Publisher's Summary

Carrie Kennersly, a veterinary technician, has become known for baking healthful and popular dog treats at the clinic where she works, in the town of Knobcone Heights, California. When a friend moves away, Carrie buys her bakery and converts half into a Barkery to sell her canine delights. Carrie even works things out for her beloved rescue dog Biscuit to hang out in the dog part of the enterprise.

But Myra and Harris Ethman, who own a local store selling pet products, hate the new competition - and they're members of one of the town's most elite families. After publicly badmouthing Carrie and antagonizing family and other townsfolk with her big mouth, Myra is found dead with a Barkery biscuit beside her. Now Carrie must prove she didn't consider the rivalry, nor Myra's nasty criticisms, a sufficient motive to commit murder - before she's collared for the crime.

Enjoyable

A very enjoyable story, storyline and good characters. Easy to listen to while I'm working. I'm excited to listen to the rest of the series.

Good story did not like the narration

The story was interesting but the narration was difficult to listen to, sometimes sounded computer generated.

Decent premise, bad story

The author somehow felt that she needed to explain everything. I lost count of how many times she said ‘my dog cookies are made with best ingredients. I am conscious of canine dietary needs.’ The whole novel sounded like someone trying to explain all her actions and hoping we don’t judge her. Sadly, if you are reading a novel bad writing and bad plotting are things you judge. And they are pretty bad.

Completely clueless protagonist

All I can do is shake my head at this one. The protagonist thinks it's a good to idea to 1. Taunt a family who've just lost a family to murder who think she's the killer, and 2. Try and advertise her business in that family's hotel. Seriously? After that I had to stop listening. If this wasn't free I would have returned it in a second.
