Dog-nappings are an owner's worst nightmare. When three rare, expensive, and sought-after puppies go missing within a few days of each other, Olivia doesn’t even need to be asked to take the case. Her clients are like family, and she can’t stand to see a family grieve over their missing canine member. But when the investigation leads her to a local jeweler, Olivia reveals to her best friend that she’s ready to make things official with Andrew. In her shock, Jackie lets it slip that Andrew was thinking the same thing (and has a new ring to prove it).

Olivia Rickard has turned over a new leaf. She’s done with outside investigations. Olivia has decided that, to be a better girlfriend, she’s going to turn a blind eye to the mysteries in town. Besides, her sister Janelle is acting fishy enough lately. For Olivia, that mystery is more important to solve than finding out where Andrew’s missing report is. However, Andrew isn’t letting this particular bone go. He’s worried about his coworker, and scared that something might be very, very wrong. Olivia tries to track down Hattie and her missing data so Andrew can present the report to his fullest potential. But when Olivia finds more than one suspect sneaking around Hattie’s house, her gut begins to ping and Olivia’s sheepdog, Goodwin agrees. Sure enough, Hattie Dominick is nowhere to be found, and there’s ice cream melting on her porch. Now time is ticking away faster than the Rocky Road.

Publisher's Summary
Some people would kill for coffee....
Olivia Rickard would kill to keep everything just the way it is. She’s got a gorgeous boyfriend who loves her, a supportive sister to lean on, and a dog walking business that’s briskly barking away. But just as she’s getting comfortable, her sister suddenly wants to buy an entire brownstone with her, and her boyfriend looks like he’s going to pop the question at every opportunity. Changing the status quo has always been disastrous for Olivia, and now everything is changing at once....
What Olivia needs is a distraction, and she’s found one in stumbling upon Yvette Dunn dead in her coffee food truck - drowned in a vat of fresh coffee. Olivia starts out as an unlucky bystander to the crime, but she’s forced to dig in deeper when it looks like her sister could be involved in Yvette’s death.
Olivia is running out of time in regards to the mystery, the mortgage, and the marriage. She’s going to have to solve all three problems - and quick - or face a future most foul.

An Awesome Listen
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, and found it very entertaining. The characters are very interesting and well written. Life in a small town, may seem quiet to most, but it's never boring for the local dog walker. Olivia manages to discover a body, just trying to get her morning coffee. Olivia not wanting to deal with her own life, decides to solve this murder. Chaos and humor is the result in this delightful tale with a sneaky ending. I'll definitely will be listen to book 2.

Who done it?
This was a cute book. Love the characters and Olivia trying to avoid being proposed to and trying to find clues to who murdered Yvette. Olivia seems to have trouble with commitment but loves to be nosy even when the police tell her to leave the case alone. I look forward to more in this series. The narrator, Machelle Williams, did a great job. I was gifted this audio book in exchange for an honest review.

A great cosy mystery
This was such a fun book to listen to.
Olivia Rickard is an accidental sleuth trying to take her mind off an impending proposal she is expecting. She is set on solving the mystery, especially when one of her friend’s is considered a suspect.
I really enjoyed Olivia’s internal thoughts. Her friends and the other supporting characters – with plenty of quirky habits - provide lots of entertainment. There are plenty of quick-witted people in town.
I did not guess who the killer was but that’s never been my strength.
The narration was excellent. The pacing was great, emotions were well conveyed and each character had a distinct voice.
I am looking forward to listening to more books in this series.

Quirky whodunnit not-the-marrying-type romance
What did you love best about Barking up the Wrong Bakery?
The characters were all well drawn and I felt a connection with them and on top of that, the story was engaging, unusual and kept me guessing
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved all the descriptions of the dogs but the main character kept me rooting for her too
What does Machelle Williams bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She has a voice that brings life to the characters while simultaneously making you feel like you're wrapped up with hot cocoa listening to a good storyteller
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, but It kept me listening, finding times to squeeze in a chapter more
Any additional comments?
An enjoyable listen - charming story with more than enough intrigue to keep a whodunnit fan happy

Enjoyed this very much!
I enjoyed this story very much. I found myself chuckling out loud several times, but the mystery was well written, as well. Side note of the romance was really good. I loved how Olivia, although she loved her boyfriend, came to really appreciate his love for her. The fun stories of her pet walking business and her need for listening to audiobook mysteries were a boost for who Olivia is. Machelle Williams did a fantastic job of narrating this story.

Not what I expected
Normally I enjoy this sort of thing.
What looked like a cozy mystery turned out to be somewhat convoluted.
I appreciate the lengths taken to show how happy everyone is and how tough and level headed our protagonist is. I just found the narrator to be a bit wooden and almost too sweet. Like maybe her real voice would be suited for something villainous. She did a fine job, it just seemed she was trying too hard.
I struggled to finish and sped up the play time, doing my best not to skip.
I received this audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review.

Warming cozy mystery
There is something magical about Machelle's voice - it's sooo comforting and perfect for a cozy mystery. I really enjoyed this cozy, it's my first audiobook cozy and it was easy to pick up and listen to through the week. Perhaps it's because it centres around dogs and I love dogs! lol! I thought the plot with Andrew and Olivia was amusing, especially the lengths she went to avoid a 'proposal'. But I really enjoyed the mystery, I didn't guess who dunnit from the beginning.
