Lively Dog-Narrated Cozy Mystery with a Veterinarian Sleuth
When the owner of M and R Marina is killed in a yacht explosion on Blue Moon Island, sleuths Doc Sue MacVety and her dog, Daisy, pair their skills and instincts to investigate. Sue joins her admirer, Luke, to uncover the details of his brother-in-law's death. Was it murder or was it an accident?
Luke's relatives have fallen on hard times, and the marina is failing because it lacks inventory and buyers. How long does it take to recover from a setback when the boats are mortgaged, and the bank declines more loans? Will the marina go bankrupt?
Enter Jack Black, the drug runner with a shifty payment plan and a girlfriend, with a previous love from nearby Sweetwater Springs, whom he plans to marry. Her ex-boyfriend is still in love and wants to protect her from a big mistake. As it turns out, Jack Black has a few enemies.
This lively whodunit takes the captain and crew from Blue Moon Island to the Bahamas, followed by pirates, the DEA, and the FBI. Daisy the dog narrates the adventure with mindful canine instincts, dry humor, and keen observations, noticing things others miss, while Sue interprets the evidence with skill and intelligence.
After a series of adventures, the sleuths collect DNA evidence and, with the help of friends, solve the puzzle. Second-generation veterinarian Dr. Loretta is married to the foremost attorney in canines and crimes and has a stake in restoring justice. If you enjoy multi-generational whodunits, you are in for a treat with the veterinarian-written Blue Moon Island Series, with forever ties to the first series, set in Florida's nearby Sweetwater Springs.
