Death of a Dog Whisperer
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
It's summer in Connecticut, and Melanie Travis's life has become an endless string of dog shows, soccer camp, and the antics of her energetic toddler. She hardly has time to pay much attention to her Aunt Peg's new protégé, Nick Walden, a self-proclaimed "dog whisperer" with an uncanny gift for decoding dog-speak. The well-heeled dog owners of Fairfield County are lapping up his alleged talents, anxious to discover exactly what their pampered pets are thinking—that is until the pooches start spilling their secrets.
When Nick is found dead, his sister enlists Melanie to track down the killer. Now, as she juggles the demands of marriage and motherhood—not to mention her six beloved Poodles—Melanie can scarcely even begin to nose through the growing list of suspects. But just when she thinks she's barking up the wrong tree, she'll find herself face to face with a purebred murderer...
"Melanie's engaging narration, with its slightly sarcastic flair, makes her utterly relatable."—Publishers Weekly
"Berenson cleverly weaves in interesting details about different breeds and showmanship."—Booklist

The intricacies of championship dog showing and the complexities of murder intertwine in Berenson’s entertaining 17th Melanie Travis mystery (after 2013’s Gone with the Woof). Amiable, handsome, and talented dog whisperer Nick Walden is gunned down in his home, possibly by someone he knows. His sister Claire enlists dog-loving amateur sleuth Melanie to help find Nick’s killer. The long list of suspects includes Nick’s clients; his snobby girlfriend, Diana Lee; and Melanie’s own Aunt Peg. Melanie uses her keen investigative instincts to sniff out clues in her lovely town in Connecticut’s Fairfield County, all while balancing two children, six standard poodles, and marital problems. Melanie’s engaging narration, with its slightly sarcastic flair, makes her utterly relatable. Fans will roll over with joy, and new cozy readers will likely scoop up the rest of the series.
