Barkview Mysteries

Welcome to Barkview-America's dog-friendliest city, where secrets have sharp teeth and trouble always comes on four legs. When investigative reporter Cat Wright-a reluctant cat lover stuck in a town obsessed with dogs-gets tangled in a missing show dog scandal, she expects drama. What she doesn't expect is murder. On live TV, the mayor's glamorous wife storms Cat's set, accusing Cat's beloved Aunt Char-a renowned dog psychiatrist and Cavalier breeder-of dognapping Lady Margaret, her prized champion. Minutes later, a gun goes off, and chaos erupts. Before the night is over, Lynda Smythe is dead, Lady Mag is missing, and all paws point to Aunt Char as the prime suspect. With Barkview's elite battling for the coveted Cavalier Crown, the competition turns deadly. Someone will do anything to win-even kill. Following a trail of missing dogs, diamond-studded collars, and buried rivalries, Cat must dig into Barkview's darkest secrets before another champion-or another person-ends up dead. Quirky characters, laugh-out-loud humor, and an irresistible canine cast make this first Barkview Mystery a perfect read for fans of Ellery Adams, Laurien Berenson, and Janet Evanovich.
