A novelette to launch this new Cozy Animal Mystery series
Inheriting Great-Aunt Tilly’s 1820 mansion in a Maine-coast town seemed like the perfect escape from New York City’s crime, grime—and my broken heart—till the simple life took a dangerous twist...
Protagonist Lisa Heywood writes:
I’ve burned my bridges: sold my NYC apartment to move up here to Blueberry Bay, and open an inn in this fantastic, run-down folly of a house. But making friends in a tight-knit community would have been tough enough. Now, I don’t have a clue who I can trust—except my clever Havanese dog, Ziggy.
Our first night in the house, a stranger in the attic died right before my eyes! Suicide—or murder? My brusque, annoying neighbor, an ex-detective who’s come out of retirement to investigate, suspects I killed her. My housekeeper knows things she’s not telling me. The local contractor I’ve hired, a cute single dad, seems great for the job, but has secrets too.
The repair list is huge, and the “Barton’s Landing B&B” has to open for business—soon. Meanwhile, I’ve got to solve this murder matter before I’m locked up as Suspect #1—and before whoever's making threats tries to kill me!
