unleashed & Uncorked - Paperback

by Julia Merlot (Author)

If you enjoy humorous and slightly snarky mysteries and crime capers and authors like Janet Evanovich, Steven Higgs, Spencer Quinn's Chet & Bernie series, and Carl Hiaasen, then "Unleashed and Uncorked" is a must-read for you.

Kat Drexler-Morai was hoping for a quiet summer with her newly adopted Portuguese Water Dog, Koa, in a peaceful cabin on the shores of Legacy Lake. Instead, she gets murder, mayhem, and a couple of ghosts with attitude.

When a real estate mogul drops dead at a wine-tasting party, nearly everyone in Legacy Lake and Liberty Ridge has a motive-and no one has an alibi. But Kat quickly realizes the neighbors have put her at the top of their suspect list. Now, she has to clear her name before she's trading in her Antiques and Oddities business for an orange jumpsuit.

With a town full of quirky (and questionably innocent) neighbors, a dog who insists on sniffing out trouble, and a very opinionated (hunka hunka sexy) ghostly houseguest, Kat soon realizes lakeside living feels less like a cozy retreat and more like starring in a murder mystery reality show. And if Kat doesn't crack the case soon, she might just find herself at the center of their next guessing game... as the prime suspect.

Join Kat and Koa's neighbor's and canine companions as they form a Driveway Detective Party team who gather for yet another round of "let's accuse our neighbors of murder," served with fizzy beverages and a light drizzle of suspicion.

A barkin' good read packed with mystery, mischief, and a splash of bubbly!
