Murder Unleashed: A Bloodhound & Beachcombers Mystery
Murder Unleashed
A Bloodhound & Beachcombers Mystery - Book One
By Marie M. Christina
A seaside town full of secrets. A charity gala gone wrong. And one bloodhound whose nose never lies.
Welcome to Cedar Run, a charming coastal village where boardwalk breezes mix with fresh-baked scones, gossip spreads faster than seagulls dive for fries, and every mystery begins with the scratch of a paw.
When the annual Animal Rescue Charity Gala takes a deadly turn, local pet-retreat owner Amanda Watson finds herself tangled in a case that threatens the very heart of her business--and her community. But Amanda is never alone. At her side is Sherlock, a bowtie-wearing bloodhound with a nose for trouble, a heart of gold, and a hilariously honest running commentary on the humans who can't smell what's right in front of them.
Told entirely from Sherlock's keen (and often comedic) point of view, Murder Unleashed blends laugh-out-loud canine logic, small-town charm, heartfelt friendships, and a twisty mystery filled with motives, mischief, and the occasional stolen snack.
As Amanda and Sherlock follow the scent through jealous rivals, shelter politics, mysterious deliveries, and one very complicated box of mismatched mugs, it becomes clear that Cedar Run's perfect postcard image hides more than one guilty conscience. And Sherlock? He's determined to sniff out every last lie.
Fans of Spencer Quinn's Chet & Bernie series, wry animal narrators, and uplifting cozy mysteries set by the sea will fall instantly in love with Sherlock and Amanda.
