A baker opens up a new pastry shop exclusively for pets—but has to do a sleuthing job on the side when a chef turns up dead . . .



The dog days of summer have arrived in the small town of Frog Ledge, Connecticut, and business is booming for Kristan 'Stan' Connor. Her Pawsitively Organic pet food has even caught the attention of celebrity pastry chef Sheldon Allyn, who helps Stan open a fancy pet pastry shop in Frog Ledge. A partnership is born, and Sheldon invites Stan to Newport, Rhode Island, for an appreciation weekend he's hosting for all his independent chefs. But the gourmet getaway turns sour when one of the chefs turns up dead, and a second one goes missing . . .



As Stan tries to figure out who had a recipe for murder, the pool of suspects expands. And if she can't sniff out the culprit soon, this killer may just serve up a second helping of murder . . .
