    A bright new year, a sparkling marriage, and bundles of rambunctious puppies . . . 
     
     
     
    Still aglow from their winter holiday wedding, Winifred and Leo return from their honeymoon to the warmth of their cozy Colorado mountain town of Estes Park. Watson, in all his chubby corgi grumpiness, happily settles in to napping with his stuffed animals by the fire and steering clear of customers in the Cozy Corgi Bookshop & Bakery—except when snagging crumbs and treats. 
     
     
     
    The honeymoon bliss comes to a screeching halt on a stormy night as a fatal car crash takes the life of a newcomer in town . . . and leaves Fred to comfort an adorable puppy. But while Fred and Leo fall for the new bundle of hyperactive fluff, Watson expresses mixed emotions about his new role as big brother. 
     
     
     
    Mysteries abound in a case lacking a murder. But Fred is certain she's not barking up the wrong tree. As she and Watson sniff out clues and unravel deception and sinister plots, every dog will have his day . . . and find his forever home.
