About this ebook
It’s chaos in Crosbyville when someone tries to swindle a large inheritance, but as Pris and Bailey start digging for the missing money, they uncover the wrong kind of bones….
Finally finished with the renovations on her new house, bestselling children’s book author Pris and her trusty bloodhound, Bailey, are finding more opportunities to join the community, including attending the annual town festival. But their efforts are paw-sed when David Townsend, volatile grandson of the late wealthy resident Edward Townsend, comes to fetch his inheritance.
After the new arrival riles up several other locals with petty arguments, the once sleepy town goes barking mad. Before long, the wealthy bachelor disappears without a trace, and the police suspect foul play. Bailey’s tracking instincts helped them collar the last criminal in Crosbyville, so the cops turn to Pris and her sweet hound to track down David.
But on their search-and-rescue mission, Pris and Bailey sniff out fraud, theft, and a body. Before they know it, both are hackles-deep inside another homicide investigation. Can the unlikely duo chase down the killer, or will they be left chasing their own tails?

Hounding a Killer is a cute cozy mystery. My favorite character is Bailey the Bloodhound. I found Pris to be a little off in this book. Pris was too timid, she overreacted, her feelings got hurt easily, and she took things the wrong way. I did not feel the chemistry between Pris and her boyfriend. They felt like good friends instead of romantic partners. The mystery was interesting. I found the pacing to be slow & there are repetitive details. This book can be read as a standalone.
