Called in to train the rambunctious Aussie huskapoo belonging to a dysfunctional New Age couple, dog trainer Holly Winter stumbles into the middle of the family's dirty little secrets, when the wife falls victim to an accidental overdose of mixed medications and the victim's daughter persuades Holly that the death had been murder. 20,000 first printing.
Poor Dolfo. It wasn't the golden Aussie huskapoo's fault that he wasn't housebroken. Blame it on his owners, Ted and Eumie, a New Age couple who couldn't bring themselves to restrain a dog's free spirit with collars, leashes, or obedience training. Leave that to Holly Winter, who's been enlisted to do it for them. Now, she's just one of a pack of psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacologists, and alternative healers who medicate the dysfunctional pair, soothe their troubled children, and placate their bitter ex-spouses.
Unfortunately, Eumie's "trauma history" gets the best of her when she succumbs to an accidental overdose of mixed meds. Her daughter, Caprice, a human stray who knows the dirty little secrets of both sides of the family, is convinced it was murder. So is Holly. But who hated - or feared - Eumie enough to have her put down? It's up to Holly to find a killer, sort out the motives and mysteries of the shady brood, and get back to giving Dolfo the attention he deserves.
Dog lovers and mystery fans await this new novel from the award-winning author of Bride and Groom.
