Murder, She Barked: A Paws & Claws Mystery (Paws & Claws Mystery, #1)

by Krista Davis

THE FIRST PAWS & CLAWS MYSTERY FROM KRISTA DAVIS—A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

The Sugar Maple Inn in Wagtail, Virginia, is the country's premiere vacation hot spot for pet owners who can’t bear to leave their furry friends behind. But this tourist town smells trouble when a killer goes on the prowl...

Holly Miller's life has gone to the dogs. She has no job, her boyfriend's former flame is sniffing around, and a scruffy but loveable Jack Russell Terrier is scattering crumbs all over her borrowed car. Just when she thought things couldn't get worse, a troubling phone call about her grandmother sends her rushing home to the family inn on Wagtail Mountain.

The staff—and a frisky Calico kitten named Twinkletoes—adopts Holly and her new dog on arrival.  But someone in this friendly town is bad to the bone. One of the employees at the inn has been killed in a hit-and-run accident—which is looking anything but accidental. Now Holly and her furry companions will have to nose out the murderer before someone else gets muzzled.

Murder, She Barked Just....ok.  Cute premise, and let's face it, the idea of a pet paradise town is too adorable to resist. It got really interesting for awhile, then devolved into a chapter-skipping-eye-rolling mess.  By the time I got to the end, I just. did. not. care.   It wasn't completely terrible, but, like a trip to the dentist, I just wanted to get it over with.
 
I'll try the second book in the series, but right now it'll be placed at the bottom of my TBR pile.
