Blurb:
Dog-loving
divorcée and amateur sleuth Lilly Echosby is not the only one who wants her new
foster poodle. Some are willing to kill to have him . . .
Lilly's best pal Scarlett “Dixie” Jefferson has done it
again! She’s convinced eccentric poodle-loving billionaire Archibald Lowry to
sponsor a grand fundraiser for the Eastern Tennessee Poodle Rescue. Tragically,
it’s too late to rescue Lowry, who is murdered at the event. His pet poodle is
now orphaned, so Dixie begs Lilly to foster the adorable pup. Of course, she
already has a poodle—her beloved Aggie, named after Agatha Christie.
Fortunately, Aggie seems to like the new addition to the family, whom Lilly
renames Rex, after her second favorite mystery author, Rex Stout.
But she’s barely welcomed Rex into her home when there’s an
attempted poodle-nabbing, foiled with Aggie’s help. As desperate characters try
to get their hands on the canine cutie, Lilly turns to Dixie’s dog training
class to help her sort through a litter of suspects. Ultimately, she may have
to unleash Rex as bait to collar the killer . . .
My review:
Paw and
Order is a delightful cozy mystery. Even though I hadn’t read the earlier
installments I had no problems catching up with who was who. This story
features wonderfully quirky supporting characters and suspects, an enthralling
who done it all while being surrounded by dogs of all stripes. I’ll be checking
out the books I’d missed and looking forward to future installments with Lilly
and the gang.
