"The town hosting a murder mystery weekend gets a shock when a real person is found dead"

MURDER MOST HOWL

Mystery Cozy | Mystery Pet Lovers | Mystery Amateur Sleuth

MURDER MOST HOWL is set in a town called Wagtail, the most pet friendly town in America. A beautiful town where animals roam safe and people don't go anywhere without their pets. The town is hosting a murder mystery weekend that's off to a shocking start when a real body is discovered.

The murder victim is the most disliked person in town and the suspects pile up. Holly Miller the co-owner of Sugar Maple Inn and her friend Val, the owner of the local watering hole are putting on the event. Holly seems to be discovering more clues than the police as she keeps looking into the real murder while everyone else, except the police, look into the fake one. As she keeps the police informed the clues and suspect list grow longer and longer.

I have to admit when I saw this book I couldn't figure out why I had picked it to review, it's not my normal type of book. A cozy mystery about a pet loving town. I think it was sent to me on mistake, but I love my dog, so I read it. I'm glad I did it was a pleasant surprise. Krista Davis does a wonderful job of keeping the reader guessing and reading. MURDER MOST HOWL is full of interesting characters and a fun group of people in a town I'd like to live in. My dogs would sure enjoy getting to eat next to me in restaurants and order the same stuff I do.

MURDER MOST HOWL is a fun, cozy and good mystery, I didn't put the book down once I picked it up and started reading. Krista Davis has a new fan.

SUMMARY

The New York Times bestselling author of THE GHOST AND
MRS. MEWER and THE
DIVA STEALS A CHOCOLATE KISS returns with a tail of a ruff
winter…

This January, Wagtail, Virginia, the top pet-friendly
destination in the country,
is throwing a fun murder mystery weekendβ€”but no one expected
the real thing...

Holly Miller is delighted her grandmother has finally left the
Sugar Maple Inn to
take a well-deserved vacation. It means Holly’s in charge, but
running the inn
might be more challenging than she realized. Wagtail’s throwing
a weekend-long
murder mystery game to draw in tourists during the slow season,
the inn has a full
house, and a blizzard is on the way.

Trouble is unleashed the night the game begins, when the storm
blows in and the
lights go out. It gets worse the following morning when
Holly’s Jack Russell
terrier, Trixie, discovers a bodyβ€”one that’s actually dead. Now
Holly, her calico
kitten Twinkletoes, and Trixie must play by the rules and find
one dirty dog...

Delicious recipes for owners and pets included!
