"Pups in Peril" - (Book 6 in the Sweet Southern Sleuths Short Stories)

----------------------------------------
After returning from their harrowing trip to Las Vegas, the Sweet twins, Loretta and Lacy, along with Uncle Ichabod, are excited to celebrate Thanksgiving, but the celebration turns to sadness when they discover that their "adopted" Chihuahua, Barkley, has gone missing.

The trio, along with Barkley's owner, Savannah Dogwood, set out to find their beloved pup and soon discover that several other small pedigree dogs have disappeared from Misery and the nearby town of Glimmer.

Are the missing pets an eerie coincidence...or has someone targeted the furry friends for something much more sinister?

    Loretta, Lucy and Uncle Ichabod are back home from their trip to Las Vegas. Savannah, a friend and neighbor has bad news. Her dog Barkley is disappeared and there are several other small purebred dogs missing in the area as well. The friends decide to investigate the mystery of the missing dogs.

    This is a very good written cozy mystery with a great flow and well told. I think it is one of the best in the series so far.

    Pups in Peril is another cosy mystery by Hope Callaghan. I love how much charm this series has. The characters are well fleshed out and have personalities you can feel. I always feel like I'm embracing a take about friends with these books. This story is fun and worth the read.
