Today, I’m delighted to host my good friend, Mary Grand, for publication day. A Summertime Murder is Mary’s newest cozy crime novel, set on her native Isle of Wight. It has just popped up on my kindle and I’m looking forward to reading what promises to be another cracking whodunnit.
A Summertime Murder by Mary Grand
Susan never imagined herself an amateur sleuth, and she certainly never goes looking for trouble, preferring days spent walking her loyal dogs Libs and Rocco, and maybe even a dip in the sea to cool off after this interminable heatwave.
When she hears of a break-in at the vet’s where her new neighbour works, Susan’s curiosity is piqued.
And then, a few days later, the lead vet, Peter, mysteriously disappears. They assume it’s business related until his body is washed up on the beach close to his clifftop home.
Susan is convinced he was murdered and slowly discovers that each of the small group of suspects has a motive. Is the killing linked to the break-in… or is this a crime of passion?
Once again, Susan finds herself piecing together clues in her search for the truth. Can she untangle the lies before someone else dies?
Return to the beautiful coastline of the Isle of Wight in this engrossing and unputdownable cozy mystery!
Praise for Mary Grand:
‘A really terrific read. I have been reading and enjoying Mary’s books for a number of years right from her first one, and this one was well up to Mary’s high standard. Brilliant.’
‘Another cracking murder mystery from Mary. It kept me intrigued through out. So many red herrings amongst the well created characters. With the added bonus of all the dogs.’

A little bit about Mary…
Mary Grand is the bestselling author of murder mysteries set in the current time but in the style of classic whodunnits. These are set on the Isle of Wight where she lives and writes, and the island landscape is an important feature of her books. The first three novels with Boldwood, starting with The House Party, are stand-alone murder mysteries. The next four are part of a series featuring amateur detective Susan Flynn, starting with A Seaside Murder (originally published as Death At Castle Cove}.
Mary’s writing career started with three self-published novels starting with Free to Be Tegan, which is set in Wales, where Mary was born and grew up, and two anthologies of short stories Catching the Light and Making Changes. These earlier novels are in the women’s fiction genre, featuring central characters who find strength in overcoming adversity.
