Whilst Penelope is trying to catch a dog in a cemetery the dog jumps into an open grave, so Penelope jumps in too! When she tries to climb out she dislodges some soil and discovers part of a body! Planted under a rose bush, so not in a proper grave. Turns out the man had been missing for years. Lots of complications ensue as alongside the murder Penelope and Jake have been tasked in looking into Dog homes. A very entertaining read.
I very much enjoy this series. Nothing explicit, no gratuitous violence. These books deliver on the ‘cosy’ of a cosy mystery. Penelope and Jake are a solid couple with great communication and sincere affection for each other (and Brutus!). And I quite like Penelope’s personality - she’d be an entertaining friend.
