Corgied to Death: A Dog Lover's Cozy Mystery (Barkview Mysteries Book 5)

Description

A murderous memoir, a comical Corgi collaborator and a diamond to die for

You’d think the dog-friendliest town in America would be something like a furry Mayberry—but only if you didn’t know Barkview’s darkest secret. Legend has it that a priceless artifact known as the Douglas Diamond is hidden somewhere in its environs.

And recent history (as chronicled in other Barkview books) has shown that treasure-hunters are easily turned to . . . well, certainly not beasts. Barkview’s beasts are beautifully behaved! It’s the humans who can become first covetous, then mendacious, larcenous, and finally even murderous if the right bait is dangled.

Many a treasure-hunter has thought the priceless treasure was low-hanging fruit ripe for the plucking. But despite countless efforts, people have died for it, and nobody’s plucked it yet.

Even with all the treasure-hunting and murder, the town’s latest secret is even more dramatic—spying during World War Two. Spying that’s just resulted in a new murder. Barkview’s truly the town that has everything—at least for mystery fans, who’ll be happily reminded of Josephine Tey’s masterful Daughter of Time as they watch the characters figure out what happened way back by piecing together historic events.
