A Bark in the Dark
(2026)(The first book in the Delia Russo: Pet Whisperer series)
A novel by Poppy Windham
The only witness to the murder is a basset hound. Fortunately, she speaks dog.
Delia Russo didn't plan on becoming a pet whisperer. But after dying for two minutes and waking up with the ability to communicate with animals, her career as a normal veterinary technician was officially over.
Now she's in Pinecone Falls, Oregon, starting fresh with a quiet pet-sitting business. Then her first client's husband turns up dead in a locked room—and Winston, the sad old hound who saw everything, can't exactly give a statement to police.
Good thing Delia's not the police.
With help from a surveillance-obsessed Persian cat, a raccoon who accepts payment in peanut butter, and a cute veterinarian with a clumsy streak, Delia sets out to catch a killer—one paw print at a time.
A Bark in the Dark is the first in the Delia Russo, Pet Whisperer cozy mystery series. Perfect for fans of humor, heart, and witnesses who eat their own evidence.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
