Review: Dog Days of Summer

Dog Days of Summer Dog Days of Summer by Kathleen Y'Barbo
My rating: 💛💛💛

This cover is so cute. And it is so accurate of what the reader will find within the pages.

This cozy mystery was fun and engaging. I enjoyed that the main characters were a bit older than those we met in the first book, though they do make appearances often.

The mystery plot was interesting and though I had my one suspect, I didn't get the full picture until the end.

If you enjoy lighter mysteries, with some 4-paw characters bringing some fun scenes, you need to read this series.

Mishaps Abound as Second Chance Ranch Struggles to Get Its Start

Grab a lap dog to cuddle and relax into a fun small-town mystery as a new dog rescue project turns into a three-ring circus of calamities in book 2 of the Gone to the Dogs series.

Trina Potter, Nashville country music star, buys a ranch near her hometown in Brenham, Texas, to help her niece open a rescue facility for dogs. Her presence in town stirs up some old high school rivalries—and romance. Finding property to buy is a challenge, convincing her mother to move there with her is daunting, and navigating a string of strange accidents is perplexing. Sometimes Trina feels like she’s purchased her own three ring circus instead of a beautiful piece of land. But her first priority will be figuring out who wants Second Chance Ranch shut down before they even have the grand opening.
