About this listen
Will this mystery game be murder?
Peaceful Dreams B&B is hosting a murder mystery game to celebrate its grand opening. Local sleuth Clarissa Hayes and her loyal Saint Bernard, Paw, have joined in the entertainment.
All is fun and games until one of the guests is found dead at the bottom of the basement stairs. Was it an accident? Or murder? Did the victim share a secret past with one of the guests or the B&B owners?
It's up to Clarissa and Paw to trail the clues to find out the truth. Along the way they're joined by a bevy of friends, both human and animal, including a black cat who is embroiled in a mystery of his own.
Will peaceful dreams reign or will the killer unleash nightmares for all?
This is the second novel in A Dog Detective Series. Mastiffs, Mystery, and Murder was the first novel.

Story
After suffering a personal tragedy Abby Sullivan buys a huge old seaside mansion she has never even seen, packs up her life in San Francisco, and moves to Holiday Bay Maine, where she is adopted, quite against her will, by a huge Maine Coon Cat named Rufus, a drifter with her own tragic past named Georgia, and a giant dog with an inferiority complex named Ramos. What Abby thought she needed was alone time to heal. What she ended up with was, an inn she never knew she wanted, a cat she couldn't seem to convince to leave, and a new family she'd never be able to live without.

Flora finds out he was staying at the Priory Hotel, and when the gardener suddenly dies in its beautiful grounds only a few days later, she is certain that something untoward is happening in her quiet village by the sea.

A Really Enjoyable Cozy Mystery Series

This is the second book in a series - A Dog Detective Series. I have not read the first book in this series. This is a stand alone story -- although there are some references to events which occurred in the first book in the series -- there is nothing that ditracted from fully understanding the characters or the storyline in the second book without having read the first book.
I am a sucker for cozy mysteries with animals -- especially animals who get involved in the mystery and are protective of their caregivers. There is a murder mystery weekend planned at the local Bed & Breakfast but before the game can begin, an actual murder occurs. Clarissa was supposed to help with the game and since she has some experience in solving crime, she is called to the scene. This is a cute story -- with animals running everywhere while Clarissa and her crew - both animal and human - try to solve the murder. It's a light quick read with a bit of animal mayhem thrown in for fun.
The narrator, Nancy Bober, did a great job - both voicing the humans and the animals.

The Bed and Breakfast hosts a mock murder mystery weekend that gets real.
The owners and friends have a number of rescued pets, but none of the guests brought any this time. A human finds the first victim, a dog finds the first clue, a cat finds an expensive bracelet that seems unrelated to the murder. And then things really get twisty!
An excellent cozy with delightful characters. And the people are interesting, too!
Nancy Bober gives an excellent interpretative narration.
