I’m Ellie Hart, and when a dog walking job falls in my lap, it looks like my luck has changed. Changed for the worst, that is, when the first thing I do is stumble upon a body.

And the new detective in town happens to be the most eligible bachelor around. And my new boss’s grandson. I’ve signed on for way more than I’d ever wanted.

With my job on the line, my black Lab at my side, and donuts in hand, my only choice is to follow the clues. But when footprints lead to evidence that doesn’t add up, I kick my natural nosiness into high gear.

My life is a complete mess, but with my new passion for sniffing out clues, I might just solve this dirty whodunit before the wrong person is arrested.

Aubrey Rose here. After three short years of marriage, I’m single and back in Willow Cove…living with my mother as co-owner of a bed and breakfast.
I knew there would be surprises in store but the handyman’s dog unearthing human bones in the rose garden wasn’t on my list. The town police chief isn’t concerned about the remains and the locals aren’t talking.
The handyman, Gavin, is my only help in solving this mystery.
As we dig up new clues, more town secrets are revealed. Maybe these bones, and the enigma surrounding them, should have remained buried.
