Guest Sleuth Spotlight: Daisy Stone — Murder on the Morning Route
Series: The Dog Walking Detective Series (Book 1)
The Book: Six months ago, Megan traded corporate burnout for a simple life walking dogs in a picturesque seaside town. She knows everyone's routines, their secrets, and which dogs will do anything for treats.
What she didn't expect? To stumble upon the murdered body of controversial real estate developer Marcus Sterling near the historic lighthouse.
As the town's gossip reveals that nearly everyone had a motive, Megan's marketing background gives her an unexpected edge — she notices patterns others miss. But when someone starts leaving mysterious warnings along her walking routes, it becomes clear that asking questions in a small town can be dangerous.
With her loyal beagle-corgi Biscuit at her side and reluctant guidance from Detective Hayes, Megan must untangle decades of secrets before the killer strikes again.
“A dog walker, a murdered real estate developer, and a beagle-corgi named Biscuit — yes, really. Daisy Stone had my attention from page one. If you love a smart heroine who notices what everyone else misses, grab this one.”
