Watered Down Death: A Small Town Hiding Gruesome Secrets! (Coppin's Locks Mystery Series, #1)

This cozy whodunit finds the elderly Dr. Bill Whitehall dead in the churning waters of the mill at the bottom of his garden in Coppin's Locks. Was it suicide or is there a killer in the idyllic small village of Coppin's Locks?
Monica Goodwood and her business partner, Erin O'Malley, owners of Rocking Horse Antiques, dive into discovering the truth about the demise of the old curmudgeon, a man whose best bedside manner was reserved for animals in need and not people in pain. 
On the home front Monica isn't sure that she's ready to give up her single life to the divine Patrick while her Mother Joyce means well but manages to meddle in her business affairs.
Coppin's Locks with its British style pub, cozy tea shop, trendy boutiques and colorful characters is abuzz with curiosity. Who wanted the grumpy old man dead? Was it one of the locals, who all seem to have alibis tinged with lies, or is the death linked to the past with hidden details kept secret for decades? And why does the old black and white photograph found in a bureau seem so important to somebody? 
 At least one person in town knows the truth, but nobody is talking! And, the biggest fear in this quiet backwater is, will the killer strike again?

Larissa Reynolds writes: "Loved this little mystery set in the quaint town of Coppin's Locks. Lots of delightful and quirky characters led by antique shop owners and amateur sleuths Monica and Erin. Looking forward to more in this series!"

About the Author

About the Author

Lucinda D. Davis has been reading and loving mystery stories since she was old enough to haunt the narrow rows of books at the small Quebec, Canada village library where she spent her summers.

After decades of penning ad copy, marketing, and writing for horse sport magazines, she decided to do what people had been telling her to do for years: write some books!

She presently lives in a small hamlet on the beautiful Rideau Canal in Ontario, Canada. Her living room view looks out over the locks and waterways. This idyllic setting replete with friends, and more than a few interesting characters inspired her Boddington Bay series of short 'coffee break' cozy mysteries.

Her longer Coppin's Lock series brings England to the Canadian countryside!

The stories introduce readers to a trendy town in Ontario, Canada that could have been plucked from the English landscape, quirky characters included! Take the essential and quintessential British tea shop, pub and antique shop, throw in two female sleuths, add a Police Chief left shaking his head and you've got the ideal cozy mystery.

While the girls may roam from home from time to time, their hearts are firmly set in Coppin's Locks!
