When Samantha relaxes into her new role as a dog mom, finds a circle of friends in her new hometown, and sees her new dog bakery Canine Confections barking up business, she’s thrilled that things are going so well … until she hears a bloodcurdling scream from the pastry shop two doors down and runs over to find a dead body on the floor.
Suddenly Samantha finds herself in a race against time to find not only the thief who is stealing from the upscale shops, but a murderer, too. Samantha’s Lab-Mix Sweet Pea wags her tail through all of the clues, suspects and shenanigans. Both Samantha and Sweet Pea are aided in their amateur investigation by the other shopkeepers on the elegant Worth Avenue, and Samantha finds the suspect list growing at every turn.
To make matters worse, Samantha’s old boyfriend arrives in town, and mysterious people start showing up at the Sophisticated Pet and New Age stores nearby. Samantha soon finds that things are not what they seem, and she must figure out what’s going on—or become the next dead body on a bakery floor.
Includes an original recipe from the world-famous Three Dog Bakery!
Samantha Armstrong has opened her dog treat bakery, Canine Confections, and made new friends along Worth Avenue, in the ritzier area of Palm Beach.
She is still adjusting to having found a murdered person in her own shop a month ago. Now the area seems plagued by break-ins and minor thefts.
Jenny, the manager of the human baked goods shops, suffers from a head injury resulting from a surfing accident. Angelina, from the New Age shop also seems to have additional troubles she is not yet willing to share.
All that is put aside when one of the new friends is murdered, seemingly impossible when everyone is nearby.
Samantha not only wants to find out who is committing the crimes, especially the murder, as it is affecting business and her Aunt Mary's finances depend upon the success of Canine Confections.
An interesting collection of personalities make up the Worth Avenue merchants.
How are these crimes happening right under their noses?
Why did a former boyfriend show up at the same time? What does he really want?
Questions to ponder as you enjoy this quirky cozy.
