Doggone Deadly

By: Deborah Blake

Narrated by: Laura Jennings

Kari Stuart is roped into helping out at a dog show—but soon finds she’s bitten off more than she can chew when her best friend is framed for murder in this new Catskills Pet Rescue Mystery.

When the woman running the big regional dog show calls out sick, dog groomer Suz Holden is asked to take over. But it’s too much for her to handle by herself— considering the president of the kennel club, Olivia Weiner, criticizes her at every turn—so she calls in her best friend, Kari Stuart, for help.
A long, stressful day goes from bad to worse when a local breeder is found dead, and the murder weapon seems to incriminate Suz.

While Kari knows her friend isn’t guilty, the police aren’t so sure, especially after a second murder points to Suz again. But trying to run a dog show and investigate a murder at the same time is like herding cats, and Kari will have to rely on the rest of the Serenity Sanctuary staff to keep things running smoothly while she—and her beloved and clever kitten, Queenie—sniff out the truth.

Pleasant a change of dog pace

delightful little cozy mystery featuring a clever kitten, a handsome veterinarian, and a spunky shelter owner. takes place at a dog show and is actually spot on with the AKC information. what a pleasant change from some of the other dog books. I didn't get irritated at any misinformation, LOL

Entertaining Cozy Mystery

This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The story is very well paced. The mystery is interesting. I didn't love the dog show setting, but it makes sense with the theme. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment.

Pretty good

This is a pretty good cozy mystery with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. The pace is a bit slow but the story is entertaining. I look forward to the next book.

Came for Deborah Blake, stayed for Queenie!

Queenie is the most well-written non human character I’ve read in a long while. Kari may not be a witch but she has a familiar 🐈‍⬛✨
