Welcome to Labrador Falls. Stop by What The Fluff pet groomers, where the always-positive Juliette Macintyre grooms your dogs into beautiful creations. Next, stop at Brewed Awakening for coffee, a pastry, and a curt greeting from the grumpy owner, Joel Cunningham. Two people couldn’t be more opposite than these two, but when they join forces to solve a murder in town, sparks fly like crazy in Angela Barker's THE DOG PARK MURDERS.

Juliette's foster dog, Digger, enjoys visiting the dog park in town, where all sorts of people congregate, and it's here that Juliette runs into her client Corinne, who has an Afghan hound. Corinne is a doll, but her ex-husband Maurice is a tyrant and an obnoxious dog owner. When Juliette intervenes as Maurice roughly handles the dog during a custody exchange, Maurice is none too happy with her. But when Maurice is found dead in the dog park with a leash around his neck, the police suspect Juliette. As Chief Dooley hounds Juliette and her pet grooming business suffers, Juliette enlists Joel to help her find the real killer.  As they investigate together, the perky Juliette and grumpy Joel begin seeing each other in a new light, and as they close in on the killer, they grow closer to each other.

THE DOG PARK MURDERS is a fast-paced, fun, upbeat mystery with a positive heroine and a wounded hero. Juliette has a tough past and feels like an outcast in her town, yet she remains eternally positive. Joel suffers from panic attacks stemming from a past tragedy that cost him his marriage. Together, Juliette and Joel mend their emotional wounds and find strength in each other. The mystery is well- plotted with numerous clues, including a valuable vinyl record, a house cleaner with eBay sales, a torn piece of fabric, and a leash used as a murder weapon. An equally interesting subplot involves Juliette's boss, Bonnie, who can't be reached while on a cruise. The question remains: Where is Bonnie? As Juliette continues investigating the murder, the suspense intensifies with escalating attacks, shattered windows, and another dead body. Beyond the compelling mystery, the novel offers romance, emotional healing, and quirky secondary characters. With an endearing cast, a charming small town, and two highly likable main leads, THE DOG PARK MURDERS provides a light, cozy mystery that hits all the right notes, especially for dog lovers!
