Publisher Description
When Molly Madison, dog-wrangler extraordinaire, stumbles upon a murder in her new hometown, she must track down a killer to save the day.
Ex-police officer and former P.I. Molly Madison is starting over. After the death of her husband, she and her golden retriever, Harlow, move cross-country to California. But as charming and peaceful as the beachside town seems, she soon learns its tranquil tides hold dark secrets.
On her first day in the new house, a large, slobbering Saint Berdoodle wanders in. Molly winds up taking on the responsibility of training Noodle since his owner is too busy to do the job. On one of their daily beachside walks, Noodle digs up a severed hand. Once Molly alerts the police and they run a background check on her, an incident from her past makes her an immediate suspect—after all, Noodle’s testimony to clear her name won’t hold much water in court.
To prove her innocence, Molly must rely on instincts keener than a canine’s to sniff out the real killer. But when Molly’s life is put in danger, will her two very loyal pups be able to rescue her?
Customer Reviews
Predictable
Completely predictable from the very beginning. Slow and boring. There’s no question who the killer is or their motive. The author spends a great deal of time with irrelevant details about the narrator’s day, and way too much time with the dog training. I love dogs to the point of obsession, and even that was too much for me.
And the murder itself was way too gruesome and morbid for a cozy.
Also, the dog on the cover is a black lab. Neither of the two main dogs are black labs. What kind of oversight is that?
