Maplewood is shaken when Margaret Jenkins, owner of Paws & Claws, is found dead in her shop.
Alexia thought helping Margaret with the adoption of pets would be a routine day—until she discovered her body behind a hidden door.

Who wanted Margaret out of the way? Why are Alexia and Detective Curren the only ones convinced this wasn’t an accident?

As Alexia finds an old photograph of Margaret and a blood-stained fabric hidden in the puppy room, suspicion begins to focus on Margaret’s estranged sister Kim—whose bitter family fights suggest there are deeper secrets. Suspicions also turn to Tyrice, her ex-husband, who is angry over Margaret’s betrayal and hiding a darker past.

With her loyal dog Buddy and her quirky best friend, Alexia races against time—facing threats from those desperate to keep the truth buried—hoping to solve Margaret’s murder before she becomes the next victim.
