The Cold Case Chronicles
(2026)(The sixth book in the Dog Walking Detective series)
A Story by Daisy Stone
A cold case that won't stay buried. A killer who never left town. And a dog walker who just uncovered their darkest secret.
When Biscuit pulls a weathered briefcase from the weeds near the abandoned warehouse, Megan Brown expects another small-town mystery. Instead, she finds proof that Sarah Morrey—the woman who vanished fifteen years ago—didn't run away. She was murdered.
For fifteen years, Sarah's son Tom has waited for answers. Now Megan can get them. But reopening this case means waking a killer who's been hiding in plain sight. The warnings start immediately: break-ins, threatening calls, shadows on her morning walks.
Then another woman disappears. Same profession. Same MO. Same killer.
Megan isn't investigating a cold case anymore. She's hunting a serial killer who's had fifteen years to perfect his technique. And when he takes Jake hostage at the lighthouse where it all began, Megan must choose: walk away and save the man she loves, or finish what Sarah started.
Because in Maplewood Cove, some secrets are worth killing for.
And this killer isn't done yet.
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 6 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.
