Have you gotten a copy of FINDER! yet? It's a
humorous mystery, one of my favorite books and...there's a dog in the story!
“I
need a good idea on how to kill someone,” Carol Reston said.
David stood panting inside
the front door, his face the color of slate. She could smell his acrid sweat
clear across the room. Chauncy crouched at his side huffing and drooling, his
large pink tongue lolling out the side of his mouth.
Terror shot through
Carol. She knew that rattlesnakes were active in the brown hills around their
house. One bite could kill Chauncy. And at forty-two, David was entering heart
attack country. “David, honey, are you all right?”
His head bobbed up and
down and he struggled for breath.
“A body. In the hills.
Woman. Dead.”
“Yeah, that’s pretty
good. I can work with that. Okay, you win.”
“This isn’t about your
book, Carol! It’s real!” He bent over, resting his hands on his knees, sucking
in air, trying to catch his breath.
“9-1-1. Call 9-1-1. I
found a woman’s body up in the hills.” A glaze of moisture filled his eyes.
“She didn’t have a face, Carol. The woman didn’t have a face.”
All
her life, Carol Reston has wanted to be a published author. When her husband
finds a dead body in the neighborhood, and Carol discovers several women have
gone missing in town, she finally has something to write about. With the help
of her thrice-divorced, martini-drinking, Jaguar-driving, world-traveling Aunt
Sissy Montgomery, Carol locates all the women and discovers the identity of the
body. In the end, Carol has a book contract, Chauncy has a new playmate, David
has his dream job and Sissy has found a new calling. She’s a Finder.
