Melanie Travis has just started a new job, and with the added excitement of showing every clue she uncovers leads her one step closer to a murderer who is desperate enough to kill again… But Melanie is about to learn that being a Watchdog can sometimes be dangerous especially when It’s autumn in Connecticut. Drawing on her connections in the dog world, Melanie is soon successfully unmuzzling the dead man’s nearest and dearest, including a bitter ex wife, a spurned mistress, and an ambitious second in command. Always the family Watchdog, and faced with Frank’s imminent arrest, Melanie has no choice but to take on the investigation. Worse, wealthy Marcus Rattigan, who’s bankrolling the project, is found murdered on the premises, and the police think Frank did it. His current brainstorm remaking an old store in stylish suburban Fairfield County into a trendy coffee bar already has the neighbours snarling.
