  Teaser from 21% in the eBook.

She puts a leash on Paco. “Say goodby to Lucy, Paco.”

“Are you sure he’ll be okay? I mean, he’s been traumatized. He was with Abby when she… you know, died.  Is there a pet psychologist that can come see him? If he needs anything, anything at all, just let me know.” He looks at me with the saddest eyes. I hope he doesn’t think I don’t want him….. I can tell he’s special.

This was a sweet scene. Paco, the chihuahua, is staying at the shelter until they can find his real owner. Lucy doesn’t think she can keep him as she is allergic to dogs but she feels bad about leaving him there.

Synopsis

A fun, quirky chick-lit mystery starring Lucy McGuffin, world’s best muffin maker and amateur sleuth.

Everyone agrees that Lucy McGuffin bakes the muffins in Whispering Bay, but she’s got another talent, one that she’s tried her whole life to hide. Lucy can always tell when a person is lying or telling the truth. Being a human lie detector isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Especially when you really don’t want the answer to the universal question, “Does this dress make my butt look too big?”

When Lucy is hired to cater the grand opening celebration of the city’s new community center, she stumbles across the dead body of Abby Delgado, a prominent member of the Sunshine Ghost Society. Lucy’s brother, Father Sebastian, a local priest, is the last person to have seen Abby alive. Convinced he’ll be breaking a confidence, Sebastian refuses to cooperate with the police, forcing Lucy to put her skills to the test to save her brother’s good name.

Enter the town’s new hotshot deputy, Travis Fontaine. Travis doesn’t want an amateur like Lucy snooping around his turf, so he offers her a deal. He’ll stay out of her kitchen if she stays away from his crime scenes. But Lucy isn’t about to let her brother’s fate rest in the hands of an arrogant cop.

Good thing she has her best friend, Will, and her new rescue dog, Paco, to back her up, because it’s up to Lucy to figure out what everyone in the quaint little beachside town is hiding

    Omg Laura I can’t even stand the idea of the puppy at a shelter!!!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I know. But it was almost like a doggy day care center. Spoil the pups and find them the best homes:) I had a feeling that dog wouldn’t be there long:) He was already part of the story.

  2. Oh, what a sad parting scene. Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “NEVER TELL”
