From a USA Today Best Selling AuthorSome secrets should stay buried. That’s nearly impossible when a Golden Retriever named Fred, with a knack for digging up the truth, shows up with his owner to investigate an accidental drowning. When Jake realizes the drowning is no accident, his new girlfriend starts avoiding him. She’s a sheriff deputy and says she doesn’t want or need his help, but could … help, but could she have another motive for keeping him quiet?

love the dog
I like that there is a romantic interest but they’re not manic about it. I prefer leaving it to my imagination. The main character is interesting because he is an underachiever in some ways but very intelligent and capable.
I love all Richard Houston’s books. Jake and Fred just make my day. I am always on the lookout for the next available story.
Enjoyed this book. You don’t have to read the earlier books in this series, but it does add a bit more to have more background on the characters. It started a bit slow, but once I got into it enjoyed the story. Will definitely ready more by this author.
Slow and way too much unimportant details. The “detective” isn’t particularly clever and I don’t know why someone would hire him. At least he’s not offensive
I didn’t like it was awful didn’t even finish it
As the plot bounces from accident to murder and one suspect to another, you will find yourself surprised by the outcome.
I liked this book. It was easy reading and just a fun book to read. I love books with animals involved, disorderly that is actually why I chose to read it. I wasn’t disappointed.
I was not sure when I started this book but the story has some funny turns and it really is. a mystery. I did not predict the ending and was entertained on how it turned out. This is an author I will read again.
Fun with unexpected turns. If you love dogs, you’ll enjoy this author.
I have read other books involving these same characters and I really enjoy them.
This is the second book i’ve read by this author. They are easy read. and their is a dog.
Have liked all the books I have read.
I have enjoyed the books in this series they are witty, challenging with fun characters. I would recommend them to anyone they are well worth the read.
Sweet ending
Enjoyed it
I love Jake and Fred. And what would they be without their friend Bonnie. They always solve the crime in unconventional ways
Wonderful everything!
I always a good read
This book, & his others, are entertaining, feel good books. There is enough mystery & quirky characters to keep me interested but none of the dark psychological twisted mind stuff. I need about 9 lighter or straight procedural mysteries to every one dark one. Enough of the dark on the news who needs it in my free time.
