Caerphilly Castle

Spring Fling with Kensington - Liz Mugavero's A BISCUIT, A CASKET

Let's celebrate St. Patrick's Day with A BISCUIT, A CASKET, Book Two in the Gourmet Pet Food Mystery series.   This cozy mystery features an Irish bar, McSwiggs, with a Irish proverb proudly posted:

An áit a bhfuil do chroí is ann a thabharfas do chosa thú.

Your feet will bring you to where your heart is.

Who can resist an Irish pub in a cozy mystery?

The small town of Frog Ledge, Connecticut, has wholeheartedly embraced Kristan "Stan" Connor's new business--preparing quality organic treats for dogs and cats. On a healthy diet, the animals may live longer. . .but one local farmer won't be so lucky. As Halloween approaches, Stan is asked to cater a doggie costume party hosted by the Happy Cow Dairy Farm. Part of a local co-op, Happy Cow specializes in organic dairy products, and farmers Hal and Emmalee Hoffman have started opening up the farm for parties, offering a "haunted" corn maze as an added attraction.

When Hal's lifeless body is found in the maze, the police at first suspect his wife, but Stan soon learns the dairy farmer had plenty of enemies--from bitter family members to shady business associates. If Stan can't extract a kernel of truth from the labyrinth of lies, she may be the next one to buy the farm. . .

Biscuit or the beach?

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them. - Phil Pastoret

I requested to review A BISCUIT, A CASKET because the amateur detective is an animal lover - turned - biscuit maker for beloved pets. Although I had not read Book 1, KNEADING TO DIE, I quickly fell into step with this small town in Connecticut's farming community.   In fact, I felt I was part of Stan's integration as she made new friends, new customers, and perhaps a new love.   Mugavero delivers a lighthearted mystery intertwined with quirky characters who truly care about animals.   Mugavero offers recipes for gourmet pet treats at the end of the book.  

I received an ARC from Kensington for an honest review.  I am giving away my ARC to one randomly selected commenter.  To enter the giveaway,

1.  Leave a comment about pets - do you have any?

2.  Comments are open through Saturday, March 23, 10 pm in Baltimore.

3.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, March 24.

Mahalo,

Kim in Baltimore
