Welcome to Dog Mountain, Oregon a.k.a. Dog Town, USA.
Population: 30,342 people, 25,212 dogs and counting.
Mutts of all sizes, shapes, and creeds welcome. Wipe your paws at the front door.
After spending six years covering crime for a big newspaper in Portland, ace reporter Winifred Wolf returns to her hometown of Dog Mountain and takes a job covering canine-related stories for the local paper. … stories for the local paper. But soon the dog parades, humane society fundraisers and Dog-a-thons take a toll, and it’s not long before the normally dogged reporter finds herself…well, dog tired of her boring new beat.
That is, until a dead body shows up in a local dog park one day in June, and Winifred’s sister, the owner of prominent pastry shop The Barkery, is accused of committing the ghastly deed.
Winfred suddenly finds herself in a race against the clock to uncover the real murderer. Her only hope in saving her sister is convincing a police lieutenant who she’s been at odds with to break the rules and delve deeper into the mystery.
Can Winifred find the real criminal in time for the town’s annual Fourth of July Pooch Parade? Or will the summer go to the dogs?
Romance smolders, mystery flourishes, and dogs of every sort abound in the first installment of this brand new cozy mystery series from Amazon bestselling author Meg Muldoon.

A easy-reading mystery involving animals as important pets.
It has wonderful characters. A real attention getter from beginning to the end. A good whodunit.
In this turbulent time it was enjoyable to read a murder mystery that was fun and not viscious. Plus, a dog!
I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story line and a happy ending. I look forward to reading more stories like this one.
I don’t like books that make women bumbling idiots. Get with the times women aren’t stupid.
Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Simple town politics and entertaining caper. The characters are terrific and easy to envision. It becomes natural to think you’re living within Dog Town USA watching this story pan out. I can’t wait to read the next one.
