Bite the Dust

Written by Jackie Layton

Narrated by Meg Price

Secrets can be deadly.

One steamy South Carolina morning, Low Country dog walker Andi Grace Scott discovers a client’s dead body. Police quickly decide she’s the prime suspect. Horrified, she knows she’ll have to turn detective if she’s going to convince them they’re barking up the wrong tree.

Proving her innocence could be a tall order. The local police never solved the hit-and-run that killed her parents; Andi Grace isn’t sure they’ll solve this crime either…not when they have a convenient suspect—one caught with the possible murder weapon in her hand. She’ll have to follow every clue and call in every favor, even if that puts her in danger.

If you love strong heroines, coastal small-town life, and dogs, you’ll love Bite the Dust.

Reviews for Bite the Dust

[gaby dickson · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Started out ok and turned into total unbelievable, romance drivel. This supposed string woman who raised a family when her parents died, did nothing but winge and hang off the first man who turns up on his white horse. Bloody nonsense!!!

I enjoyed this storyline with a few different stories going. The believable characters made this story interesting.

[Jeanni Waksel · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Overall, it was a great mystery. Had me guessing as to who had done it and why. I got frustrated with the protagonist with her doubt of people who had proven themselves. Once family was threatened, her wishy-washy conviction when I had the idea that she was stronger in her need to find the truth. To me, the protagonist wasn't constant in character. Otherwise I did enjoy the story and the development of the plot.

Dribble. About the 3 minute mark I knew it wasn't for me. I kept listening. Disappointed in the ending. All foreshadowing pointed to another person. Credible writer not.

It was cute. Clean fun listening. I recommend it for anyone.

[Kim Willis · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I’ve listened to all three books of the series. Hoping that there’s more to come. I’ve already suggested them to a few friends. It’s refreshing to have a story with a Christian background. I’ve enjoyed the series.

Good mystery but the God stuff starting to get a bit...

[Rebecca Ward · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Way too many unnecessary religious references. Also, the whole owning an old plantation thing and thinking it’s “cool” and amazing is gross. Stop writing books with weird racist things in them. The only positive was the narrator.

Very entertaining, low suspense for a light but engaging reading!!
