(2025)(A book in the Second Chance Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Tilly Bramwell and Maisy Marple
Every Rescue Deserves a Second Chance... Even When Murder Comes Calling
Welcome to Maple Ridge, where the coffee is strong, the community is close-knit, and the dogs at Second Chance Animal Shelter have an uncanny knack for sniffing out killers. Join shelter director Olivia "Liv" Barnes as she solves murders, rescues dogs, and discovers that sometimes the most unlikely witnesses have four paws and a tail.
PAWS FOR MURDER: When wealthy benefactor Douglas Whitman is found murdered in the shelter's storage shed, Liv must solve the case to save the shelter's future. With his champion poodle Sir Barksalot as the only witness, Liv uncovers corruption, real estate schemes, and a killer who'll stop at nothing to cover their tracks.
COLLAR OF DUTY: Six months later, the murder of celebrity dog trainer Jackson Matthews during Maple Ridge's Spring Festival threatens the shelter's new service dog program. With Sheriff Jim Cooper now firmly in Liv's corner, they must catch a killer before another veteran is framed for a crime he didn't commit.
LEASH ON LIFE: When prestigious dog breeder Victoria Cunningham is found strangled in the shelter's parking lot during a major adoption event, her champion Cavalier King Charles Spaniel becomes Liv's newest rescue—and holds the key to catching a killer with a chilling secret operation.
HOUND OF SUSPICION: Now newlyweds, Liv and Sheriff Cooper face their most complex case yet when a mysterious foundation director is murdered in the new therapy dog training room. Her golden retriever Chance carries evidence that could expose a nationwide fraud scheme—if they can keep him alive long enough to decode it.
CANINE CONSPIRACY: The shelter's first professional dog show turns deadly when judge Madeline Barker is found strangled in the judging pavilion. Her champion Doberman, Royal Commander, witnessed everything—and someone's willing to kill again to silence him permanently.
PAWPRINTS ON THE HEART: In the series finale, what should be a joyous dedication of the Douglas Whitman Memorial Garden becomes another murder scene when sculptor Vanessa Mitchell is killed with her own tools. Her Border Collie Shadow holds the clues to an art forgery scheme that brings the series full circle to a satisfying conclusion.
Follow Liv, Sheriff Cooper, and their growing pack of canine companions as they transform tragedy into second chances. With a cast of quirky small-town characters and dogs who play crucial roles in solving each mystery, this heartwarming series combines laugh-out-loud moments with genuine emotion and clever plotting.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries featuring animals, small towns, and heroines who prove that age brings wisdom, determination, and a talent for catching killers.
