Die Another Dane

A Melanie Travis Canine Mystery, Book 31

By: Laurien Berenson

Narrated by: Angie Hickman

It's June in Connecticut and Melanie has her hands full with her family and Poodles, but when a breeder and exhibitor of Great Danes dies under suspicious circumstances, she also has a big mystery to solve.

After seeing a Great Dane at a dog show, Melanie's son Kevin has become obsessed with the breed. Aunt Peg introduces Melanie and her son to Audrey Kane, a charming older woman who breeds and shows the big dogs.

Aware of Melanie's talent for sleuthing, Audrey asks for her help in finding a missing brooch. She suspects her stepsister Lara. Sam and Melanie are showing their Standard Poodle puppy, Plum, at a dog show where Lara will also be exhibiting her Great Dane. Melanie makes contact with Lara but gets no answers.

When Audrey is found dead in her home, Aunt Peg enlists the help of the local Great Dane Club to foster Audrey's ten dogs, one of whom Melanie takes on. To her surprise, Lara comes to her and asks her to solve her stepsister's murder. From the president of the Great Dane Club to Audrey's dependable dog-sitter—and not ruling out Lara herself—Melanie soon has more suspects than Audrey had Great Danes. With Aunt Peg's assistance, she doggedly pursues the killer....

Love of a great dog 🐶

Love these books. Watching the boys grow up. The mess Aunt Peg saids everyone is in. And to read about an everyday busy mom make it feeling like your busy days aren't always bad days. Thank you Laurien Berenson I treasured every book and hold them all in my heart.

Another great Melanie Travis book!

Absolutely loved it! Can’t wait for the next book! Highly recommend this book!! If you love dogs and mysteries, this series is for you!!

Another good one!!

Another good story about Melanie and her adventures. I listened on Audible. The narration was good -except I really disliked the quavering voice used for Aunt Peg. She is a very strong character and the voice didn’t suit her in my opinion.
