Between her boisterous sons and a house full of poodles,
there’s never a dull moment for Melanie Travis. But no
matter how hectic life gets, she can always pick up the
scent of a howling good mystery—and she’ll stop at nothing
to dig up the truth…
Summer means two things to Melanie Travis: a break from
her teaching duties at Connecticut’s elite Howard Academy
and a chance to plan the perfect wedding to her fiancée,
Sam. She certainly doesn’t need the unwelcome arrival of a
dinner invitation “peace offering” from Sam’s ex-wife,
Sheila Vaughn. To make matters worse, Sheila announces her
temporary stay in town is now permanent: she’s accepted a
job as co-publisher of Woof!, a new gossip rag for the dog
show world. But before the first issue is even out, a
hotter story breaks when Sheila is found dead, strangled
with a leather dog leash.
As far as Melanie’s concerned, the woman should have been
on a leash long ago. And it seems she isn’t alone in her
dislike of Sheila. Some of Woof!’s salacious stories
threatened to expose the dirty paws of quite a few
important exhibitors, and someone on Sheila’s staff may
have found her high-handed attitude worth silencing. Now,
it will take the instincts of a bloodhound to sniff out a
killer who’s bent on putting an end to Melanie’s amateur
sleuthing…
