Pre-Owned A Catskills Pet Rescue Mystery Doggone Deadly, (Paperback)

Kari Stuart has taken a booth at a regional dog show to promote her newly renovated pet rescue shelter. Her best friend, Suz Holden is grooming dogs for the event and helping to run it. The first night, Kari is helping Suz make sure everything is shut down when they find the dead body of a local dog breeder. The murder weapon appears to be a pair of Suz's distinctive grooming scissors, so she leaps to the top of the suspect list. Naturally, Kari adds playing detective to her weekend plans. Can she figure out what is going on? I enjoyed the first book in this series, and I'm thrilled to say that the second is just as much fun. The set up before Kari and Suz find the body is good, and things only pick up from there. The background of the rules around dog shows is presented in an entertaining way, so it never feels like a data dump. It's wonderful to see the returning characters again, and the suspects are just as strong. Plus, there's plenty of cuteness from the four-legged animals. You are in for a treat when you pick up this book.
