Synopsis

Burned-out software engineer Jake Martin and his golden retriever, Fred, live in a mountain cabin far enough from Denver to escape the rat-race but not far enough to escape its crime. While remodeling an old house, he uncovers a stack of love letters that will turn his world inside out.

When word of the letters gets out, people start dying, including the owner of the house Jake was remodeling. With his main source of income gone, he lets his friend and neighbor, Bonnie Jones, talk him into searching for the killer after they are offered a large retainer. The problem is, the person who hires them is the major suspect.

With the help of Fred and Bonnie, Jake continues to find more evidence that his new employer is trying to create a smokescreen to divert attention from himself. Will the trio of amateur detectives be able to stop the murders, or will they become the next victims?

About Richard Houston

Richard Houston worked as a carpenter for twenty years while taking college classes whenever he could. After earning a bachelor's degree in math he spent the next twenty-five years as a successful software engineer. Although he found success in those professions, he always dreamed of writing a novel. He honed that craft by taking every creative writing class he could. Somehow his poems and short stories usually had a dog as a major character. One in particular, Begging Not for Love, was published by the Mendocino Review.

Richard now lives and writes at his lake home in Missouri, where he and his wife are raising their granddaughter, two dachshunds, and a rescue dog that is mostly golden retriever.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Carrie

It was really just OK. The cover art is great but I found what was inside pretty mediocre. I was surprised that it is book #4 in the series. maybe I need to read more to warm up to the characters. There was nothing really wrong with the book, just not particularly interesting to me.......more

Goodreads review by Eirlys

A Good read. I loved Fred, an adorable dog, who helped his master, Jake, to solve a crime. I liked Bonnie, an elderly neighbour of Jake's, who also helped solve the crime. The story was intriguing and somewhat different. .......more
