Digging Up Secrets by Elizabeth Penney

Digging Up Secrets is the first book in the Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm fiction series.

Harriet Bailey has just inherited her beloved grandfather's home and veterinary practice in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. But she's barely unpacked when one of her elderly clients, Meredith Bennett, is rushed to the hospital with a head injury. Harriet agrees to care for Meredith's springer spaniel, Huntley, while Meredith recovers. When Huntley makes a fuss in the yard behind the clinic, Harriet rushes to see what is wrong--and finds that he has unearthed the take from a forty-year-old jewel heist.

Harriet's late grandfather, Dr. Harold Bailey, becomes the main suspect in the theft, but Harriet refuses to believe that the well-regarded veterinarian and esteemed local artist burgled Ravenglen Manor. She must find the real culprit and restore the Bailey family's reputation. Can Harriet prove Grandad Harold's innocence and solve this decades-old cold case? More importantly, can she prove herself to her new community of White Church Bay?

Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm brings you everything you want in a great cozy mystery: page-turning plots, hidden secrets from the past, faith-filled characters, clean, wholesome stories, and the heartwarming, fun antics of animals with a knack for sniffing out--and digging up--clues!

When veterinarian Harriet Bailey's grandfather passes away, she accepts his bequest and follows her heart--with God's gentle guidance--across the ocean to the charming town of White Church Bay in Yorkshire, England. Old Doc Bailey left Harriet not only a sprawling historic estate but also the Cobble Hill Farm Vet Clinic in the hope that she would continue his legacy. You'll be captivated, just like Harriet, as she takes long walks along country paths, marvels at the gardens surrounding each cottage, and wanders through the ruins of old stone castles. Through the caring locals she meets and the precious animals in her care, she confirms that she is right where she belongs--especially when people and pets alike bring her mysteries from today and yesterday to solve!
