2 journalers for this copy...
This paperback was given to me by my friend Audrey W. for bookcrossing.
It tells the story of Thea Osborne who embarks on a house-sitting commission with her dog. Within days she finds a body hanging from the rafters in one of the barns. but was it suicide or murder??
My husband has read and enjoyed this book and it will now go onto my shelves until I can fit it into one of Plum-Crazy's monthly "What to read" themes-see under Book Talk in The Forum.

REVIEW:-" I read a fair portion of this book before giving up and skimming quickly to the end. I felt that the plot was unnecessarily complicated and the story was rather far-fetched too at times."

Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.
I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.
When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.

Journal Entry 4 by greenbadger at St Albans, Hertfordshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, January 25, 2022
Received from the UK Wishlist Tag game, thank you very much!
Thea is back housesitting in another beautiful Cotswold village, this time for a family who have left an assortment of animals for her to care for while they're on holiday. When a young man is found hanging in one of the barns, Thea thinks it must be suicide, but the amount of police activity indicates otherwise. The handsome Superintendent Phillip Hollis is back. Thea's sister, with trouble at home, is drawn into the issues in Frampton Mansell. A fun read.
