Synopsis

Carrie Kennersly tries to help her veterinarian boyfriend when he’s under suspicion of murder…Is he a keeper, or should she let him go off-leash for good?

As a technician for a local vet and the owner of the Barkery & Biscuits dog bakery, Carrie Kennersly is excited to host a rescue animal adoption event. She’s also excited to be in a relationship with veterinarian Dr. Reed Storme, despite his pleas for her to butt out of the murder cases she keeps finding herself involved with. Yet when Reed is accused of killing his former veterinary colleague, he seems a lot more agreeable to having amateur detective Carrie butt back in. Can Carrie clear Reed, or does she care too much for a killer?

Includes recipes for dog treats and people treats!

Guest Post

Hi, everyone.  I’m Linda O. Johnston, and I’m delighted to be here as a guest poster on StoreyBook Reviews.

I’m currently on a Great Escapes Blog Tour to let people know about my latest book release: Pick and Chews, the fourth in my Barkery & Biscuits Mystery Series.  And yes, there will be a fifth.

So why am I on a blog tour?  Because it’s fun!  It’s a great way to let readers know about the publication of a new book since there are lots of blogs on the tour.  Plus, I get to communicate with some of those people… like you!

Some posts are reviews by people whose blogs are all about reviewing books–and those bloggers are skilled in reading and providing those reviews.

Others include spotlights on the books and the series that they’re in.  Still, others contain posts that I have written, either as myself or one of my characters.  And some are my responses to interview questions provided by the blog owner–again either as myself or one of my characters, including dogs.

And yes, in case you’re not familiar with me, I’m a dog nut.  I actually write in multiple genres, and all of my stories these days include dogs.

So what is Pick and Chews about?  My Barkery & Biscuits Mysteries center around a veterinary technician, Carrie Kennersly, who buys a friend’s bakery and turns half into a barkery, where she bakes and sell the healthy dog treats she developed.  She has a dog named, appropriately, Biscuit.  She gets to sell treats to owners of dogs as well as people treats for humans.  She also still works part-time as a vet tech.  And much to her chagrin at times, people keep getting murdered in her small town of Knobcone Heights, California–and because either she, or her friends, become major suspects, she winds up having to figure out who the real killer is.

In Pick and Chews, that suspect is Dr. Reed Storme, a veterinarian Carrie works with who’s also her love interest.  In the past, he’d told her not to get involved with sleuthing because it’s dangerous.  But in Pick and Chews, after seeing her success in solving the other cases, he doesn’t discourage her as long as she’s careful!

I hope you enjoy checking out my blog tour–and reading Pick and Chews!
