A BONE TO PICK: A CANINE CREW COZY MYSTERY (BOOK #1) is the first book in a new cozy mystery series by Fiona Grace, #1 bestselling author of Murder in the Manor, which has over 10,000 five star reviews!

When Evie, Margo, and Grace—three best friends in their 50s—find their nests empty and time on their hands, they start up the Canine Crew, a neighborhood dog-walking service. But none of them ever expected to have to solve a doggone murder….

It's walkies into the dark side for Evie and her pals as their peaceful pet parade turns perilous with the murder of a charming mailman. A lost dog collar might be the key to unleashing the truth—but can these spirited sidekicks fetch justice before suspicion buries them alive?

Take a paws-first dive into the beguiling world of the Canine Crew, where escapades are laced with wag-worthy wit and delightful idiosyncrasies. Em-bark on a journey that fetches a perfect mix of chuckles, warm fuzzy feelings, and tail-wagging surprises. Get ready to befriend a trio of fetching heroines who are bound to collar your affection and have you howling for more until the break of dawn.

Future books in the series are also available!

I enjoyed this story although the digitised voice can be irritating but I was able to not pay too much attention to it. Story kept me interested

The narration was awful. Pretty sure it was AI. Couldn’t really rate the book content because of the narration.

Loved this book and it was a great read for a freebie

The "narrator" read the words like anyone might read out loud. Mistakes, mispronunciation, incorrect inflections and badly timed pauses. The story is ok, if not plausible. I like the dogs. I was half way through before I knew the end.

Profile Avatar Debbie POTTER Oct 2025

what a cheerful well written cozy mystery. moves along at a good pace and easy to listen to. synthetic voice reader "scarlett" does let it down through mispronunciation and inability to read words in context and emotionless narration.

I really enjoyed the story but I didn’t like the narrator-too robotic.
