Dog Biscuits and Dead Bodies. Pupcakes and Peril, #1

Life couldn't be better for Pupcakes Bakery owner Tassie Drake. (Well.life could always be better, but things were pretty doggone good.) Her sister was handling the mind-numbing paperwork of the bakery, and the long Maine winter was over, which meant more bakery business and more walks in the park with her Chiweenie, Baxter--when she wasn't baking delectably cute doggy treats, that is. However, discovering a dead body on the way to the dog park was not on Tassie's to-do list.
The fact he was the meanest get-off-my-lawn old man in town didn't make it better. The fact Tassie's best friend was being charged with the murder made it worse. And while the town's new detective, Jack Sterling, might be very (incredibly, drop-dead--oops, bad choice of words) handsome, he had the wrong suspect. It's up to Tassie and Baxter to find the real killer--and there is a town full of suspects--before her friend takes the fall.
But staying ahead of a cold-blooded murderer is no piece of pupcake. Dog Bones and Dead Bodies is the first book in the Pupcakes and Peril cozy mystery series. If you love smart likeable female sleuths, adorable sidekicks with four paws, and small towns full of quirky characters, you'll adore reading about Tassie and Baxter's adventures!
