From a USA Today bestselling author
Burned-out software engineer Jake Martin and his Golden Retriever, Fred, live in a mountain cabin far enough from Denver to escape the rat-race but not far enough to escape its crime. While remodeling an old house he uncovers a stack of love letters that will turn his world inside out.
When word of the letters gets out, people start dying, including the owner … dying, including the owner of the house Jake was remodeling. With his main source of income gone, he lets his friend and neighbor, Bonnie Jones, talk him into searching for the killer after they are offered a large retainer. The problem is the person who hires them is the major suspect.
With the help of Fred and Bonnie, Jake continues to find more evidence that his new employer is trying to create a smokescreen to divert attention from himself. Will the trio of amateur detectives be able to stop the murders, or will they become the next victims?

I loved that the dog Fred, was part of the team along with his owner Jake & their 70 year old neighbor, Bonnie. Her age & her love for Jack Daniels, didn’t hold her back.
There are many twists and turns, that will keep you guessing until the end!
Love the way Fred helps solve the mystery, great characters and fun to read.
I love his books. I like how the dog is interacted in the story. (I love dogs.) And the story line too. want all his books in this story line.
Loved Jake and Fred. Fun, believable characters!
I’ve read all of his books on this series and have enjoyed them all and am waiting for the next book. The books have an element of mystery yet easy to read and quit entertaining.
An enjoyable series of books. I love the Colorado setting. His neighbor adds character to the book. And of course we love Fred the golden retriever. I will be continuing this series.
Good read. The interaction with Fred the dog was realistic.
Enjoyed the “everyday” feel of the characters. A comfortable, entertaining read …. Especially if you are a dog lover.
Started out a little slow for me,then became very interesting. Did not want to put it down.
It was a fun read. Fred the Golden Retriever stole the show all the way through the mystery. Anything is better with a Golden!
Really liked the book. It has two f m favourite thing’s, dog and mystery. I don’t care who dies in terms book as long as the dog don’t get killed. Also the team solves the mystery.
I really enjoyed this book. Characters were believable and having the dog in the story added a nice touch.
This was a good story. I enjoyed it and it kept me quessing till the end
Loved the whole series. Good stories, characters and makes you want more.
Great.
Author should proofread for grammar. Did not like the elderly lady always putting Jack Daniels in her coffee etc. Seemed a little over the top. Plus, she would then drive! Haven’t read any of the other books in the series but this one did not make me want to either! Sorry!
Thoroughly enjoyed this book! Interesting characters & plot. Loved the dog too!
Really enjoy Richard Houstons books.
Beat book would like to read more of the series.
