Publisher's summary
Sometimes, trying to be part of the human world can be a real killer....
Cougar-shifter Lily Mason is ready to put down roots in the human town of Moonrise, Missouri. She only has two problems: her attraction and proximity to Parker Knowles, her boss at the Pit Bull Rescue Shelter, and her need to shift into animal form more than once a month.
When she gets the opportunity to buy a "fixer-upper" outside of Moonrise with plenty of room to get wild without running into easily freaked-out humans, Lily jumps at the chance. Smooshie, Lily's lovable pit bull and partner in chaos, is eager to participate with the home improvements. Unfortunately, Smooshie's help includes digging out a mummified body from the living room wall.
Lily is still recovering from the last murder investigation she got involved in - and she's not looking forward to being in the middle of another one. The case gets even stickier when Lily's landlord is murdered, rumors of a heist gone wrong run rampant, and Parker's old high school buddies have returned to Moonrise, thus increasing the suspect pool. Lily's attempts to become a bona fide citizen of Moonrise might well be thwarted by this newest complication - especially when the murderer sets sights on her.

Quinn Victoria Caine is back in her quirky town of Vienna, Virginia, starting her new life as a bookbinder in her family-owned bookshop. With her trusty German Shephard RBG - Ruff Barker Ginsburg - by her side, what can go wrong? Okay, sure, bumping into her ex Scott or her former high-school nemesis Tricia is a drag. It certainly doesn't help that they’ve acquired the new hobby of shoving their recent engagement in her face every chance they get. But that doesn't mean Quinn wanted to find Tricia dead in the road. So why does half the town think she may have done it?

Adams County, Alabama, is a friendly place where everyone knows each other—but not well enough, it seems. Someone among them is a serial killer who first romances, then stalks, kidnaps, and kills his victims. It's the first big case for sheriff Bernie Granger, and a chance to prove herself to her new partner, Memphis police detective Jim Norton. But this killer is uncannily smart. It's as if he knows what Bernie is thinking. And his next move is more than shocking—it's chillingly personal.

Holes in the story
This series is developing very nicely. Lily Mason gets a loan from her Witch friend, Hazel Kinsey, & buys some property with a fixer upper house on the outskirts of Moonrise, MO. She has already found dead bodies in each of the first two episodes of the series & this story is no exception. Of course neither of the other bodies were found stuffed between the walls of her previous place of abode. Lily is pulling the wallboard from her newly purchased home when her pittie, Smooshie digs the mummified body from the wall. This starts a series of events that bring Lily & Parker to the brink of being murdered. A lot of secrets come to light by story’s end. This tale is fast moving & I couldn’t stop listening until the last words were spoken. Yes, I’ve already purchased the next book in this series. If you’re not bothered by light paranormal, this is a good cozy mysteries choice.

I'm hooked!
I listened to the first book in this series nearly 3 years ago so I didn't remember a lot about it when I started listening to this one. Things that happened previously were referred to in this book but I still think you could listen to this as a standalone. Just like I said in my review of book one, the murder mystery is solved but there are other things that will carry over to the next story and I hope I have time to listen to it soon.
I love Lily's dog Smooshie and I love that she's a pit bull. This breed of dog gets punished for the misdeeds of humans that turn them into mean animals. Pits that are raised in loving families can be wonderful pets.
There were many red-herrings in this story and I didn't guess who the bad guy was until all was revealed near the end of the story. I'm looking forward to finding out how Lily's attraction to Parker continues in the next book. Dara Rosenberg did another fine job performing this story.
