To Fetch a Thief, the first Mutt Mysteries collection, features four novellas that have gone to the dogs. In this howlingly good read, canine companions help their owners solve crimes and right wrongs. These sleuths may be furry and low to the ground, but their keen senses are on high alert when it comes to sniffing out clues and digging up the truth. Make no bones about it, these pup heroes will steal your heart as they conquer ruff villains.

 A cozy mix of various styles of murder and mystery involving delightful dogs and their dedicated owners. The first story begins rather simplistically though unexpectedly. A wealthy man wants to hire a dog walker, not to walk his dog, but to look around the homes of her clients. She feels it is unethical, until he makes his case and solves her financial troubles. This one has a major twist ending.
The second story has a Rear Window vibe. Amy and Kevin buy a house that has been empty quite a while. As she is unpacking Amy discovers items left behind. Her creative imagination builds a sinister story to explain them and the disappearance of the previous residents. Is she wrong about the things her little dog digs up in the yard? Where will your imagination take you?The third story has a rougher take than the previous tales. It takes place in a small community. Meg is so busy, she doesn`t know all of her neighbors, but has a few very good friends living near by. Her best friend is her dog, the same can be said for many local residents. The dogs are so beloved that there is a garden representing those that have passed away. A mystery involving memorial rocks missing from that garden escalates when a man is murdered using one of those same rocks. A mixture of sweet and vicious. Meg finds herself in the middle of it all and fighting for her own life.
The final contribution offers some police procedural and shows us what it is like to be a person of interest. All our hero wants is to heal a broken heart and spend time with his dog.
Entertaining characters populate this tale.

This brief volume offers something for the dog lover in each of us.

  1. Ahhh. Heather Weidner's novella Diggin' Up Dirt has a Rear Window vibe! Great description. The four novellas in To Fetch a Thief engage a reader in different ways with varied styles. Do you see any of your dogs in any of these stories?
