Published: October 19th 2015 by Bastei Entertainment
Format: Kindle Edition, 111 pages
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Series: Cherringham #21
First Sentence: Sarah pushed her way through the crowd towards the Village Hall, Chloe trailing a few feet behind.
Blurb: When the Zakro Corporation attempts to build a mammoth supermarket outside Cherringham, the whole village is up in arms. But the accidental death of lead environmentalist Sam Lewis seems to hand victory to the developers. Could Sam's opposition to the project be the real reason he died? When Jack and Sarah take on the case, they will learn that what looked like an accident was - in fact - one very wild murder.
My Opinion: It’s in the little details, and with that, Jack and Sarah solve the case of Sam Lewis, a farmer who just wanted a corporation to go away therefore allowing him to enjoy his simple life with his wild boars. Others may not agree with me, but as the series goes on, the mystery part is getting more obscured. The reader may think a certain person knows more than they are telling, but another part will throw you off the trail -- not quite a red herring, but more along the lines of a distraction.
Then we get to the end, Sarah lets a feeling slip, and Jack falls back into a memory. The way these two dance around each other is delightful. I only wonder how long it will take for the idea to hit them at the same time.
