Unleashed

Someone's dishing the dirt on the dog-show world, until she's muzzled for good: "[A] winning cozy . . . the ending is a surprise."—Publishers Weekly

Summer means two things to Melanie Travis: a break from her teaching duties at Connecticut's elite Howard Academy and a chance to plan the perfect wedding to her fiancé, Sam. She certainly doesn't need the unwelcome arrival of a dinner invitation "peace offering" from Sam's ex-wife, Sheila Vaughn. To make matters worse, Sheila announces her temporary stay in town is now permanent: she's accepted a job as co-publisher of Woof!, a new gossip rag for the dog show world. But before the first issue is out, a hotter story breaks when Sheila is strangled with a leather dog leash.

As far as Melanie's concerned, the woman should have been on a leash long ago. And it seems she isn't alone in her dislike of Sheila. Some of Woof!'s salacious stories threatened to expose the dirty paws of quite a few important exhibitors, and someone on Sheila's staff may have found her high-handed attitude worth silencing. It will take the instincts of a bloodhound to sniff out a killer who's bent on putting an end to Melanie's amateur sleuthing . . .

"For pet fans who thrive on dog-show lore, Berenson's brand is always best in show."—Kirkus Reviews
