With her former fiancé off finding himself and their
wedding plans kaput, Melanie Travis figures the only ring
she'll be seeing in the near future is one where she's
showing her prized poodles. But at least somebody still
believes in happily ever after: her brother Frank is about
to tie the knot with his true love, Bertie Kennedy. With
scant knowledge of tulle, favors, or cocktail hors
d'oeuvres, Melanie is content to leave the nuptial
arrangements to Sara Bentley, a fellow dog-handler
moonlighting as a wedding coordinator. But when Sara
vanishes without a trace, a panicked Bertie gives Melanie
a choice: either pinch-hit for Sara1or find out where she
is.
Opting for the latter, Melanie begins sniffing around into
Sara's past&3151;and unearths far more trouble than she
bargained for when Sara's cottage burns to the gorund and
a woman's body is found in the rubble. There are plenty of
people who might have reason to want Sara dead—from Maris
Kincaid, a disgruntled dog groomer; to Debra Silver,a
competitor whose dog had been poisoned a decade ago; to
Josh Bennett, her embittered ex-boyfriend. Even Sara's own
family seems oddly unconcerned about her
disappearance...but are the blue-blooded Bentleys cold-
blooded enough to kill one of their own?
What became of Sara isn't the only mystery on Melanie's
hands. For some reason, her ex-husband has resurfaced and
is following her around like a lovesick puppy. Bob can't
possibly want to rekindle their old relationship...or does
he?
Melanie soon realizes that despite the best-laid plans,
anything can happen, from a rekindled romance to high-
spirited canine hijinks to a surprise human pregnancy. And
when it comes to Sara Bentley, nothing is certain—except
that it's up to Melanie to stop a murderer in his—or her—
tracks.
