USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Carolyn Ridder Aspenson brings to life her love for dogs and future dreams of having enough money to take care of all the strays before they find their furever homes. No dogs are harmed in these books...only loved and maybe spoiled a little bit. Okay, maybe a lot. �� Missy Kingston will do anything necessary to keep her shelter dogs safe, even if that means putting her life in danger. It's that spooky time of year again, and I, Missy Kingston, couldn't wait to showcase the adorable pups from the local animal shelter at our quaint but small town's Fall festival. But my excitement was quickly squashed when I stumbled upon the festival organizer's lifeless body amidst a heap of pumpkins. As a widow with time on my hands and a knack for getting in over my head, I can't help but suspect there's more to this grisly scene than meets the eye. And when I hear rumors that the culprit might be someone who opposes my beloved pooch party program and might even want to close the animal shelter I now fund and volunteer at, I know I must act fast. I refuse to let anyone interfere with my passion for finding loving homes for these furry friends. Along with my adult daughter, they're what has kept me going since my husband passed. So, with the help of the town's quirky residents, I'll dig deeper and follow every lead until I uncover the truth behind this heinous crime and catch the killer. But the clock is ticking, and I can feel the killer's eyes on me. Will I be able to solve the mystery and catch the culprit before they come after me and my beloved dogs? One thing's for sure: this is a case that hits close to home, and I won't rest until justice is served.
