Death at Rosewood Manor - Furrific Friends - Barking Good Cozy Mystery - Book 1

Welcome to Cascade, the lovely village where quirky folks abound!

And where murder almost never happens...

'Just me and my Shadow' vows Louise Penfold when she and her furry friend leave behind the city and a nasty divorce for a fresh start in small-town Ontario.

At 52, freelance editor Louise is ready to enjoy life in her lovingly renovated little house on Charlotte's Lane. Now, she'd find time for her hobby writing fun mysteries and for rambles with the pooch.

But the peaceful facade of the village is shattered when Louise receives a strange condolence card in her mailbox. Things only get stranger when a mysterious midnight visitor refuses to leave and her shear brandishing neighbor utters wild accusations against Carol Benson, the previous owner of Louise's house.

Adding to the mystery are the financially troubled young couple living next door, who were the late Carol's niece and nephew.

When the police show up at the nursing home where Louise volunteers, it's clear, foul play was afoot in Carol's demise.

As a longtime assistant to a true crime writer, Louise can't help but put her skills and sense of humor to the test, trying her hand at amateur sleuthing. But as she delves deeper into the case, she realizes that finding the truth comes at a price.

Can Louise uncover the killer and find the peace she craves in her new home and chosen community?

Or is she putting herself and Shadow at risk?
