Focaccia, Fur, & Festive Fiascos
(2026)(A book in the Whiskers & Whisks Whodunit series)
A novel by Patsy Hicks
A cookie crawl, a poolside party, and two pups with noses for trouble…
What could possibly go wrong?
It’s Christmas in July in the small town of Oak Haven, Tennessee, and Lou Ellsworth is ready to wow the locals with her garden-fresh Sourdough Focaccia Bread during the first-ever holiday-themed Cookie Crawl. With twinkling lights, frosty window coverings, and inflatable snowmen braving the summer sun, the town is buzzing with festive cheer.
But when dog treats start turning up in place of cookies, a snow machine explodes in a foamy mess, and a prized window display goes missing, the crawl quickly descends into chaos. All eyes turn to Lou’s mischievous dogs... Brown the Corgi, who was caught mid-cookie theft, and ever-grumpy Bruiser the Chihuahua, who may or may not have attacked a pesky inflatable reindeer.
As the cookie trail leads to the grand Hartwell Mansion’s glitter-covered pool party, it’s up to Bruiser and Brown to sniff out the saboteur behind the festive fiascos. Can two determined dogs crack the case before Oak Haven’s sunny celebration is ruined?
Full of snacks, shenanigans, and sleuthing snouts, this Christmas in July caper will have you howling with laughter and begging for seconds.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
