Legends Rise Over The Three Hounds Bakery

Doxies & Donuts Mystery #4

by Julie Titterington

A legend on the loose. A killer in costume. And three doxies who always sniff out the truth.

Mystery author Willa Lattner expects her book-signing tour through Northern California’s quirkiest roadside attractions to deliver little more than paperbacks, pastries, and people-watching. But when a man dressed as Bigfoot bursts into a tacky gift shop and commits murder in broad daylight, her road trip takes a deadly detour.

Even stranger? Killer, Kyle, and Wags seem to recognize the monster in the suit.

Convinced the attacker is someone from her own hometown of Humboldt Cove, Willa dives into a tangled web of clues, cryptid enthusiasts, and secrets. But the closer she gets to unmasking the truth, the clearer it this Bigfoot isn’t a legend. He’s someone dangerously close to home.

Perfect for fans of small-town charm, mischievous pups, and cozy mysteries with heart—and teeth.

This one was just didn't hold my interest. I got about a third of the way through and realized I didn't really want to wade through the rest of the book to find out what was going on, so I skipped to the end and saw no reason to go back and read the middle.

I did like the recipes!

26-23. I enjoy visiting Humboldt Cove, the 3 story pink house, and the three hounds donut shop. So many characters and great twists. I purchased this e-book from Amazon prime.
