2023: Phoebe rescues a baby otter but who really is saving who?
Life and Otter Miracles
What you need to know before your trail
Nineteen-year-old Phoebe and her widower father Al have recently moved to Devon, to a small cottage with a river at the end of the garden.
Struggling with her own closely guarded issues, Phoebe doesn’t go out much. Instead, she spends her time at home, watching detective dramas and playing detective herself – trying to deduce from Al’s deliveries as a courier what kind of lives her neighbours lead.
But when they find an abandoned baby otter on the riverbank, it’s just the push Phoebe needs to finally step into her new community. Taking the little one to the local otter sanctuary and witnessing the uncomplicated joy of its fellow creatures, she feels a burgeoning sense of happiness that she has not experienced in a very long time.
However, Phoebe soon starts to suspect that something is amiss at the sanctuary – and she will need to put all her sleuthing skills to good use if she wants to save the otters . . .

Oh you simply have to go to Buckfast Butterfly Farm | Dartmoor Otters Sanctuary. This is the essence of the book and you will see the wonderful otters which appear in the novel. You will too fall in love with the little creatures and come to appreciate the novel on a whole new level.
The village in the book – Darleycombe – is fictional but it is clear that it’s a Devonshire village with only a few people there and a rural community to get to know.
