Tessa's Nose For Trouble
(2026)(A book in the Dachshund Cosy Mystery series)
A novel by Patti Petrone Miller
Some mysteries hide in plain sight. Some secrets are buried deep in small towns where everyone knows your name.
Hannah Douglas thought she'd found peace. A quiet life in Mulberry, Vermont. A thriving candle shop on Pine Street. A close circle of loyal friends. And Tessa—her brilliant, nose-twitching dachshund who notices everything.
Then a shawl appears. A hand-woven piece in burnt orange, left in the shop with no explanation. And Hannah's intuition—the same gut instinct that made Tessa famous for sniffing out trouble—tells her something is wrong.
Someone in Mulberry is hiding something.
What should have been a simple question spirals into dangerous territory. A missing woman. A shadowy suspect. A board meeting where nothing is said but everything is meant. And Hannah finds herself pulled into a dark investigation that threatens to unravel the tight-knit bonds of the community she loves.
As suspicion spreads like wildfire through Pine Street, Hannah discovers that the people closest to you can harbor the deepest secrets. That small-town charm masks small-town darkness. And that sometimes, loyalty demands that you risk everything.
Tessa's nose has always been reliable. But when fear creeps in and truth becomes complicated, even a brilliant dog can't always find the answers Hannah needs.
Because in Mulberry, everyone has something to lose. And someone is willing to kill to keep their secret safe.
Perfect for readers who crave cozy mystery with substance. Who love small-town secrets. Who know that the best mysteries unfold in places where everyone should trust each other but nobody does. Fans of intriguing female protagonists, amateur sleuths, and dog companions who are more than just sidekicks.
A gripping cozy mystery that proves: Trust is the most dangerous thing you can give someone. And sometimes, the person you need to fear is the one you thought was your friend.
Tessa's Nose for Trouble is where intrigue meets intensity. Where heartbreak and hope collide. Where a woman, a dog, and a town full of lies converge in a story you won't be able to put down.
The truth is waiting in Mulberry. But are you ready for what it will cost?
