New in the national bestselling Josie Marcus, Mystery
Shopper series, from the Agatha and Anthony Award-winning
author of the Dead End Job Mystery series.
Mystery shopper Josie Marcus is getting the dirt on doggy
day-care centers, and discovers that one dog-loving local
celebrity is really bad to the bone.
Josie has been asked to investigate Uncle Bob’s Doggy Day
Camp, known for its commercials featuring Uncle Bob liking
dogs so much that he acts like one. But Josie soon learns
how Uncle Bob acts when the cameras are off. Her mother’s
new tenant, Franklin, who works for Uncle Bob, plans to
quit
after seeing the man’s true nature. But before he gets the
chance, Bob is murdered, and Franklin goes from the
doghouse
to the big house.
Now it’s up to Josie to clear Franklin’s name. Her
investigation reveals that Bob was more of a dog than
anyone
knew—and had been kicked out of his house for bad
behavior.
As she digs up new clues, Josie will have to catch the
killer quickly, before any more trouble is unleashed.

From your lips to my publisher's ears, Peggy. I know people like to pamper their pets, but I wa surprised by the luxuries for dogs -- even massages and blueberry facials. Give me a dog's life! (Elaine Viets 2:47pm December 10, 2014)
