Peril and Puppy Love

A Carolina Canines Cozy Mystery

By: Madison Boyd

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A grand hotel opening. A French Bulldog doppelgänger. And a mystery that proves you can't judge a suspect by their country club membership.

Dog trainer Bea Crawford just wanted a simple morning at Palm Harbor's newest luxury pet hotel—help a nervous concierge, admire the ridiculously expensive dog beds, maybe snag a bacon hors d'oeuvre. What she got instead? Her French Bulldog Max meeting his more sophisticated twin from actual France, a ballroom full of people with motives for murder, and the hotel's imperious owner nearly killed by a mystery assailant.

When Vivian Hartley is found unconscious with a threatening note beside her, everyone's a suspect: her three feuding children fighting over money, her smooth-talking business partner with secrets to hide, a bitter French chef, and a housekeeper pushed past her breaking point. With her veterinarian husband James begging her to stay out of trouble (adorable, but futile) and Max literally sniffing out clues, Bea must untangle family drama, financial schemes, and enough resentment to fill the hotel's entire wine cellar.

Because in Palm Harbor, the dogs are pampered, the humans are problematic, and sometimes the most dangerous person in the room is the one everyone overlooks.
