Two loyal dogs. One dark discovery. Sadie Barton is thrilled to welcome some very special guests to her motel and boarding facility, a pair of German Shepherds from Michigan with impressive search and rescue training. She’s expecting tail wags and adventure-filled walks, but what she discovers is a much darker reality. On their very first evening stroll, Atlas alerts on something that seems to be hidden beneath the forest floor. Sadie has no idea he’s a cadaver dog, and when she investigates, her heart sinks. His keen senses have unearthed a skeleton, and with it a whole mess of trouble. Now the motel’s already tenuous reputation is hanging by a thread, and whispers of murder could scare away the few customers Sadie has left. Determined to clear her facility’s name, Sadie pulls out all the stops to solve the mystery. Can Sadie and her talented canine friends sniff out a killer before her business goes belly up? Find out in this exciting 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.
