Pit Perfect Murder

A Barkside of the Moon Cozy Mystery Series, Book 1

De: Renee George

Narrado por: Dara Rosenberg

When cougar-shifter Lily Mason moves to Moonrise, Missouri, she wishes for only three things from the town and its human population...to find a job, to find a place to live, and to live as a human, not a therianthrope.

Lily gets more than she bargains for when a rescue pit bull named Smooshie rescues her from an oncoming car, and it's love at first sight. Thanks to Smooshie, Lily's first two wishes are granted by Parker Knowles, the owner of the Pit Bull Rescue center, who offers her a job at the shelter and the room over his garage for rent.

Lily's new life as an integrator is threatened when Smooshie finds Katherine Kapersky, the local church choir leader and head of the town council, dead in the field behind the rescue center. Unfortunately, there are more suspects than mourners for the elderly town leader. Can Lily keep her less-than-human status under wraps? Or will the killer, who has pulled off a nearly pit-perfect murder, expose her to keep Lily and her dog from digging up the truth?

Enjoyed but too short to pay for credits

I would like to listen to more of the series and would if bundled together, but the books are too shore for one credit each.

Nice debut

Very nice debut. Lily Mason in a new town, solving new mysteries. Fast paced story, with a touch of romance.

Pit Perfect Murder

After a bit of a slow start, this story began to get it’s footing & seemed to draw me in. Being an animal lover, when Lily was adopted by the lovable, rambunctious Pittie, I was hooked. It did have a familiar beginning with a young woman starting over in a new town & meeting an uncle she only recently learned she had, but she really needed a change in her life. She knew she was a paranormal & didn’t realize how hard & dangerous it might be living among normal people. Shortly after arriving in town, she discovers a dead body & before long she’s wondering if moving was the right decision for her. This was a good start to a new series & I will be ordering Book 2.

Awesome reading

Can’t wait to read more from this author. If all her books are this good I have a new favorite author!

💯 recommend

What a great start to the series. The narrator is amazing as well. The story has all the feels and keeps you guessing. If I had to give a complaint it would be the fact that she’s a cougar shape shifter yet in human form a 30 something year old man can out run her. I just can’t wrap my head around it 🤯

Awesome Story

Love that the book has a pit in it and love the story line. There is suspense and some romance.

Enjoyable

Nice little cozy. I enjoyed the characters and the plot. Well paced and relatively fun. I’ll probably continue with the series as long as I can find it on sale.

Pit Perfect Murder Bk 1

This book was a slow starter for me - Our main character Lily meets her pitty and they fall in love. While there are dogs in and out of many of the scenes, the dogs don't play a main character nor is there a strong focus on dogs, rather they're secondary additions to the storylines.
Lily is a cougar shifter seeking family when the town bully is murdered and there are too many suspects to choose from to identify the murderer.

Enjoyable
