Greg Mosse, author of the bestselling Maisie Cooper Mysteries'An excellent procedural featuring a likable heroine and her talented canine partner' Kirkus ReviewsMeet Sergeant Ali Wren and her trusty companion Officer Police Dog Wilson, a springer spaniel with a nose for trouble. Together they serve the small Yorkshire town of Heft, where everyone knows everyone else’s business. And if they don’t, that’s a cause for concern…Ali, who has just returned home to Heft, needs all her diplomatic skills, not to mention a huge sense of humour, to navigate the requirements of her job. Drama lurks around every corner, from rogue parking in the disabled bays to a feud between the long-established Hooley bakery and a fancy new ‘cakery-bakery’. When Brian Bright reports his wife Melody missing, at first Ali thinks it’s just another routine case. The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Melody has simply left, tired of playing a supporting role to Brian’s obsession with classic cars and his first (dead) wife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut something niggles. When Ali and Wilson doggedly continue their investigation, they find there was more to Melody than anyone realised – and more to her disappearance too…\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100426780931,"sku":"9781835012284","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.live\/products\/9781835012284","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
