Review: Ottercombe Bay: Part One - Where There's a Will

Ottercombe Bay: Part One - Where There's a Will by Bella Osborne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have already read parts 2, 3 and 4 of this serial but when I was offered the first part by the publisher my OCD need to read a series in its entirety kicked in and I just had to read it.

This is where it all begins. Daisy Wickens has returned to her home town of Ottercombe Bay in Devon, after years travelling Europe doing a series of low-paid jobs, following her uncle's death. She learns that her uncle has left her the old railway station and one-third of his savings - IF she stays in Ottercombe Bay for 12 months.

At first Daisy is disdainful of the small town and its quaint customs but as she reconnects with her old school friend Tamsyn and Jason, who is now the local policeman, and the infuriatingly opinionated Max as well as her aunt Coral and her spoilt pug Bugsy Malone she comes to see some of its charms. Then when she finds out exactly how much money she stands to inherit, Daisy thinks she might be able to stick around for a bit longer.

Each part of this four part story ends in a cliffhanger, it's lighthearted and the village fete scene made me laugh out loud.

An enjoyable short read.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
