About the Books: The collection opens with Barking Up the Right Tree, where Emily, reeling from a break-up and job loss, inherits a cottage and a puppy from her late great-aunt and moves to Ashton Mead for a quiet new start. Instead she uncovers long-buried village secrets, with Poppy's help piecing together clues no one else will face, in a warm, reflective story blending healing with a slow-building mystery. In Barking Mad, Emily is more settled into village life when a neighbour's suspicious drowning throws Ashton Mead into turmoil, and whispers of suspicion draw her and Poppy deeper into the investigation, with sharp dialogue and shrewd clues keeping the pace lively without losing the cosy charm. Finally, in Poppy Takes The Lead, tensions boil over when Emily clashes with an intimidating local family and a murder puts her firmly in the frame, raising the emotional stakes and exploring courage, loyalty and the bond between Emily and her ever-watchful puppy. Across all three books, Russell balances real jeopardy with humour and heart, crafting mysteries that reward attentive readers while keeping a gentle, comforting tone throughout, and fans of village-set crime fiction and amateur sleuths will find plenty to enjoy as Emily rebuilds her life and discovers a real knack for solving crimes that baf
