Okay, another of those "why did it take me so long to start this series?" books. Unfortunately it took the death of Robin Hathaway to get me moving.
Dr. Andrew Fenimore is a surgeon who spends his free time as a private eye. When he stumbles across a dead body while helping a young man bury a cat he gets involved with the investigation of the girls death.
There are plenty of twists and turns making a satisfying mystery. I can't wait to read more in the series.

Dr Fenimore and his new friend, Horatio, find a body when they try to bury his cat. Dr Fenimore tries to find out who murdered this bride-to-be who had so much to live for. I like the characters a lot. I wish he could be my doctor.
A cozy mystery starring Andrew Fenimore MD - cardiologist and part-time private investigator. Light, fun reading. A few itmes didn't ring true, but I'll keep reading the series.
