward, very much, to Poppy and Emily's next outing
