The Case of a Beagle and a Body

By Donna Doyle

A pet hotel manager. A trauma-scarred beagle. A body discovered in a small-town garden.

Courtney Cain, Pet Hotel and Rescue Manager, Amateur Sleuth. Courtney Cain, manager of Curly Bay's bustling pet hotel and rescue, is finally starting to build a true sense of home and community in the charming seaside town. She wants to put down roots and create a sanctuary for herself and the animals who need her. But when she discovers a client's body, she's pulled into a murder investigation that threatens her fragile new beginning. The close-knit community's secrets, combined with her own guarded nature, make solving the case difficult.

If Courtney fails to distinguish fact from the web of rumors and hidden agendas, an innocent person could be wrongly accused. The reputation of Curly Bay, and the quiet peace she's worked so hard to find, could be shattered forever.

The small town holds a killer. She holds the key to bringing them to justice.
