About this book:
“When a young woman knocks on the door asking for Harriet Bailey-Knight's late uncle, Harriet and her aunt Jinny are pulled into an unexpected mystery. Uncle Dom's friend, Joshua, had started a boutique pet food company with a partner years before. However, five years into their new enterprise, Joshua's partner accused him of embezzling money. Desperate for help, Joshua reached out to Dom, but tragedy struck—Joshua died before he could clear his name. Now Joshua's daughter, Anna Grace, desperately wants to discover the truth of what happened when she was a child. Harriet determines to help Anna Grace find the answers she seeks.
Meanwhile, Harriet gets a surprise request to step up as the lead vet for the annual puffin festival in Yorkshire. She's thrilled about the request, but not everyone is. Zoe, the assistant wildlife vet, claims Harriet isn't qualified. When an injured puffin is found, can Harriet and Zoe set aside their differences to help the animal?”

My personal Rating-
This was a great book in this series! It was well balanced between the animal parts with the puffins (loved hearing and learning about those especially) and then the mystery with the pet food company. I’ll admit that some parts showing a pet owner grieving her dog were hard for me to read as I relate to it, but other than those sad moments, I did really enjoy the book. The pacing was good and the light romance between Harriet and her husband was very sweet as well. It will be sad to say goodbye to this series next month when I review the final book in the series!
See y’all on Friday with a new review!
