The Stolen Maplewood Star
(2026)(The ninth book in the Dog Walking Detective series)
A Story by Daisy Stone
When the town's century-old Christmas heirloom vanishes during the tree lighting ceremony, Megan Brown has seventy-two hours to find it before the press arrives for a New Year's feature—and discovers Maplewood Cove's most treasured tradition is missing.
But this isn't an official investigation. The town council wants the theft kept quiet, which means no police, no public searches, and no Detective Hayes finding out Megan's working a case behind her back.
With Jake reluctantly helping and Biscuit sporting a truly embarrassing holiday sweater, Megan navigates small-town Christmas politics, family feuds, and a suspect list that includes half the people at the tree lighting. Someone took the Maplewood Star. And they're betting the town's too distracted by holiday cheer to notice until it's too late.
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 9 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.
Genre: Mystery
