Molly is living her best life in her California beach community, where she’s now got two dogs, Harlow, and Noodle. On her first visit to Playtime Academy, a dog agility and training center, Noodle, our drooling Saint Bernadoodle, discovers a deceased body of a woman. If that isn’t enough she gets information about her new boyfriend that doesn’t make her happy, picks up more dog wrangling jobs, a wriggly Frenchie named Sky, and a mystery that may be more than Molly’s ex-cop skills can handle. 
 
Think of Finlay Donovan with dogs. As the mystery unfolds so does the hilarity around having so many dogs under your care. Plus, the next-door neighbor JD, who is currently experiencing panic attacks. Molly takes pretty much every hurdle in stride (along with pizza and some wine), a boyfriend who isn’t what she expected, dogs with mysterious owners, and the lot that life throws at her and her friends in this second book. I love the way the author writes, and I’m ready for her next book.
