The Dogwalkers' Detective Agency

PAWS FOR THOUGHT…THERE’S MURDER AFOOT IN FRAMSTONE

Cosy crime, wagging tails and one mystery too deadly to ignore. This debut novel by Michael Hogan offers a delightful twist on the genre, blending humour, heart, and a compelling whodunnit.

When Charlie Boardman and his Staffy, Ruby, discover a dead body in the woods, the tranquil coastal town of Framstone is thrown into turmoil. The local pub landlord has been murdered, and Charlie and his fellow dogwalkers decide to assist the police by sniffing out clues.

What begins as local gossip soon turns sinister when Charlie receives anonymous threats, warning him to abandon the investigation. The stakes are raised even higher when a second body washes ashore. Can Charlie unmask the killer before he becomes the next victim?
