Description

"This book has everything that makes it a good cozy. Light romance, devoted dog person, curious protagonist, and a mystery."

When Maggie May Carver moved to Baker Valley, Colorado she wanted two things: to open a dog barkery with her best friend, and to take care of her aging grandpa.

But when her grandpa is accused of murder--a crime he may well have committed--Maggie finds herself in the role of amateur detective.

With her faithful Newfie, Miss Fancypants, at her side, Maggie is determined to find the real killer and clear her grandpa's name.

Assuming he isn't the real killer, that is.

    I thought the main character was rude and juvenile. It was hard to read to the end. More suited to a teenage reader. Would not recommend.
  • BEST BOOK EVER

    This is the best I’ve ever read! I mean it keeps you entertained and interested. II recommend this for ages like… 8 and up because some of the words are complicated for young minds to understand.

    Like most cozy mysteries, the main character has no idea of how to handle an investigation or what to make of any clues uncovered. Unusual for this story is there appeared to be very few suspects. The clues found all pointed to her grandfather, so that just irritated Maggie more. She started pointing fingers at anyone who crossed her path, and put herself in harms way. As always, at the eleventh hour, after another false accusation, the real killer revealed herself. There was a little humor spread here and there, but not enough to add to the storyline. All in all, an average cozy mystery, predictable and slow reading.
