Dogs are better behaved than people in this new cozy mystery where a pet behaviorist finds herself the prime suspect in an upscale murder, perfect for fans of Eva Gates and Victoria Gilbert.
Nikki Jackson-Ramanathan is struggling to get her pet behaviorist business off the ground, making ends meet as a dog walker while keeping her eyes peeled for greener pastures. An appointment in a rich suburb of Saint Louis seems to be her ticket to success. The wealthy Mrs. Van Meer wants Nikki to help the family’s old hound dog who is grieving the loss of his owner. But then Mrs. Van Meer turns up dead.
With a multitude of suspects like the sketchy landscaper, the judgy housekeeper, and the rest of Mrs. Van Meer’s money-obsessed family members, Nikki’s happy to sit back and let the police solve the crime. Until she learns that Mrs. Van Meer’s will leaves Nikki in charge of a sizable amount of money and the police start dogging her every step.
Life would be a lot easier if she just had to deal with the animals, but Nikki resolves to catch the real culprit and convince the cops they’re barking up the wrong tree.
©2025 Emily Soderberg (P)2025 Spotify AudiobooksNikki is a lovable character with many side hustles next to her pet behaviorist work. You quickly get to know all about her life and work with dogs and her new mysterious assignment at the Van Meer estate. Nikki is quite unsure of this new job and setting but adores Reginald the dog she is meant to help.
Nikki is relatable maybe she gets in her own head a lot but overall she is endearing and so are all the animals in the story.
The resolution of the murder mystery is quite abrupt but satisfying and praise for the symbolism used (the painting, the two cats and the connection to solving the crime). The book is informed by knowledge of dog breeds, training and psychology as well, which pops up here and there as addition (Terri a treat) making the story both genuine and fun. Most of all the scenery and Van Meer house makes this book worth sniffing out!
Dog cosy crime at its best
