Cottage Country Cozy Mysteries

Rocco. He’s got a nose for the news...but can he sniff out a killer? A 50-something local newspaper publisher and a pampered prince of a poodle stumble upon a shocking crime in a cottage-country small town. Who killed the mayor? It’s up to Zora Flynn and her nasty small poodle Rocco to sort out a distinctive cast of characters in the town of Williamsport and find the murderer. Meet Zora.
