Playing Dead by Peggy Rothschild

5.0

(free review copy) I adored the first Molly Madison book [b:A Deadly Bone to Pick|58608368|A Deadly Bone to Pick|Peggy Rothschild|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1626971492l/58608368._SX50_.jpg|91027933] but I loved this one even more! Rothschild manages to write about dogs as only a true dog lover can, but without anthropomorphizing them or having them be the narrators. This isn't a cutesy cozy, but it's also not a procedural or thriller - there is a wonderful Kinsey Milhone vibe in Molly Madison and the beach location is dreamy to read about. If you like light mysteries and dogs, this is definitely the series for you!
