About this eBook

Meet Allie Babcock – The Audacious Dog Therapist with a Flair for Sleuthing
At her brand new shop in Boulder, Allie’s very first client is a dejected collie whose previous owner allegedly took her own life. But with a natural nose for crime, Allie soon suspects murder – leaving her dejected canine client as possibly the sole witness to the crime.
With the scent fresh, Allie is quickly on the case – but a second murder curtails her investigation. Before taking another step, Allie needs to count her enemies: several suspicious dog owners, a boyfriend with a temper (and a demand for vengeance!), and a mysterious door-to-door salesman with a curious tale to tell...
Bizarre salesman, vicious boyfriend and suspect dog owners – one thing is for sure – Allie’s life may never be safe until one of these characters lands in the pen...

Ratings and reviews

I read this book sometime ago. The thing that attracted me was the Collie dog cover. I am an animal lover. I felt this book was an easy read with mystery, adventure and humor. Couldn't put it down. It was well written with good descriptions so that you could see the scenes with a little imagination. Very entertaining. A pure joy.

I really enjoyed the twists and turns as well as the fact that the author doesn't spend paragraph after paragraph describing the characters or locations - that gives the story a rapid pace!

Animal lovers will Love this book. Plus it is a murder mystery, that keeps you guessing until the end.
