This dog knows where the truth is buried … When the popular Esmeralda’s Beach Bar goes up in smoke, Clara Mitchell dashes into the blaze to save the owner. She finds herself not only a local heroine but entrenched in the mystery of whether the fire was a simple accident, or something far more sinister. Haunted by strange, recurring dreams at night, while the mystery of the fire plagues her waking hours, Clara also finds herself lonely after her boyfriend relocates for work. It’s no wonder she finds solace in the adoption of lost Cocker Spaniel, Sunflower. Senior Constable Adam Billings has his hands full investigating the fire and discovering the identity of a John Doe washed up on the beach. As he ponders whether the two events are related, revelations about his girlfriend’s family cause him to reconsider where his future lies—and with whom. As her curious new canine friend leads her on a wild goose chase all over Lemon Tree Bay, Clara once again finds herself knee-deep in solving a complex crime—but this time, will her digging prove deadly? The Spaniel’s Secret is the second book in the Lemon Tree Bay Mysteries – a baffling, cosy, romantic series by award-winning author, Megan Mayfair.
