When murder checks in… Will a new business go to the dogs? Sadie Barton never imagined that chasing her dream of opening a dog training and boarding business would catapult her into the middle of a murder investigation, but it turns out that life in a small town can be full of surprises. Teaming up with her best friend, Penny, she’s determined to revive an abandoned cozy roadside motel, that comes with kennels for their four-legged guests. With the help of a mysterious, tight-lipped tenant named Sam, the besties quickly whip the kennels into shape, and excitement builds for their grand pet-friendly open house event. Everything goes pawsitively perfectly, until a body is discovered in one of the motel rooms. Even worse, the crime mirrors the chilling murders that closed the motel two years ago. Was the wrong man convicted…or is there a dangerous copycat killer lurking in the shadows? Now, with suspicious locals, a motel full of secrets, and their brand-new business on the line, can Sadie and Penny follow the clues, sniff out the truth, and catch a killer, before the next victim checks in? Find out in this down-home pet-loving Cozy Mystery!

https://www.facebook.com/Patti-Bennin... When Cozy Mystery author, Patti Benning, isn’t busy plotting the deaths of multiple fictitious characters, she loves to spend time hiking with her rescue dog, Max, who is her bestest writing buddy. ​Patti loves to cook and the food in her books has been tried and tested in her very own kitchen. She’s technologically shy, and stays away from social media a great deal, because it makes her feel more awkward and introverted than meeting someone face to face. ​Writing is the perfect job for her because in her books, she gets to explore all the topics she loves, food, animals, crafts and reading. She loves her readers dearly, and is thankful for the opportunity to share with them through her work.
