This is book number 10 in the Oceanside Cozy Mystery series. It can be read as a standalone. Thanks to the author for the opportunity to read and review this book. These are my own opinions. This book could use an editor, there are missing words and split infinitives which detract from the story and the enjoyment of reading.
What I liked:
A light, cozy mystery read with a cat & dog loving donut shop owning female private investigator, in a small town setting with quirky characters; no cliffhanger ;no swearing!; no gore; no graphic scenes and the characters!
Jamie, Amy’s boyfriend, is finally opening his mobile dog grooming business. He has brought his business to a local park. There he meets a dog owner that drops her dog off for grooming and fails to return for her, Miss Marshmallow.
The following day, the owner is found dead in another part of the park. Jamie & Amy are now fostering Miss Marshmallow until a permanent home can be found for her to the chagrin of Dave, the Ryan’s donut loving dog.
Heather and Amy are assisting the local police with finding the killer of the dog owner.
Read and find out who did it, why and learn about the victim’s past.

Jaime finally has his mobile pet grooming van up and ready for business. At the end of the day he has an abandoned dog on his hands. Turns out the owner was murdered. It’s up to Ryan, his partner, Heather and Amy to find the killer.
I would have given this book five stars but the missing words and misplaced words just throw me off. Otherwise it was well written and a great addition to the series.

Jamie has finally got his mobile grooming van up and running. On the first day out he ends up with a dog and no owner has shown to pick her up. Murder or has the owner just forgotten about her dog??
Interesting story and case for the besties.
Another yummy donut and fun seeing the dog dynamics between Dave and Miss Marshmallow.

Good read
This story is well written and involves another murder for Heather and Amy to work on. After a dog was left with Jamie to groom, the owner never returns to pick her up. The hunt is on to find the woman. Good quick read to enjoy. Loved it.

Donuts, Death, and a Dog
Always delicious donuts to go with murder, but how about a new doggie friend? How exciting? Maybe Aimee will decide to keep the marshmallow after all.

Though I do like that Jamie is a larger part of this mystery than before, it was a little bit of an awkward start. The fact that Jamie was the one who initiated the search and no one taking it seriously made it a slow start.
Like I said before, I enjoyed seeing Jamie in the book again. It was an integral part at the beginning. He is normally in the background, so it was nice to see him brought forward and used in a book for once.

Looks like Amy's boyfriend, Jamie, finally has his mobile dog grooming unit ready for its big debut. Everyone is happy for him. Unfortunately he runs into a little mystery of his own and before long everyone is looking for a killer. This is an interesting story with several typos, but I was able to skip over them. I highly look forward to reading more books about Heather and the gang.
