Murder, She Barked by Krista Davis
(Paws and Claws Mystery #1)
284 pages / 9 hrs, 38 mins
"Holly Miller's life has gone to the dogs. She has no job, her boyfriend's former flame is sniffing around, and a scruffy but loveable Jack Russell Terrier is scattering crumbs all over her borrowed car. Just when she thought things couldn't get worse, a troubling phone call about her grandmother sends her rushing home to the family inn on Wagtail Mountain.
"The staff--and a frisky Calico kitten named Twinkletoes--adopts Holly and her new dog on arrival. But someone in this friendly town is bad to the bone. One of the employees at the inn has been killed in a hit-and-run accident--which is looking anything but accidental. Now Holly and her furry companions will have to nose out the murderer before someone else gets muzzled." --from the publisher
This has all the makings of a great cozy mystery. The only weakness, imho, is the ending. The characters are likable, the peaceful, mountain setting is wonderful, and who wouldn't want to have an old-fashioned inn in the family! I'll try the next in the series before giving up.
