  Did pawing at too many women get a dog handler shot dead? A twist-filled mystery that "will charm dog fanciers and cozy fans."—Publishers WeeklyThe dog days of summer have just begun, and Melanie Travis is looking forward to savoring them. And where better to enjoy herself than at her Aunt Peg's Fourth of July barbecue? It sounds ideal, until an uninvited guest proves that even the laziest dog day of the year can suddenly turn vicious.Melanie knew someone should have kept Barry Turk on a short leash. The star poodle handler and ladykiller had a habit of chicanery that bred contempt in the dog show circuit, particularly among its female members. But when Barry is shot dead in his own driveway, even Melanie is stunned at how unsporting the competition can get. Soon Melanie is investigating a litter of suspects, which includes Barry's ruthless young assistant, her hot-tempered boyfriend, a Blue Ribbon judge with a grudge, and even Barry's last lover, Alicia. Now, as Melanie digs for clues deep under Connecticut's well-groomed surface, she finds herself sniffing around in the killer's own backyard, and counts herself lucky to have the animal instincts to keep herself alive.

  The Great Escape from the...

  The Inescapable Prison has long stood as a symbol of absolute confinement, a fortress so impenetrable that even the thought of escape seemed futile. Perched on an isolated island, surrounded by treacherous waters and patrolled by an elite cadre of guards, this prison was designed to crush not just the body but also the spirit. Its towering walls, crafted from stone rumored to be unbreakable, and its maze-like interiors presented an overwhelming challenge for anyone bold—or desperate—enough to dream of freedom. Over decades, countless prisoners tried to outwit the prison’s relentless grip, and every attempt ended the same way: failure. 
    
  Yet, one astonishing escape shattered this narrative. It was not achieved by a team of trained spies or hardened criminals with an arsenal of resources. Instead, it was the work of ordinary men driven by extraordinary resolve. They weren’t just fighting for freedom; they were fighting against the very idea of impossibility. What makes their story so remarkable is not just the outcome, but the sheer ingenuity, determination, and courage that brought them to the brink of what seemed unattainable. 
    
  This book tells the true tale of how these men, trapped in the most secure prison of their time, defied insurmountable odds. With nothing more than their wits and an unyielding desire to reclaim their lives, they devised a plan so daring, so intricate, that it remains one of the most celebrated escapes in history. Each step of their journey—from the formation of their plan to the harrowing final moments of their flight—is a testament to human resilience and resourcefulness.

  Welcome to the magical mystery of Crimson Cove. A spellbound town full of puzzles and twisty turns. 
   
   
   
  Feisty enchanted hedgehogs with eye-watering gas, a half-dragon with an attitude, and a headless corpse aren't the best things to start the day with! 
   
   
   
  But that's what we encounter in our first week working for animal control in Crimson Cove. We'd only come here to find a missing person but got more than we bargained for. As an enchanted cat, few things phase me, but even I wince when my wonderful witch, Zandra Crypt, finds a body missing its head. 
   
   
   
  When the angels are stumped over who killed Osorin Greenbow, we poke around. It doesn't take long before we find a worrying connection to the body, a dangerous gang of magical criminals, and what happened to Zandra's mother (she's the missing person.) 
   
   
   
  How will a plucky witch and a strikingly beautiful white cat (that's me) beat the gang, find the killer, and locate Zandra's mother? 
   
   
   
  Care to find out and help me solve a murder, while I share a secret or two with you?
