If you’re a fan of cozy mysteries and like dogs, you’ll enjoy meeting Maggie Porter and her beautiful dogs—a champion Labrador Retriever, an aging Cocker Spaniel, and a Beagle retired from federal service. The first book in the series finds Maggie in a lot of trouble when she returns to her childhood home in the Ozarks to reopen the family dog business. From the start, she’s plagued by a string of woes that turn serious when the Waterside Kennels’ gossip-loving receptionist turns up dead.
