"Anything can happen
during a veterinary house call, including murder. Dr. Kate Turner thinks
she’s seen it all until she finds two elderly clients shot dead and
their show dogs running loose in the house. Chief of Police Bobby Garcia
dismisses it as a sad murder-suicide, but Kate isn’t so sure. Something
about the scene isn’t right. There are twenty-seven Cavalier King
Charles spaniels found in the home but one dog may be missing. Or is he?
Only Kate recognizes a prized champion stud dog has been replaced by a
look alike. As she learns more about the murdered couple a twisted
scheme of fraud and deceit begins to develop. Each one of her house call
clients provides a clue to the mystery. Is the tattooed biker who loves
to bake a hit man? Did a ten million dollar lawsuit drive the filmmaker
to shoot for real? Or perhaps the estranged daughter got tired of
waiting for her inheritance? As the number of suspects goes up so does
the cups of coffee and pieces of pie Kate wolfs down, leaving her nerves
jangling and her pants too tight. Before she knows it someone tries to
frame her for the murder. Who can she trust? The bookkeeper who stuffs
her pet parrot, Capt Hook, in her cleavage or the trusted office manager
who knows where all the bodies are buried? In this “pet noir”
author and veterinarian Eileen Brady takes the reader behind the scenes
to mix her medicine with murder."
What a fantastic read. I was hooked from the beginning. The book was so
engaging that I didn't want to put it down. I look forward to Dr. Kate's
next adventure.
