Someone’s been barking up the wrong barstool in this uncannily enjoyable new canine mystery series from USA Today Bestselling author Diana Orgain!Every Friday night in the idyllic seaside town of Pacific Cove, California, the Roundup Crew, a group of dog-friendly folks, have a spirited meet-up at their local wine bar. But when the owner, Rachel, leaves town on mysterious business―and her … business―and her pet-unfriendly sister, Maggie, takes charge of the bar―things take a ruff turn. Not only does Maggie find a body sprawled on the floor, it’s accompanied by an incriminating letter with Rachel’s name on it. On impulse, she hides the letter from hunky detective, Officer Brad Brooks.
“Pull up a chair, put your barking dogs on ice and enjoy the first in a hilarious new series.”
Kate Carlisle, New York Times bestselling author, on Yappy Hour.
With Rachel as the prime suspect, Maggie sniffs out the scene on her own while getting to know the Roundup Crew and their four-legged besties. The Doggie Daiquiris and Muttgaritas are flowing, but it’s not long before another body turns up. Thanks to the Roundup Crew, Maggie’s new litter of friends will do anything to save the bar and solve the mystery. . .and maybe find a bit of puppy love in the process.

Entertaining and quirky characters. Twists and turns in the plot keeps you guessing to the end.
Funny book, really good read, cute stuff with the puppies.
Predictable but cute
Great beach read!
Unexpected ending, which is great. I really enjoyed that the main character had more than one potential love interest.
Enjoyable
It was… Not really worth it, I would say. I found myself engaged enough to read the whole thing and I didn’t hate it, but then again I tend to have more patience for bad fiction than most people.
I didn’t like how the main character was just some random chick who found herself being chased by two handsome guys. Not only that, but the author (and main character) were aware of this being out of the ordinary. So why leave it in there? Think! One love interest is enough. Other than that, this book has a rushed twist ending that wasn’t hinted at once, and the main character’s sister shows up way too late for her to do much by the end. This book is full of cozy mystery cliches and honestly the author could do better.
Enjoyed the two male love interests for the main character. Some of the plot was pretty goofy.
This book was excellent. One you do not want, to put down
The characters were great, loved uncle Ernest. Of course a little murder.
Fun easy read
I experienced a mix of responses when I read the book. I thought the plot was forced to run with the setting and characters which probably came to the author first.
It was amusing but predictable, so I can only give it three stars.
Good falling asleep material.
Murder mystery with dogs and their owners. Fun read.
A cute and entertaining fast read.
I really wanted to like this book , but soon found its reliance on stereotypes and cliches overwhelming. A friend used to refer to those objects and individuals who fell into this category as good candidates for a home for the terminally cute. Until I read this book, I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant. Now I know. That said, for those seeking an escape from anything that remotely approaches reality in terms of plot and characters, this book is a good candidate.
I loved the characters. There was a need for more editing.
Just ok
This is an easy to read book with funny and interesting characters. I found it entertaining and light hearted.
I enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down.
This is a fun, easy to pick up and relaxing read. Not complicated and not too many characters.
