Hounded by Murder

🐾 At the local animal shelter, saving lives is the goal—until someone winds up dead.

When veterinarian Amanda Reynolds volunteers at the town’s struggling animal shelter, she expects chaos—barking dogs, opinionated cats, and volunteers who mean well but don’t always follow instructions. What she doesn’t expect is the arrival of a nasty new director whose iron-fisted management style sends morale and ethics into free fall.

As animals disappear, funds don’t add up, and tempers flare hotter than an overcrowded kennel, Amanda can’t ignore the feeling that something’s fishy. Then the director turns up murdered—and suddenly the shelter is crawling with secrets, suspects, and motives. Worse? Amanda had a run-in with the victim, she discovers the body, and the police suddenly have their sights set on her.

With Amanda’s reputation, career, and freedom on the line, she teams up with her quirky friends to sniff out the truth and clear her name. But digging into the director’s shadowy dealings could prove dangerous. Because in a place built to protect the innocent, someone has a very deadly agenda.

Hounded by Murder is a laugh-out-loud cozy mystery packed with lovable animals, sharp humor, small-town secrets, and a veterinarian sleuth who just can’t stay out of trouble. Perfect for fans of animal cozy mysteries, female amateur sleuths, and clean whodunits with heart.
