Two families, one feud… and a killer who picked the wrong week to visit. It’s the start of a brand-new year and motel-and-kennel owner Sadie Barton is hoping for a fresh beginning. Instead, she and her best friend Penny are knee-deep in chaos. They’ve accidentally double-booked their feuding families for a visit during the same week, while trying to juggle a newly bustling motel and the restart of Sadie’s dog training classes. When a peaceful walk takes a dark turn and the body of an elderly man is discovered in the river, what first appears to be a tragic accident soon seems to be suspiciously sinister. With family tensions running higher than ever, Sadie and Penny find themselves leading an investigation where everyone, even their parents, has a theory and a stake in the outcome. Can Sadie keep the peace in her family and her business long enough to sniff out a killer? Or will this be the New Year’s resolution that puts her in the crosshairs? Find out in this Canine Cozy Mystery full of heart, humor, and homicide that will keep you turning the pages long after midnight!
