Doggone It


Book Description

Three dog loving sleuths. A dead body. An innocent man jailed for murder. When Dana Fox, feisty mother of two, discovers the dead body of a bullying poodle breeder at the dog show, the Chicks are pushed deep into the middle of another mystery. The wrong man is in jail and it's up to Dana, leader of the pack, Abigail Truelove, owner of Pampered Pooch, and Molly Gibson, a shy romance writer, to collar the real killer. Solving this mystery isn't as easy as depicted in the Agatha Christie books shelved in the Chicks' local library. Far from it. Especially when the victim is the most hated man in the show world and the suspect list reads like an open phone directory. Dealing with a wacky fortune teller, a hot gym instructor, homeless guys armed with shopping trolleys, Queen Bee of the Yummy Mummies and an English Lord called Dumpling would keep even the inimitable Poirot himself awake at nights. And just when they think they’ve cracked the case – another dead body says otherwise...




Dog on It


Book Description

I could smell him - or rather the booze on his breath - before he even opened the door, but my sense of smell is pretty good, probably better than yours. So begins this fabulous, funny new detective novel featuring Bernie, a slightly down-at-heel PI; and his off sider, Chet, a dog - and the captivating narrator of the story. Chet may have flunked out of police school (I'd been the best leaper in K-9 class, which had led to all the trouble in a way I couldn't remember exactly, although blood was involved), but he's just as much a detective as Bernie - superior, sometimes, in his insight into human foibles. In Dog On It, their first adventure, Chet and Bernie investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl who may or may not have been kidnapped, but who's definitely gotten herself mixed up with some very unsavoury characters.
