Out of control preschoolers and their demanding parents has Nala turning private investigator over summer break. The idea came from her ability to solve television mysteries before the sleuth did. Her agency motto is discreet inquiries, which means nothing to her wanna be action star father or her competitive mother who are determined to help. A hunky veteran turned cop, a helpful neighbor, and a … and a rescue dog that talks only makes things interesting. Nala might even start to enjoy the job if whoever is trying to kill her would just give it a break.

This new series by M K Scott a talking dog, suspense, humor, some twists and a spot on description of the Indianapolis area. I really enjoyed this first mystery. The characters are well drawn; the plot is interesting and I could not put it down.
A different kind of a discreet P.I.
I often wish that my dog could talk. After reading this little gem of a story, I am not so sure that is the case any longer. The times Max talks when he should not speak are hilarious. But I am pretty sure that would not be my opinion if it happened to me. However, it certainly adds to an incredibly fun story.
This is a very entertaining, clean, and easy read. A few romantic sparks mixed in with two discreet investigations and a bit of personal drama makes for a very enjoyable cozy mystery story.
What a great story. I love Max. A talking dog, what a great idea. Can’t wait to see the adventures ahead.
Nala Bonne’s friend, Karli, gave her a new pet. Max is a German Shepard mix but not your average dog. You see, Max Talks, often at the most inopertune times!!
Nala is also starting her own Private Investigation Service. Her first client is her mother’s friend, Beverly Van Camp. Beverly thinks her husband, Marvin, may be cheating on her. She hires Nala to get the proof, including pictures.
Shortly after Nala starts trailing Marvin, she gets a second customer – Constance Bingham of Bingham Industries. Constance wants Nala to investigate Gordon Lansing, the CEO of Bingham Industries. Constance thinks he is stealing money from the company and wants Nala to find out for certain one way or the other. For some reason, Gordon seems to shy away from the camera, which seems unusual for a man in his position.
Is Marvin cheating on his wife? Is Gordon actually embezzling funds? Why is Gordon so camera shy? Can Nala handle both cases at once? Will Max be able to help with the investigations? Is Nala in over her head right from the start?
M.K. Scott does a great job of adding humor and sarcasm when Max speaks. As expected with the first book in a series, this one has some slow parts while building the background and establishing the characters. This in no way detracts from the story and I am looking forward to more books with Max and Nala.
I don’t think I’d want my dogs to start talking but it was sure fun to read about one who does. Good characters, story, and mystery.
I love the “talking dog” and the school teacher turned private investigator. This is a quirky and unusual series that is sure to keep readers interested. Get a copy today.
I loved it! I love all the characters, they meld together so well. I LOVE Max. What a smartypants. I love how he relates to Nala. How he talks and Nala’s mother thinks there’s a man in the room. I love this book and actually break out laughing at times. I love the mystery. What an all-around good and fun book to read. I definitely recommend it.
Received a free copy for a review. Loved, loved this story. It had a mystery and some chuckles, along with a talking dog. What more could you want?
Such a fun and fantastic series! Really enjoyed it!

Great Premise – Cute and Cozy Mystery – Fun And Funny!
This story has a great premise that is worked out well. The dog-human interactions are hilarious! The mystery is also well done. The characters are complete and the conversations are real. I think this series will go far. This book ended with a lead-in to the next episode, but not in a true cliff-hanger fashion. I will be reading more of this series because they are just too cute to pass up.
