Misfit Mutts and Mayhem

Love the characters and the stories. The collection is great!!! I'm going to read it all!

Gina’s adversarial relationship with Heywood Sheriff Mallory comes to a head in this installment of the Heywood Hounds series. Her laziness and ineptitude for police work has had her targeting innocents for crimes, and Gina has been the one to actually solve them. Since Mallory fired Trevor for standing up to her in the previous book, and Gina has been campaigning for him to be the next sheriff. When a bartender is killed at a shady bar, Gina plans to steer clear of the investigation. That is until she becomes the prime suspect due to DNA evidence. Gina has no ties to the victim and has never been in the room where the crime occurred, so who is framing her and why? With bodies piling up around the case, she needs all the help she can get. Thankfully, she’s got Daisy’s super sniffer, Trevor’s insider at the station, a newspaper reporter, and Annabelle’s support, Gina is ready to find the killer and hopefully oust Mallory once and for all.

Gina’s talking dog, Daisy, is the star as always. This time around, she’s working her favorite new word, “diabolical”, in as much as possible. I love the relationship between Gina and Daisy, as it adds much humor to the story. Daisy also gets a chance to play service dog so that she can help sniff out clues. Gina doesn’t have any fosters in this book, but Mustard, from book 4, makes an appearance. The misfit mutts are strays that have been adopted by the bar, and Daisy makes friends with them. The book ends with a bit of a cliffhanger. While this murder is solved and Gina exonerated, the sheriff’s election is halted by an incident. I can’t wait to see what happens next for Gina, Daisy, and Trevor.

Gina and Daisy are once again on the job, another murder in the little town of Haywood.
While campaigning for Trevor as the next Sheriff, she is accused of murder.
Her DNA found at the murder scene. With the help of the awesome Daisy she will once again get caught up with some shady people to prove her innocence.
A small town with lots of colorful characters that seems to have quite a few murders.
Daisy is by far my favorite character in this entire series!

Gina is in very hot water and not just because it’s summertime in Arizona. When a murder occurs she thought she could stay out of it as she didn’t know them and no one she knows was wrongly accused and then she finds out that her DNA is at the crime scene. Gina is worried that the corrupt sheriff will finally be able to send her away. She’s got a lot of digging to do to get to the bottom of this one cause if she doesn’t she’s the one who’ll be locked away without a key.
Can I just say finally to the ending! Sheriff Mallory has been a thorn in the side of anyone who’s a good cop and a walking example of obstruction of justice. It’s about time she got taken out! Lots of new faces in the community which was fun to see. There’s plenty of wacky Daisy shenanigans too. Great story, I really enjoyed it! Can’t wait to see what happens with the election!.
