Biscuits and Blackmail
(2026)(The third book in the Pugs Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Amanda Sterczyk
Retirement in a charming British village was supposed to be predictable. Then the blackmail notes started arriving.
Reginald "Reg" Thorne thought he'd finally earned a quieter life. After a career spent in covert logistics, he's settled into the flat above Dr. Sniffles' Pet Surgery with his two faithful talking pugs, Pudding and Pickles. Between dog walks, afternoon tea, and keeping his former career a secret from most of the village, retirement is beginning to suit him.
But the peace is shattered when anonymous blackmail notes demand that Reg rejoin the service—or risk losing everything he's worked so hard to build. At the same time, rumours of ghost rats and an impending health inspection threaten to destroy his friends' new vegan bistro. The two mysteries couldn't possibly be connected... could they?
With Rowan and the ever-opinionated talking cat, Cinnamon, joining the investigation, Reg must launch one last covert operation. With Pudding and Pickles sniffing out clues (and snacks), this motley crew has only a few days to expose the mastermind before Reg is driven from the village he's finally started to call home.
If you love quirky talking animals, retired spies, laugh-out-loud humour, and cozy mysteries where friendship and family matter just as much as solving the case, jump into the third book of the Pugs Cozy Mysteries!
