Synopsis: Someone&’s dishing the dirt on the dog-show world, until she&’s muzzled for good: &“[A] winning cozy…the ending is a surprise.&”—Publishers Weekly Summer means two things to Melanie Travis: a break from her teaching duties at Connecticut&’s elite Howard Academy and a chance to plan the perfect wedding to her fiancé, Sam. She certainly doesn&’t need the unwelcome arrival of a dinner invitation &“peace offering&” from Sam&’s ex-wife, Sheila Vaughn. To make matters worse, Sheila announces her temporary stay in town is now permanent: she&’s accepted a job as co-publisher of Woof!, a new gossip rag for the dog show world. But before the first issue is out, a hotter story breaks when Sheila is strangled with a leather dog leash. As far as Melanie&’s concerned, the woman should have been on a leash long ago. And it seems she isn&’t alone in her dislike of Sheila. Some of Woof!&’s salacious stories threatened to expose the dirty paws of quite a few important exhibitors, and someone on Sheila&’s staff may have found her high-handed attitude worth silencing. It will take the instincts of a bloodhound to sniff out a killer who&’s bent on putting an end to Melanie&’s amateur sleuthing… &“For pet fans who thrive on dog-show lore, Berenson&’s brand is always best in show.&”—Kirkus Reviews
