The Shattered Bauble (A Jurassic Coast Mystery) Book 3

It's Christmas in Lyme Regis, and DC Tina Abbott is looking forward to some well-earned time with her family.

But then her mum Annie, true to form, reports a crime. The pottery shop has been broken into and the owner Peg, Annie's friend, attacked.

The evidence is scant. A solitary fingerprint in blood, but nothing stolen, at least as far as the police can tell.

But when Annie discovers a gaudy pottery reindeer that was left at the scene of the crime, she and her swimming club friends get drawn into the mystery.

Was the man who attacked Peg the same man PC Dougie Anderson almost ran over on the night of the crime? Why does the local councillor keep turning up? Does the car Annie saw leaving the scene belong to her friend Rosamund's husband? And just what's going on at the dilapidated café across the way from the pottery?

The Shattered Bauble is a Christmassy mystery which makes an ideal gift for anyone who loves whodunnits, the stunning Jurassic Coast, or evil seagulls.
