Wagging Through the Snow: Melanie Travis Mystery

But the business venture goes cold when the group discovers a purebred Maltese whimpering in the snow-covered grove--right beside a dead body. Pete, a squatter who camped out on the land, apparently met his end after a fallen fir tree branch fell on his head. But as Melanie and Aunt Peg investigate Pete's complicated history, it's clear his death was no accident. Now, Melanie must run through a flurry of likely suspects and muzzle a dogged murderer in time--or she'll be next on someone's deadly list.

"Well-drawn characters contribute to the appeal here, along with the warm, sometimes humorous scenes of family life."
--Booklist

"Another terrific mystery from Laurien Berenson."
