Publisher's Summary

Dog-loving divorcee and amateur sleuth Lilly Echosby is not the only one who wants her new foster poodle. Some are willing to kill to have him.... 

Lilly's best pal Scarlett "Dixie" Jefferson has done it again! She's convinced eccentric poodle-loving billionaire Archibald Lowry to sponsor a grand fundraiser for the Eastern Tennessee Poodle Rescue. Tragically, it's too late to rescue Lowry, who is murdered at the event. His pet poodle is now orphaned, so Dixie begs Lilly to foster the adorable pup. Of course, she already has a poodle - her beloved Aggie, named after Agatha Christie. Fortunately, Aggie seems to like the new addition to the family, whom Lilly renames Rex, after her second favorite mystery author, Rex Stout.

But she's barely welcomed Rex into her home when there's an attempted poodle-nabbing, foiled with Aggie's help. As desperate characters try to get their hands on the canine cutie, Lilly turns to Dixie's dog training class to help her sort through a litter of suspects. Ultimately, she may have to unleash Rex as bait to collar the killer....

So Far So Great!

I am really enjoying this series. I like the friendship between Lilly and Dixie and their inside jokes like Dixie saying quotes when she gets nervous. I like how they can encourage each other by being able to break into laughter with each other even when they are having a down moment. You can sense a deep caring and acceptance of each other from their interactions with each other. This adds some humor to the story, which I like in a murder mystery story. I also like the development of the other characters in the story. The storyline was very interesting and easy to listen to. This book cited two different narrators but it sounded like Madison Vaughn, whom I enjoy hearing. I plan on getting the next book.

Paw and Order

Another great addition to this series! If you’re an animal lover like me & love cozy mysteries, I think you will like this series. Aggie the Poodle gets a new fur brother & Lily helps to solve another series of related crimes including two murders. Of course Lily’s TBI boyfriend wants her to let law enforcement do their job but as usual she gets very involved. Good storyline with lots of action that makes the book hard to put down until the end.

Paw and Order

Paw and Order is an enjoyable cozy mystery with an interesting plot. I look forward to the next book.
