Can a murder investigation keep these opposites from
attracting?

Cara Rogers wants a fresh start after a slew of bad luck in
Washington DC. Moving to Virginia to help her aunt run La
Maison de Chien, a doggie spa, is just the peace of mind she
needs. No
stress. Just her aunt, the dogs, and wide-open country.

But when she finds Aunt Marian floating in the doggie
swimming pool, the rest she so desperately needs flies out
the window. The only witness to the death is Rex, an apricot
maltipoo, and while he may not be able to talk, he’s
communicating the only way he knows how—one paw at a time.
And Rex’s clues lead to murder.

Can Cara keep the doggie spa afloat, convince Middleburg
homicide detective Cole Sampson that Aunt Marian’s death was
no accident, and keep Rex from the killer’s clutches before
they all
end up as dead as dogs?
