A Favor Worth Killing For
(2026)(The third book in the Dog Club Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Teddy Hanover
Some favors come with a body attached.
When Mara Penley agrees to train Atlas, a lab puppy destined to become a seizure alert dog for a shy young woman named Alexis, she expects the usual challenges. What she doesn't expect is a dead boyfriend at the bottom of a staircase.
Alexis had a seizure the night Mitch died. Her memory of those hours is gone. With no alibi and a history of conflict between them, the police have questions she can't answer.
Mara knows Alexis didn't do it. Proving it is another matter entirely.
The suspects multiply. A protective brother hiding a dangerous secret. A mother who may not have gone straight home. And Alexis's closest friend — the woman holding everything together, the woman who introduced them — who may have decided it was time to correct her own terrible mistake.
Someone did Alexis a favor that night.
The question is whether Mara can find the truth before the wrong person pays for it.
Genre: Mystery
