When a celebrity chef is found dead, who is the real victim?
It's only been a few months since Samantha Hodges put crime reporting behind her to write about the pets in her cozy hometown.
But crime keeps following her, or so it seems.
When Sam is paired up with the newspaper's food critic for a Halloween assignment, she doesn't expect they'll find a celebrity chef dead in his own pumpkin soup.
The uptight food critic is convinced the chef was murdered ? and Sam gets mixed up in an amateur murder investigation again.
Can Sam find the murderer in time ? or will the next body be hers?
Sam's sidekick, a greyhound named Pumpernickel, returns in this cute cozy series along with a new friend, a bichon frise!
Bichon Frise Near the Body is the 2nd book in the Pets Reporter cozy mystery series.
