Following Emily, who swaps heartbreak for a fresh start in the sleepy Wiltshire village of Ashton Mead, this set blends gentle suspense with warmth, humour and the company of her rescue puppy, Poppy. Ideal for adult readers who love a lighter take on crime fiction, these three paperbacks deliver community intrigue and unexpected danger, making the set a lovely gift for mystery fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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 baffle everyone else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree complete cosy crime mysteries from bestselling author Leigh Russell in one great-value set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows much-loved characters Emily and Poppy across an engaging, evolving story arc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for adult readers who enjoy gentle suspense without excessive violence or grit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA charming rural setting and a lovable puppy add heart and humour to every twist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakes an excellent gift for crime fiction fans, dog lovers and cosy mystery enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLeigh Russell is a bestselling British crime writer whose books have sold over a million copies worldwide.
