About this eBook

Nailing a murderer is difficult… but so is dealing with a cranky talking dog.

When the owner of Hammer and Nail Hardware is found dead, Gina's most loyal customer, Erika, becomes the prime suspect.

Despite having every reason to kill Molly Burton, Erika vehemently denies involvement and pleads with Gina to help uncover the real murderer. With almost all evidence pointing to Erika, Gina and her talking dog, Daisy, along with Deputy Trevor Hutchinson, delve into the secrets concealed behind the aisles of the hardware store. However, the clues they unearth leave them with more questions than answers.

Adding to the chaos, Gina takes in a bonded pair of dogs who prefer solitude. Daisy is determined to break them up, despite Gina's pleas to let them be.

As danger escalates, can Gina and Daisy hammer out the details and expose the true murderer?

Ratings and reviews

I enjoy Gina's adventures with her talking dog Daisy, between solving murders, fostering rescue dogs and running a business, her life is always entertaining. Diasy is hilarious with her talking narratives. The story is fast paced and there are several suspects to complicate the mystery. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This is such a fun series. I can relate to Gina and I adore Daisy. She is dramatic and adds a lot of humor. This was an interesting mystery because no one was quite what they seemed. I enjoy Trevor and Gina working together I was completely surprised by who the guilty party was. And the bombshell at the end has me anxious for the next book!

Brilliant! Great story, Gina and Daisy can communicate with each other very well for a dog and owner . That’s because this dog can talk … great mystery series that’s like having a friend round for a cuppa immersive. Suspects are racking up but with this duo on the trail ,it won’t go stale…with a little help from Deputy Trevor of course….
