Official synopsis Publisher
Introducing Arial Kingston—dog-sitter, amateur sleuth, and owner of a guest house with a body under the floorboards.
Lucky dog-sitter Arial Mayes Kingston has inherited property in Monterey, California. But the novelty of being a first-time homeowner is short-lived due to a noxious termite fumigation in the guest house and the discovery of a body under the floorboards.
Foul play seems most likely, but who was the victim? And why would the killer stash the body under the guest house? Determined to put her observational skills to good use–and with her first doggie client, the adorable Monty, by her side–Arial must overcome neighborly tensions, unravel mysterious disappearances, and mop up canine misdemeanors as she attempts to sniff out a killer!
A page-turning cozy mystery full of clever twists, cunning characters, and canines! Fans of Laurien Berenson, Krista Davis, and dog lovers everywhere will adore Poison and Pooches.
