The Happy Tails Dog Walking Mysteries Series: Books 4 - 6 / Happy Tails Dog Walking Mysteries (ePub)

All Bark and No White Knight

Roses are red, Violets are blue, and Olivia Rickard is officially the worst at fixing relationships. Case in point: Olivia decides the best way to go about getting her boyfriend back is to tail him around town. There's no way daring to spy on Andrew's date was going to end well...but Olivia didn't expect it to end in death. 
 Hannah Maclin, Andrew's date, is found dead in the parking lot of the restaurant with a tacky rose sticking out of her chest and lots of suspects near the scene of the crime. Hannah wasn't a well loved woman and she's got a long list of enemies and haters that the police believe includes Andrew. While Olivia thinks this is preposterous, it's given her a reason to go sleuthing again. Before she can fix her love life she has to make sure the man she loves stays out of jail! 
 As Olivia dives into a two part mystery of solving a murder and tracking her ex-boyfriend's puzzling movements, she finds that the two investigations weave together in the old secrets and hidden passions of the town. Her mission becomes finding the truth in the misinformation, but Olivia will need to be careful-she can't miss a clue or she'll lose the love of her life.


Kept in the Bark

Olivia Rickard has turned over a new leaf. She's done with outside investigations. Olivia has decided that, to be a better girlfriend, she's going to turn a blind eye to the mysteries in town. Besides, her sister Janelle is acting fishy enough lately. For Olivia, that mystery is more important to solve than finding out where Andrew's missing report is. However, Andrew isn't letting this particular bone go. He's worried about his coworker, and scared that something might be very, very wrong. Olivia tries to track down Hattie and her missing data so Andrew can present the report to his fullest potential. But when Olivia finds more than one suspect sneaking around Hattie's house, her gut begins to ping and Olivia's sheepdog, Goodwin agrees. Sure enough, Hattie Dominick is nowhere to be found, and there's ice cream melting on her porch. Now time is ticking away faster than the Rocky Road. The Police Chief's hands are tied and it seems like Olivia is the only person searching for this lost soul. Olivia will need to accept that she's born for this sleuthing thing, because giving up on the hunt could mean giving up on ever finding Hattie.

Without Missing a Bark

Dog-nappings are an owners' worst nightmare. When three rare, expensive, and sought after puppies go missing within a few days of each other, Olivia doesn't even need to be asked to take the case. Her clients are like family and she can't stand to see a family grieve over their missing canine members. But when the investigation leads her to a local jeweler's Olivia reveals to her best friend that she's ready to make things official with Andrew. In her shock, Jackie ets it slip that Andrew was thinking the same thing (and has a new ring to prove it!). 
Olivia decides to beat Andrew to the punch. How better to show her stellar level of commitment than proposing first. But the best blabbermouth seems to have tipped off Andrew too. Now, they're playing a game of keep your friends close and your soon-to-be-spouse closer, which Andrew cements by asking to come along on this case. 
 But when the missing puppies lead to the murder of a well-known (and well hated) romance advice columnist, Olivia and Andrew's feelings will be tested. Not just in the battle for the bridal win, but in sifting through suspects who wanted to kill the author for ruining their love lives. Olivia and Andrew are in a rush to find who done it, before the investigation does away with their engagement.
