Carly Winter has taken the typical cozy mystery setup and added one crazy element that makes this series adorable. A cute fluffy dog - that talks. Dog rescuer Gina Dunner hit her head and now she can hear he dog Daisy talk to her telepathically. If she told anyone that she can hold conversations with her dog, they would think that she is crazy, so she can't always answer back. Gina is one busy lady. She runs the local dog rescue. is a ghost writer and owns a nail salon. As if she isn't busy enough, she has also managed to establish herself as and amature sleuth and comes running when her friend becomes like a murder suspect. The local sheriff is incompetent and Gina teams up with the Trevor, the very cute deputy, to help gather clues.Carly Winters has created one lovable pup. Gina and Trevor are cute characters, but the dialog with the dog is hysterical. The clues are all there to follow. Although the solution is no big surprise, there are plenty of red herrings to keep both Gina and the reader guessing for a while. The subplot involves a golden retriever wh has been left on gina's porch. The dog is big, destructive and won't obey at all. Golden's are supposed to be smart, but this one seems to be quite stupid. Zeus's antics reminded me of my own golden retriever who was also big, blonde and dumb. I loved the interplay between the two dogs. I received this an electronic review copy of this book, but I can honestly recommend the series to furry cozy and paranormal cozy fans.This one earns four dog treats!
I received an ARC and this is my voluntary review. A fun clean cozy in a great series that jeeps getting better. Lots of action and suspense with a murder, bikers,ex-cons and Gina's dad's murky past. A great fast read that has Daisy( Gina's dog) helping to find a murderer. A good fun read that I found hard to put down and read it in one sitting.
Gina is living in a nightmare her boy Jacob has been charged with murder. There’s no way her sweet kid committed this crime so she needs to find out who, while keeping him safe from the inept and vindictive sheriff. With a very unexpected visit and a hyperactive puppy she’s got a lot to juggle, but a mother’s got to do what a mother’s got to do.
This was a story full of surprises. Some good, some bad some eh. I felt for Gina she tries so hard and to have her kid in this situation is surreal. There were plenty of twists and a slew of suspects and an investigation that had to be conducted under the radar. Great story and a doozy of an ending!.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
