Synopsis

Training service dogs shouldn't be dangerous...should it?
Marcia Banks has an unusual name (pronounced Mar-see-a, not Marsha) and a rather abnormal vocation. She trains service dogs for military veterans with PTSD. And when the former Marine owner of her first trainee is accused of murdering his wife, she gets sucked into an even more abnormal avocation-amateur sleuth.

Called in to dog-sit Buddy, the Black Labrador service dog, Marcia is outraged that his veteran owner's neighbors are assuming he's guilty. With Buddy's help, she tries to uncover the real killer. Even after the hunky local sheriff politely tells her to butt out, Marcia keeps poking around. Until the killer finally pokes back...

(Note: no dogs die in this series; all the titles are take-offs from classic book, movie or song titles.)

About the Author

In her youth, Kassandra Lamb had two great passions-psychology and writing. Advised that writers need day jobs--and being partial to eating--she studied psychology. Her career as a psychotherapist and college professor taught her much about the dark side of human nature, but also much about resilience, perseverance, and the healing power of laughter. Now retired, she spends most of her time in an alternate universe populated by her fictional characters. The portal to this universe (aka her computer) is located in northern Florida where her husband and dog catch occasional glimpses of her.

She has written three series: The Kate Huntington Mysteries, The Kate on Vacation Mysteries, and the Marcia Banks and Buddy Cozy Mysteries. And she's now started a fourth series of police procedurals, The C.o.P. on the Scene Mysteries.
