The simple act of buying a vehicle turns into a dog's breakfast...
The local dealership owner has died from an alleged heart attack... but Naomi's nose for trouble has her convinced that something stinks.
The circumstances surrounding his passing certainly are suspicious. Between alienating his daughter with his attempts at controlling her, and his attempts to strong arm an unpopular outlet mall project through for city ordinance approval which could leave some citizens of Harmony Grove at risk losing their homes, there is more than one person in town who'd benefit from his demise.
When law enforcement writes the death off as a natural cause, it's up to Naomi to untangle the knotty issue... without ending up as the next victim
The fourth book in the southern, small town Naomi & Winston Mystery series, Been There, Bone That contains no adult situations or gore, only fun and high jinks as the heroine solves mysteries and chases behind her perpetually confused, endearingly curious, and continuously chatty Chihuahua. This story has a light paranormal element.

After choosing her truck, she and Jolene bring paperwork to the dealership, and they find his body. The Chief says initial determination is heart attack, however, Winston gives Naomi reason to think there is more going on. Considering he was was involved in pushing through an unpopular real estate deal, Naomi and Winston begin to investigate. Been There, Bone That has twists, humor, and interesting characters, especially the heroic Winston.

Different story, same praise! What can I say about the fourth part of this great series? That the story is good, the characters are interesting etc. Been there, done that. But reading it, is another story altogether. I might not be able to write a more original review, but the story is quite original. The same characters, but their life continues and the mystery is different from the first 3. So, Maddie Sutton does it again! She wrote another great mystery that is fun to read! Can't wait to read part 5 and 6 and..... I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I can’t get enough of this series! Winston is a hilarious chihuahua and I love that he still calls everyone Mary! Naomi and Jolene are amazing characters and I love their friendship. Miss LaLa is a hoot! Love that Grandma and I want to be her! This was a great mystery. I was all over with who did it. Really great read!
