Death Under the Dogwoods

Two beloved sleuths. Two unforgettable dogs. One compelling mystery collection. In the third collaboration between Neil S. Plakcy and Joanna Campbell Slan, two fan-favorite worlds come together in a pair of twist-filled novellas where instinct-both human and canine-makes all the difference. In "Dog Moves in Mysterious Ways," Steve Levitan and his golden retriever, Rochester, return to untangle a case that leads far beyond first appearances. What begins as a troubling discovery reveals a hidden life built on secrets, access, and deception-and a truth that may matter most before it's too late. In "A Paws Beneath the Petals," readers of Joanna's Kiki Lowenstein series will feel right at home as Kiki-and her perceptive Great Dane, Gracie-navigate a mystery where charm masks danger and every clue points to something deeper beneath the surface. Two distinct voices. Two richly drawn investigations. And two remarkable dogs who see what others miss. Perfect for fans of character-driven mysteries, loyal canine companions, and stories where heart and suspense go hand in hand. Together, these two novellas offer compelling characters, clever twists, and mysteries that will keep you turning pages.
