The Perils of Poison

 The Perils of Poison

The Lemon Tree Bay Series #3

Megan Mayfair



Reviewed by Helen


I am loving this series, it is a great cosy mystery romance set in a beautiful small town on the beach and Clara the hairdresser can’t help herself but investigate again when their yoga teacher is poisoned this of course leads to danger for her and then there is the relationship with her boyfriend Lucas and trouble brewing with ex-boyfriend Adam Billings the cop.

When the yoga teacher Emerald is poisoned this starts an investigation and some revelations about her true identity, then Gigi Clara’s assistant hairdresser’s boyfriend Ollie vanishes are the two related? Clara can’t help herself after the hair salon is broken into on the night of the masked ball, and she discovers Ollie dead and some more evidence.

Senior Constable Adam Billings is throwing himself into the investigation to try and discover the truth, he is also thinking constantly about Clara and worrying whether or not Lucas is the right person for her. Convinced that Emerald and Ollie’s deaths are linked he then finds himself in trouble and in hospital, this pushes Clara to dig deeper and of course more danger.

Clara is good at investigating murders and again uncovers the killer but it seems her premonitions are starting up again she loves Lucas but with Adam so close things are getting more troublesome for her. This is really a great series with wonderful characters and a fabulous setting, I was guessing till close to the end, Megan Mayfair writes wonderful stories that pull her readers in and keep them turning the pages, I can’t wait for the next one to see how life turns out for Clara. I do highly recommend this story and the series.

My thanks to the author for my copy to read and review.
