Rapid Rodent Response: A Cozy Animal Mystery (Ruff McPaw Mysteries Book 2)

About Rapid Rodent Response: A Cozy Animal Mystery (Ruff McPaw Mysteries Book 2)

A squeaky-clean murder, a little furry witness…

For such a small town, Hummings Hollow is rife with danger and intrigue—especially for forty-year-old Angela Atkinson who despite her busy schedule can’t seem to keep her nose out of a good mystery; it doesn’t help that her faithful sidekick Ruff McPaw has an equally good nose for danger.

When a middle school janitor is found dead in a school supply closet, Angela must juggle her hobby farm, barista job, and well-meaning community of friends and family as she seeks out answers. When a classroom pet turns up with what might be the key to solving the whole case, Angela feels that the killer is close at hand—but there’s more to this clue than meets the eye.

From a Parent Teacher Association (PTA) that seems more like a high school clique than anything else to possible motives that feel shaky at best, Angela and Ruff have plenty to investigate before the middle school’s Valentine’s Day dance marks the murderer’s final escape from the swift paw of justice…

Rapid Rodent Response is the second book in the Ruff McPaw Mysteries series. If you adore intriguing cozy mysteries with beautiful small towns and a really adorable dog, then you won’t want to miss out on Angela and Ruff’s fun and unforgettable cases.
