Summary

Welcome to an elite Connecticut kennel club where shocking secrets gnaw at the best of the breed and competition has a sharp - and deadly - bite. As if raising her son Davey, training her rambunctious Poodle Faith for the show ring, and grooming fellow handler Sam Driver for romance aren't enough, Melanie Travis's entre into the exclusive Belle Haven Kennel Club has been met with a grisly murder. Unfortunately, the only witnesses to the crime were the victim's startled pair of Beagles. And they aren't talking - Melanie hadn't intended to do any serious snooping, what with coping with the unexpected arrival of an ex-husband out to get joint custody of the son he's never known. In need of some serious distraction, she's off to sniff out dangerous secrets - only to discover that everyone at Belle Haven has something damning to hide.As the shocking truth slowly comes to light - and her own domestic drama moves center stage - Melanie finds herself eager to put the bite on a dogged killer who's desperate enough to strike again.

Love this book series so far!!!

Having listened to the preview of this audiobook at the end of the First book of the series, I had high hopes, and I wasn't disappointed!

The murder mystery side of this tale is skillful, with the numerous suspects all having their merits. This time I did suspect the culprit but, I still wasn't 100 % sure, just like it main Character Melanie!

As an animal fan, I love the information about Poodles, and as curious soul, the information about dog shows - and all that goes into them - fascinates me, even if I can't hold it all in my head!

Laurien Berenson is a very skillful and talented writer in my opinion. She has developed amazing characters and relationships between them, chosen settings that have lots of interest, and she's added lots of interesting facts, whilst managing to weave addictive murder mystery stories into her books. There is gentle humour that mothers /parents in general will especially relate to I think, dog owners too I suspect!

I adore Jessica Almasy's narration! she juggles numerous voices that are distinct and recognisable, often in fast paced exchanges between characters, and requiring her to switch voices in an instant. I find her astounding! She's a true professional, bringing characters to life faultlessly.

I can't wait to start the 3rd book! 🤩🥰🙏🏽
