Things become even less pleasant as she continues on her way – Holly witnesses an exploding car on the way into Wagtail, and shortly after her arrival at her grandmother’s inn, an employee staggers in shortly after her, claiming to have jumped on his way in through the side door. The only upside is that she’s picked up a passenger at a gas station a few hours out of Wagtail – a Jack Russell terrier that seemed to be waiting for her. Though she starts the novel with a seemingly-reliable if uninspiring boyfriend, it isn’t hard to tell that there is trouble brewing on the horizon for that particular relationship. Holly had just left a job over ethical reasons a week ago, and as the closest relative to her grandmother geographically, it made the most sense for her to go. Holly Miller is on her way to her grandmother’s inn, the Sugar Maple Inn, in Wagtail, Virginia, having received a troubling phone call indicating medical trouble for her grandmother. (Wow, has it really been that short a time ago? It sure does feel like a lot longer!)Īs is traditional in modern Cozies, this particular series starts with the soon-to-be sleuth on a bit of a losing streak.
If you don’t remember me covering Krista Davis before, I don’t blame you – it’s been quite a while, back in this 2016 post on the Domestic Diva Mystery Series. I just finished reading Murder, She Barked, the first in Krista Davis‘s Paws and Claws Mystery Series. Well, this month, I’m doing something a bit less common, and revisiting an author that I’ve already discussed once before. Now Holly and her furry companions will have to nose out the murderer before someone else gets muzzled.ĭelicious recipes for owners and pets included!As most site readers are probably aware, once a month I seek out and reread (or read for the first time, in some cases) a particularly popular and recommended Cozy series by a site author. But someone in this friendly town is bad to the bone. One of the employees at the inn has been killed in a hit-and-run accident-which is looking anything but accidental.
The staff-and a frisky Calico kitten named Twinkletoes-adopts Holly and her new dog on arrival. Holly Miller's life has gone to the dogs. She has no job, her boyfriend's former flame is sniffing around, and a scruffy but loveable Jack Russell Terrier is scattering crumbs all over her borrowed car. Just when she thought things couldn't get worse, a troubling phone call about her grandmother sends her rushing home to the family inn on Wagtail Mountain. But this tourist town smells trouble when a killer goes on the prowl.
The Sugar Maple Inn in Wagtail, Virginia, is the country's premiere vacation hot spot for pet owners who can’t bear to leave their furry friends behind. THE FIRST PAWS & CLAWS MYSTERY FROM KRISTA DAVIS-A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
