Dog Gone and Dead

The New Orleans Go Cup Chronicles, Book 5

De: Colleen Mooney

Narrado por: Alyson Krawchuk

A much needed vacation turns deadly.

A weekend getaway at the beach with Jiff was just what they both needed, but their plans for a relaxing escape are ruined when Brandy discovers a dead body under a pier.

Does a dog hold the key to solving the case?

There’s a leash wrapped around the dead woman’s wrist and no dog. Brandy finds the missing dog and more than she bargained for with flash drives sewn in the dog’s collar. Brandy learns the murdered woman’s ex-husband is connected to the sleepy little beach town in more ways than the dead body. The local Policewoman thinks Brandy could help if she agrees to go undercover.

Will Brandy’s determination to find the truth make her the next target in a world with hit men, payoffs and murder?

Great series.

I have both listened to and read this story and enjoyed it more than once. This is a story you want to continue and you have to get the next one in series to find out what the characters do. Alyson Krawchuk does a great job as the narrator and you can visualize the story as she reads.

Another wonderful Brandy Alexander story

Even on vacation, Brandy manages to find a dead body. The story was good but overall, I did not enjoy this one quite as much as previous stories. I think the reason being it was missing some of the quirky secondary characters that I have loved in the first books. It was still a wonderful installment in the series and I look forward to listening to the remaining books in the series.
Narration was great as usual and makes the characters come alive. I received a copy of this audiobook for free at my own request and am leaving this review voluntarily.

Dog Gone and Dead

Brandy and her lawyer boyfriend, Jiff, are on vacation at the beach for a much needed rest. She manages to badger Jiff into getting up to go to the beach where he finds a dead body. Brandy recognizes the make of a dog leash with the name of the dog on it. Jiff sends her to find a phone to call the cops. From this point on Brandy can't help but be involved as she goes on a search for the missing dog. This search leads her to a local men's review show where she burns and not from the sun!! Meanwhile Jiff isn't too happy about this particular undercover op.
Alyson Krawchuk brings the characters to life and her voice is fabulous!
Fantastic audio and story!!

Cute

Dog Gone and Dead is a cute cozy mystery with great characters. The storyline held my attention and the narrator did a nice job with the performance.

The beach is murder

Dog Gone and Dead is Book 5 in the New Orleans Go Cup Series by Colleen Mooney. I really am enjoying this series. Brandy and her boyfriend, Jiff, are on a weekend trip. The beach is supposed to be fun, not murder. Jiff and Brandy discovered a body under the pier just out of the water. There is a dog leash and a missing dog. Of course Brandy must look for the dog and maybe just find a few clues to the murder. Alyson Krawchuk is fabulous in the narration. Colleen Mooney writes wonderful stories with characters that I believe in and her writing has such good humor. I can't wait to read book 6 and see what Brandy gets into next!

Not your typical walk on the beach

Brandy and Jiff go on a much needed vacation. Never did the expect that their early morning walk on the beach would lead to a full blown police investigation. Leave it to Brandy to piece things together and even do a little undercover work. So much for the vacation!

I really enjoyed this short cozy mystery by Colleen Mooney. I love how the main character, Brandy, continues to grow as the series progresses. While I’d recommend listening to all the stories in the series, this book definitely works as a stand-alone as well. If you’re looking for an interesting cozy mystery with a few twists and turns, Dog Gone and Dead won’t disappoint!

This was an entertaining narration by Alyson Krawchuk. Her pace was perfect for the story.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Coastal Mystery with a canine companion

Enjoyable light hearted murder mystery that involves a couple on a coastal vacation with complications. There are plenty of local characters to keep you guessing who did the deed. I loved that the duo are compatible & in love with each other minus any angst. The addition of them being animal lovers who find & care for the dead dames dog is wonderful. This is a perfect caper for a relaxing read & a great series of sleuthing stories. I also enjoyed reading about all the places in my local NWFL area!

A fun mystery perfect for the beach

When I go to the lake, the beach, or a poolside retreat, Colleen Mooney’s cozy mysteries always find a spot in my beach bag. I’ve read a few of her books now, enough to know the perfect read for a relaxing summer escape or a cold winter night cuddled up by a fire––and DOG GONE And DEAD, a book from her Brandy Alexander Mysteries, didn’t disappoint.
A beach vacation is the last place one would want to be drawn into a murder case, unless that person is Brandy Alexander––love the name. While taking a walk, she discovers a dead body under a pier. The dead woman is clinging to a dog leash, but the dog seems to have escaped his master’s fate. Immediately, Brandy and her boyfriend, Jiff, are on the case. Searching for the lost dog, she discovers several possible suspects, but her investigative instincts ultimately prevail.
I love stories that include dogs, so Rascal drew me in on page one. This author writes such fun cozies. I love her style and humor, her characters are lovable, and her plots weave enough suspects into her stories to keep me guessing.
If you love cozy mysteries and are looking for stories just long enough to read on a lazy afternoon, I highly recommend Colleen Mooney’s books.
Note: I listened to this story on Audible. I love having that option!

Wonderful

I enjoy the book and the narration. It’s so refreshing to listen to a book without a lot of cussing and sex scenes.
