One Bark And Stormy Prom Night: Happy Tails Dog Walking Mysteries, #3

By Stella St. Claire

Proms, pups and deadly rumors…

In the wake of her relationship's break, Olivia is beginning to fear that she might grow old with only Goodwin and a pack of dogs by her side. But even the unconditional love of puppies can't shield Olivia from the single most important event in Lexingburg's social calendar: Prom. The roses, romance, and ridiculously priced restaurants seem to be rubbing salt in Olivia's romantic wounds–reminding her at every turn that Andrew is leaving her.

While trying to shut the door on the mess of her relationship, Olivia accidentally opens the door to a murder investigation. Olivia's friend, and the owner of a boutique dog food brand has been killed at her warehouse—bludgeoned with a side of beef. Olivia tries to run off her emotions but only stumbles upon the main murder suspect acting suspicious. She sees this as a sign. If she can't solve her romantic problems she can solve the murder of her good friend.

Now, Olivia finds herself in an ever more tangled web of lies, secrets, and jealousy both recent and decades old. Who knew that dog food could cause as much drama as a high school dance? But the further Olivia wades into the crime the more she realizes that Prom isn't just the main event of the season—it's motivation for murder.
