Publisher's summary

Making rounds to homes one wet spring morning, veterinarian Dr. Kate Turner rescues a family's hamster from a vacuum cleaner then visits an estate whose owners breed champion Cavalier King Charles spaniels. Instead of sharing traditional tea with the couple, she confronts a bloody scene of bodies and 27 blue-ribbon dogs running wild. Police initially suspect a murder-suicide, but when Dr. Kate proves the famous best-in-show champion is missing, a darker reality intrudes. She remembers her grandfather saying that there are two motives for murder: love and money.

While treating local pets, Dr. Kate discovers suspects and motives everywhere in this charming town filled with people who wanted the couple dead. Was the couple murdered for the money their champion could bring to another breeder? How is their daughter, anxious to rid herself of the pampered dogs, handling the wealth she inherits? Would the celebrity filmmaker living nearby kill to end a multimillion-dollar lawsuit? Did long-buried personal secrets cause the deaths? And what's going on at the office behind her back? Is Dr. Kate in danger?

First-time mystery writer Eileen Brady's characters, style, and storytelling bring authenticity and atmosphere in this new "pet noir" series.

Could've used some background help

I had a hard time with this book. The level of esoteric detail provided--both veterinary and dog show--should've meant either the author had the background, or access to it. Instead it has glaring problems with simple foundational details. If you're just looking for a cozy mystery and do not have a background in either veterinary medicine, dog showing, or both you may enjoy this. If you do, you will find yourself gritting your teeth or cringing way too often to suspend disbelief and enjoy.

Easy Listen

I usually listen on my way to and from work so I don't want anything too heavy. This just enough to keep me interested without loosing where I'm at in the story. Fun listen

Nice, easy listen

Cute story, not too heavy or bloody. Nice little twist, but again, nothing to complicated or hard to follow. I enjoyed it and will check out some more. Narrator was very good and believable as well.

Loved it!!!!

I was looking for a murder-mystery and just finished Dust by Patricia Cornwell. All the mysteries suggested to me seemed to pale in comparison to that book until I came across Muzzled! It completely different.
It has an interesting plot but doesn't take itself seriously. You really feel for our protagonist, and as an animal lover, I loved the descriptions of her interactions with her clients just as much as I loved the murder- mystery aspect.
This was a fantastic surprise and I have already downloaded her second book to listen too. The narration was also great. A must for any animal lover who also loves a good mystery!
