Book Spotlight | July 2024
I am going to start sharing books I enjoyed that are dog related. Whether it be a fiction book that features a dog, or a non-fiction book about dog care/life/etc. I am going to call this “Book Spotlight.” I am hoping to do this feature once a month. This month’s Book Spotlight is the Molly Madison series by Peggy Rothschild.
Summary: When Molly Madison, dog-wrangler extraordinaire, stumbles upon a murder in her new hometown, she must track down a killer to save the day.
Ex-police officer and former P.I. Molly Madison is starting over. After the death of her husband, she and her golden retriever, Harlow, move cross-country to California. But as charming and peaceful as the beachside town seems, she soon learns its tranquil tides hold dark secrets.
On her first day in the new house, a large, slobbering Saint Berdoodle wanders in. Molly winds up taking on the responsibility of training Noodle since his owner is too busy to do the job. On one of their daily beachside walks, Noodle digs up a severed hand. Once Molly alerts the police and they run a background check on her, an incident from her past makes her an immediate suspect—after all, Noodle’s testimony to clear her name won’t hold much water in court.
To prove her innocence, Molly must rely on instincts keener than a canine’s to sniff out the real killer. But when Molly’s life is put in danger, will her two very loyal pups be able to rescue her?
My Thoughts: This series is fun! If you are a dog lover and mystery lover, I think you will enjoy these books. There is a little romance thrown in. Each book has a new death/mystery to solve. Molly finds herself in the middle of these deaths in more ways than one! Especially with her dogs to help! Along with a detective and Molly’s neighbor, can they solve these crimes?!
I love how much these books include the dogs. Not just with the solving of the mysteries, but also in Molly’s day to day life. In addition to being a PI, Molly also trains dogs. So, there are a lot of dogs in these books!
Currently there are three books in the series. Check them out:
