Publisher's summary

Opening the Cozy Corgi in Estes Park is a dream come true: small-town charm, fresh-baked bread, hours by the fire reading mysteries, and...murder.

For Winifred Page and her devoted corgi, Watson, the puzzle pieces of life are falling into place as they settle into their home in the Colorado mountains. Surrounded by family and friends, Fred begins to relax into the charm and beauty of being the owner of a bookshop and bakery.

The buzz of possible romance - though Fred wasn't looking for a relationship - has quieted as one of her suitors is no longer a viable option while the other has moved into the friend zone. But all thoughts of romance, wanted or not, fly out the window when Fred finds a dead body in the Cozy Corgi bakery...again.

Things get stickier when Fred's main suspect turns out to be a family member of one of the local police officers - the one who already despises Fred and her little dog. Determined not to let past grievances cloud her judgment, Fred tips her detective hat and pokes deeper into the murder investigation. But in a mystery that becomes smoke and mirrors, nothing is as it seems.

The revelations Fred unveils threaten not only her picture-perfect world but her very life....

Savage Sourdough

I loved hearing more about Fred and Watson. This series has been so wonderful so far and it is even more exciting when it's Katie that is the object of the killers obsession. I loved how relaxing and exciting it was listening to Angie narrating. This little world of snow and picturesque mountain town is so great to fall into and to enjoy the solving of a mystery. I really love this series and I can't wait to listen to more.

Fun thrilling Mystery

This story isn’t no Sherlock Holmes, but it’s a good today Nancy Drew. It has so much to love about it. I hope there is yet more to this series, because the girl hasn’t got the boy yet.

Good beach read

Entertaining storyline while being uncomplicated enough for a mystery buffs to glide through without anxiety.

Corgi ahead

Having had 14 years with my own corgi, I SO appreciate ALL of the similarities between Watson and my Sammy. That’s the hook for me.
However, I enjoy the narrator as well as the stories from this author. It kept my interest, gave me some chuckles, some suspenseful moments - and I had NO idea as to the culprit.

Love the story. Narrator is amateur.

These books always have a bakery or a bookshop and a single, white, moderate woman whose money is inexplicable (at least her dim-witted privilege is called out in this book, and she’s relatively likable. This is a fun yarn with the addition of a corgi! The dog is why I downloaded. The actress, however, really needs to stop trying to “do voices.” They’re sounding stilted and jarring. When she’s the protagonist , she sounds good. She over-compensates when she does different characters and it can get slightly irritating. I’m going to listen to the next one (because of the corgi,) but if she doesn’t improve, I may not continue.
