Bark & Bite: Biscuits & Bad Behavior Book 1
Best in show. Worst in character. Dead by morning.
Maggie Fontaine didn't plan on solving a murder. She planned on baking dog treats, hiding from her past, and pretending everything was fine. But when a champion handler drops dead at Savannah's most prestigious dog show, poisoned by a product that should have been hers, she's suddenly suspect number one.
With a by-the-book detective who doesn't trust her, a charming bachelor who might be too good to be true, and a rescue mutt whose nose is sharper than any forensic lab, Maggie must clear her name before the real killer makes her next batch of biscuits her last.
BARK & BITE serves ✅ A whip-smart heroine with a scientific mind and a complicated past✅ A loyal rescue dog who always sniffs out the truth✅ Championship dog show drama with old money secrets✅ A slow-burn romance that starts with mutual suspicion✅ A fair-play whodunit with red herrings and a satisfying reveal✅ Atmospheric Savannah setting dripping with Southern charm✅ Original dog treat AND human recipes included
Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen Mysteries, Krista Davis's Paws & Claws series, and anyone who believes their dog is smarter than most detectives.
