All That Glitters

Raine Stockton Dog Mysteries

Raine Stockton looks back on how she first met Cisco, her incorrigible golden retriever pup, in this Raine Stockton Dog Mystery Christmas short story.

Times are hard in the small Smoky Mountain town of Hansonville, North Carolina, and for former forest service employee Raine Stockton this Christmas will be harder than most as she prepares to spend her first holiday without her family, without a job... and without a dog. When a mysterious Secret Santa starts making dreams come true all over the county everyone's spirits are on the rise, but Raine can't help but wonder whether there is more to this enigmatic philanthropist than meets the eye. Meanwhile, the police are baffled by a string of crimes that are unlike anything the small town has ever seen before. It will take a mischievous golden retriever pup to find the clues that solve both mysteries... and to heal Raine's broken heart.

All that Glitters

Loved this short tale. Gives a look at the history of how Raine received Cisco.

Cute

Light, cute Christmas story, not a big involved mystery. Just meant to entertain and it does!

short and sweet

I almost didn't bother with this short story, but I'm so glad I did, if you are someone young or old, or somewhere in between, and still love the magic of Christmas, you'll love this story.

Great short story and companion book

After listening to a few “heavy” works, this was a nice change of pace. Enjoy this series very much.
