(Note: no dogs die in this series; titles are takeoffs from books, movies, etc.)
Marcia Banks (pronounced Mar-see-a, not Marsha) likes to think of herself as a normal person, even though she has a rather abnormal vocation. She trains service dogs for military veterans with PTSD. And when the former Marine owner of her first trainee is accused of murdering his wife, Marcia gets sucked into an even more abnormal avocation—amateur sleuth.
Called in to dog-sit the Labrador service dog, Buddy, she’s outraged that his veteran owner’s neighbors are assuming he’s guilty. With Buddy’s help, she tries to uncover the real killer. Even after the hunky local sheriff politely tells her to butt out, Marcia keeps poking around. Until the killer finally pokes back...
