About this ebook
Army vet Persephone “Perri” Morgan has found a second career handcrafting leather pet accessories—and a satisfying sideline in training therapy dogs. But there’s no cure for a cold-blooded murderer. . . .
Perri and her BFF Babette Croy team up to bring their therapy dogs to an upscale senior living facility. But The Falls’ pleasant façade hides some unpleasant secrets. Valuables are missing, feuds fester, and one resident even fears for her life. Sprightly senior Magdalen Melmoth swears she’s being targeted because her grandfather was none other than Oscar Wilde, and her legacy includes an unpublished novel by the literary genius.
Convinced it’ll take more than calming canines to sniff out the truth, Perri enlists the help of her beau, hotshot reporter Wing Pruett. When a nurse is poisoned by chocolates sent to Magdalen, and a physician is brutally murdered, the case takes a deeply troubling turn. Perri, Babette, and their furry friends race to bring a killer to heel, but can they outsmart an enemy who’s simply bad to the bone?

amateur-sleuth, journalist, therapy-dog, retirement-community, greed, theft, murder-investigation, cozy-mystery, octogenarians***** I couldn't pause while reading it! Perri is over thirty, a US army vet, orphaned and fostered, a leather worker and therapy dog owner, and prone to amateur sleuthing with her journalist boyfriend and also with her over-the-top BFF. While working with their dogs at a nearby ritzy retirement home, they meet a delightful octogenarian, Magdalen, who bonds immediately with Perri. The next thing they know someone is murdered and while it is not Magdalen, she has disappeared! And so the sleuthing begins! Talk about plot twists, misdirection, and red herrings! There are plenty here. I loved it! I requested and received a free ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
