Phyllis has retired from teaching school. Her new hobby is baking and on the side trying to solve murder cases.

Who would have thought by baking cookies for a Halloween party for animals she would stumble onto her next murder case. You see, the local vet Hank as been accused of murdering his wife. Phyllis and her friend Sam feel that there is no way that an animal lover would kill his wife.

Phyllis and Sam are on the case. They are going to do what ever they can to try and get to the bottom of this. Does Hank have the TRICK OR DEADLY TREAT?

This is the first book that I have read by Livia J Washburn. It was really good, the way Ms. Washburn writes gets you right into the book. And to top it off, all the recipes that are mentioned in the book, are included at the end. The ones that I really liked are the ones that are simple dog treats.

TRICK OR DEADLY TREAT is a fast read. This is the kind of book that I enjoy. From start to finish, I was engrossed in the book and finished it in one day.
