The Case of the Missing Woman
(2026)(Book 11 in the Dog Walking Detective series)
A Story by Daisy Stone
When Maplewood Cove's most beloved missing person case is suddenly reopened after ten years, Megan Brown expects to find a body. Instead, she finds a woman who may have chosen to disappear—and a family that never stopped searching.
Emily Carter vanished without a trace, leaving behind a husband, two young children, and a town full of questions. Now someone claims to have seen her alive, and Megan must unravel whether Emily is a victim of foul play or the architect of her own elaborate escape.
But as Megan digs deeper into why someone would abandon everything they love, she's forced to confront uncomfortable truths about sacrifice, love, and the difference between holding on and letting go. And Jake is learning lessons from this case that Megan doesn't realize apply to them both.
Some disappearances are tragedies. Others are mercy.
The question is: which one is this?
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with amateur sleuths, small-town secrets, and dogs who always know more than they should.
While this is Book 11 in the Dog Walking Detective series, it can be read as a complete standalone—all mysteries are fully resolved, and no prior knowledge of the series is required.
