"...a cozy mystery that will have you laughing and crying, sometimes at the same time!" - Anne-Marie Reynolds, for Readers' Favorite

Three lonely neighbors. Five loyal dogs. One big mystery.

What do a retired pharmacist, a quirky church choir director, and a Gen Z gamer have in common? Nothing much—until a cheesy murder mystery party at their apartment complex takes a bloody turn.

After sharing front-row seats to an actual murder, Priya Visser, Gloria Williams, and Ryan Hsia form an unlikely team. As they follow a trail of long-buried secrets, the newfound sleuths must rely on each other and their dogs—a stately pug, two cheeky dachshunds, a grieving German shepherd, and an excitable lab puppy—to sniff out a killer hiding in plain sight.

As clues (and friendships) pile up, this mismatched trio might just find what they’ve been connection, courage, and the start of a true pack.

The Dog Ladies is a laugh-out-loud cozy mystery with just a dash of danger, perfect for fans of second chances, chosen family, and sleuths on four paws.

"Watching sweet old ladies and an awkward IT guy try to corner a vicious murderer is as entertaining as it sounds." - Gabriel Santos, for Readers' Favorite
