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.

slow moving plot; doesn’t keep my interest
Enjoyable read, really a surprise ending!
A little slow going
It’s so poorly written. I couldn’t get past the opening pages. Totally contrived and implausible.
This was a bit scatter-brained to me. I read it. But when I had to put it down, I felt no urgency to return.
Great read. A cozy mystery that was both original – and “mysterious.” I really could not guess the murderer until the end.
Quick light read
The punny names in the dog-centered parties were a hoot. There was also a good sense of place in the descriptions.
A toast to Diana Orgain who has written a charmingly fun mystery with an out-of-her-comfort-zone amateur sleuth who rises to the occasion. A delightful whodunit with plenty of twists and turns, quirky characters, and quirkier cocktails.
Fun, entertaining, great read.
Yappy Hour charmed me from the first page and had me giggling by the second. Call your dog, pour yourself a glass of wine, and cozy up for Orgain’s delightfully humorous mystery. Yippee!
With its entertaining mystery, touches of romance, and quirky human and canine characters, Yappy Hour is the perfect cocktail to quench your thirst for a good story. More fun than a basket of puppies!
