Today's First Chapter Review comes to you from Partners in Crime Tours, who is hosting Cindy Goyette and Dashing Through the Snow, the second book in her Wiggle Butt Manor mystery series.
BLURB: Murder is under the mistletoe in the peaceful island community of Orca Cove. Holiday plans are put on hold to give attention to the grand opening of the Wiggle Butt Manor Agility Course. Special guest Bentley is supposed to dazzle on the stage, but the locals have had enough of his snooty trainer, Miles Collins. So has his killer. When Charlie Calderbank finds Miles’ body in the back of her moving van, it becomes the season of giving…alibis, that is. Her hopes for a Christmas romance are dashed when the local hot cop is forced to pay more attention to the clues leading to her door than the chemistry that simmers between them.
Tainted treats, a widow who raises a toast along with a few eyebrows, a groomer with a grudge, an angry Santa Claus, a nosy reporter, and a canine custody hearing have Charlie spinning in every direction, juggling clues, dogs, and blizzards. She must identify the killer, or she’ll spend her Christmas behind bars.
COVER: Such a cute cover with the two dogs and the winter scene with the small town covered in snow.
FIRST CHAPTER: It is the opening day of the Wiggle Butt Manor Agility Course and festival featuring all kinds of fun things. Charlie is glad to be back in Orca Cove for good, but she needs to find a place to live, and there is that odd maybe yes, maybe no thing going on with Nick. When Bentley and his annoying owner arrive, there is sure to be trouble.
KEEP READING: That is affirmative! What a cute story. I'm not always drawn to mysteries featuring animals. Here, they blend right into the storyline nicely. Told from Charlie's first-person point of view, you get a glimpse into what she is dealing with and a hint of romance with Nick. It is plain to see that Bentley's owner is going to stir things up. I look forward to reading more.
