A murder, a missing sculpture, and a nose for crime…
Angela Atkinson lives a peaceful life in the sleepy town of Hummings Hollow with her best friend and dog, border collie Ruff McPaw. However, life on Angela’s hobby farm at her little historic home might be too peaceful.
Barista by day in a town with no bars and approximately five-and-a-half churches, Angela and Ruff are the sympathetic ears that collect most of the town gossip—occasionally hearing things that were never meant for their ears—or anyone else’s. When not tending her farm in the rolling countryside, working in the coffee shop, or fending off concern from nieces who worry over their forty-years-old-and-still-single-aunt—Angela and Ruff are usually right on the tail of a mystery.
When Ruff finds retired-carpenter Randy Miller dead in the town lake following the disappearance of an expensive sculpture from a nearby exhibit, the dynamic duo believes there may be more to both crimes than meets the eye. With multiple leads and little cooperation from the police, will they be able to put the pieces together in time to keep an innocent person from going to jail?
"A cute story to open the series. I loved the moments where we see what Ruff is thinking... cozy mystery fans who love stories with pet detectives will enjoy this book." --Reader's Favorite

I absolutely loved it. I loved the relationship between the main character and the dog. I loved reading the dog’s point of view. Will be reading the rest of the series.
An expensive sculpture is missing and a will-liked man is dead. Is there a connection? Angela likes her job in the coffee shop but the call of the mystery is powerful. So is the danger but Ruff is there to protect her.This series is off to a good start. Angela and Ruff are a good pair of sleuths. The characters are interesting and relatable. I look forward to the next book in the series. I received an advance copy but my review is honest and voluntary.
This was such a fun book! Angela and Ruff make such a good team. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
This book is a great first read! Lots of drama, humor and friendship!And any book w/a dog is automatically awesome!
The eBook could use a good proof-reader and editor. The writing is stilted and often simplistic. There are numerous grammatical errors, incomplete sentences, run-on sentences, wrong words, missing punctuation and spelling mistakes. Ironically, one character is a high school English teacher. The scene often shifts abruptly between paragraphs. Description is minimal. The characters are not well developed, and behave inconsistently. The dog must have stepped out of a magical mystery and has human thoughts. As others have noted, the book seems to be in the middle of a series. Not sure why this is listed as a craft/hobby/culinary mystery when none of those themes are developed. [Angela works as a Barista, her mother has a “crotchet” basket and the victim restores antiques.] It’s easy to read. There’s no sex, swearing or violence. I would say it’s appropriate for young adult readers if it wasn’t for the poor grammar. Read in Prime.
