A new job, a new friend, and a newly adopted golden retriever. Then there's the dead body in her new office.

That fragile hope is shaken when Libby discovers the lifeless body of her predecessor in her office at the museum. As suspicion ripples through the close-knit town, Libby is stunned when the police set their sights on one of her co-workers.If she wants to clear her colleague's name -- and hold on to her job -- Libby will have to do some sleuthing of her own.

With the help of her lovable dog and some newfound friends, she follows the clues from the museum across the heart of Dogwood Springs. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more danger she stirs up.

Perfect for readers who love cozy mysteries with small-town secrets, found family, an amateur sleuth with a day job, a gentle hint of romance, and a dog with a heart of gold.
