Julia Bird loves a walk in the countryside. There’s nothing quite like the fresh air and green rolling hills of the Cotswolds to clear your head. Unless you come across a dead body, that is…
Definitely a book to read. I was pulled into the story and it did not let go. The book is well written with a strong character driven story and many a twists and turns
Recommended 4 star read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Murderous Turn...
The sixth outing in the Julia Bird series of mysteries, Cotswolds set, and a walk takes a murderous turn when the body of the local vet is discovered. Whilst the police deem the death a tragic accident and no more, Julia takes a completely different opinion. An opinion that is soon vindicated when another dead body appears in exactly the same location. Another enjoyable and entertaining entry to the series with a well drawn cast, a likeable protagonist in Julia, a well imagined setting and a solid mystery at its heart.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Julia Bird is retired and living in the Cotswolds and comes across a dead body on a country walk. Knowing the deceased, Julia can’t let the circumstances go and decides to investigate herself.

This is a cosy crime novel, if you love a who sun it and you love dogs, this is the book for you. Shorter than my normal reads and easy to plough through!

This was another enjoyable read about Julia Bird's life in Berrywick, a sweet little town in the Cotswalds. Jake, the chocolate lab, hurts his tail by wagging it too much. Julia takes him to Eve Davies, the vet, who prescribes some pills and some tail rest. A few days later, Julia is walking Jake up a hill when she finds Eve's dog standing alone at the top of the hill. Reaching down to pick up the dog, Julia see Eve's body lying far below, arms and legs spread out at weird angles. She is dead from falling from the hilltop. Did she jump or was she pushed? Julia sets about to learn the truth.

I really enjoy these books. Julia is a great character and has such a good life - chickens to collect eggs from, a fun volunteer job and a lovely boyfriend. And the "l" word is being thought about between her and Sean. Some gentle humour and discussion of dogs throughout this book. More please!
