Kipper Cottage Mysteries features Liz McLuckie, her dog Nelson, and her friends Mags, Tilly, Kevin, Gillian and Benedict. Liz took an early retirement after her husband’s death and invested in two fishing cottages – Gull and Kipper.
Set in the picturesque fishing town of Whitby in North Yorkshire, the series follows Liz’s amateur sleuthing adventures. Liz finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery often. Kevin (Benedict’s son) is a policeman and he discusses the case with Liz – shh, don’t tell his boss! Mags and Tilly own The Bluemoon Café , Liz’s favorite food destination. Then there is Gillian, the local reverend and Benedict, a handsome man and Liz’s might-be/would-be (I certainly hope so!) love interest. Then there is Iris. She’s a tad SHORT OF HEARING and SPEAKS LOUDLY.
Of course, one has to mention Nelson, an English bull terrier – the ugliest and probably the bravest dog in the whole of Yorkshire.
#1: Death at the Abbey
Death at the Abbey is the first book in this series. Liz and Nelson are on their early morning stroll when Nelson discovers the body of a local professor near the medieval abbey. Postmortem suggests the victim drowned to his death. In that case, why was his body found on the clifftop? And why did he have a fish in his pocket?
