The Dog Sitter Detective

A fun and funny cosy crime novel where four legs are better than two as dog sitter Gwinny Tuffel becomes embroiled in the first of a barking-mad, canine-themed murder mystery series. A light-hearted tale from award-winning English author Antony Johnston (b.1972). Retired (or maybe just resting?) actress Gwinny Tuffel has inherited her late father’s rambling house but no financial means of running it. Scrimping and saving, Gwinny is delighted to be invited to her friend Tina’s upmarket, country house wedding for a taste of the high life. But when the moment comes, the Italian business magnate-groom is discovered dead in the library and Gwinny’s friend is accused of his murder. Convinced of Tina’s innocence, Gwinny sets her powers to sleuthing… With a guest list of larger-then-life characters and some people hiding pasts as crooked as a dog’s hind leg, Gwinny is soon on the trail of the killer as an amateur bloodhound. All the while accompanied by Tina’s pampered pedigree salukis, which Gwinny must care for while she digs for the truth.
