Devonshire, murder, murder-investigation, amateur-sleuth, law-enforcement, small-business, small-town, theft, rescue-animals, farm-animals, farm-equipment, antiques, organized-crime***** The first two bodies were recent, and Juno saw them both. Juno has a history of getting involved with murder investigations and on the wrong side of Detective Sergeant Cruella Deville (but not the others). Besides the murders, there have been fraudulent thievings from other shop owners as well as thefts of farm animal herds and large farm equipment happening in the district. Add in the business tenant from the pit, an attractive photojournalist from Australia, and a mostly absent love interest to round out this delightful tale. As this is the first I've read in the series, I can tell you that it works just as well as a stand alone. But this one is so good that I want the earlier ones, too. I requested and received a temporary digital ARC of this book from Allison & Busby via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
