Three retirees. Three dogs. One body at the bottom of the town wishing well. Somebody's wish definitely did NOT come true.
When a storm cracks open the hillside beneath Carraway, Colorado's old wishing well, a generation of tossed coins come tumbling out—along with the remains of someone who went missing nearly fifty years ago. The bones belong to Karen Briggs, a girl who vanished on prom night in 1974. The town buried her memory. The mountain buried the rest.
Lorraine Mercer sat two rows over from Karen in freshman English. She remembers the red braid, the big laugh, the doodles she left behind in borrowed notes. Now she wants answers—and she's got help. Cecil Ashby, a retired funeral director with a bone-dry wit and a Yorkie named Winston. And Dixie Farrow, the wildcard of their group who has never met a locked door, an awkward silence, or a social boundary she couldn't barrel straight through.
Together, they'll chase the truth through a tangle of golden-boy quarterbacks, cold-eyed best friends, a suspiciously quiet gardener—and a secret this town has been keeping for half a century.
Old Dogs, Old Bones is the second book in the Old Dogs' Club series—a warm, witty cozy mystery about friendship, second acts, and three people who prove the best investigators don't need badges. Just dog treats, good pie, and zero interest in minding their own business.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
