One Dog Too Many

First in a series for "dog-lovers and mystery fans alike" featuring a Tennessee kennel owner turned sleuth (Jennie Bentley, USA Today–bestselling author).

Mae December runs a successful dog kennel in Rosedale, Tennessee, a small town where everybody knows everybody's business—or least each other's dogs. When Ruby Mead-Allison fails to pick up her yapping Pomeranian, Mae's is concerned. But her concern turns to dread after she finds her long-time client garroted. While solving murders might be handsome Sheriff Ben Bradley's line, Mae can't help but to cross it.

Together they find no shortage of suspects. Ruby was standing in the way of a land-development project that threatened to infringe on her personal space. Was she done in by an angry neighbor? Her estranged husband? Her disinherited brother? Ben may not appreciate Mae s amateur detecting, but he doesn't mind getting close to his new unofficial partner. And when Mae finds herself under threat, she and Ben will have to work closer yet to collar a killer before he misbehaves again.
