Welcome to Litsy!

Frolicking with dogs is Melanie Travis�s idea of heaven. So when she�s invited to be a �puppy wrangler� at a benefit for a local dog rescue, the last thing she expects is to be chasing after a tricky killer... As a busy mom and pedigree Poodle owner, Melanie has little time to spare. Still, she doesn�t mind helping out at Puppy Fest, an annual fundraiser to benefit Puppy Posse, a local dog rescue organization. Considering the venue�Belle Haven mansion, owned by wealthy philanthropist Leo Brody�it�s shaping up to be the can�t-miss charity event of the summer. Unfortunately, when Melanie�s breeding background lands her in the doghouse with Jane, Leo�s snappy daughter who runs the rescue, Melanie finds herself simultaneously managing Puppy Fest and the millionaire�s hopelessly fractious family. But once Puppy Fest kicks off, Leo is nowhere to be found�until Melanie discovers his current mistress crouching over his dead body. According to police, the father of nine�s severe nut allergy went into overdrive after he accidentally consumed a contaminated cookie. However, Libby, one of Leo�s children and a friend of Melanie�s Aunt Peg, believes someone deliberately put him down for good. And now, she�s begging a reluctant Melanie to unearth the secrets hidden by the Brody pack. But the closer Melanie gets to fetching answers, the higher the stakes become�and the more she realizes that she�s chasing a criminal who�s been groomed to win...
