Cozy Mystery


As co-owner of Pupcakes Bakery with her sister, Tassie Drake knew most dog owners in town as they would stop by their bakery for doggie treats. She also knew many from her walk to the dog park, with Baxter. Then there was Conrad Meyers. He lived near the park and hated dogs. He didn't want any on, or even near, his property. She tried to avoid him, but felt it was only neighborly to let him know his front door was open.

Unfortunately she would never be able to tell him as he was lying dead just inside the doorway.

Her friend had wanted to introduce Tassie to the town's new detective, but she didn't think Lucy had this scenario in mind. Jack Sterling was attractive, and Tassie wouldn't mind getting to know him better, but when another friend Sara is arrested for murder, Tassie is determined to clear Sara's name and find the real killer.

Dog Bones and Dead Bodies was a cozy mystery certain to please dog lovers. There is a cast of dog characters, as well as charismatic townspeople. None of whom Tassie wants to think might be a killer. But a threat lurks, and Tassie is determined to safely identify the real killer. So she turns to a certain new detective in town. I enjoyed this introduction to Paige Tyler's Pupcakes and Peril series and look forward to the next story.
