Publisher Description
Co-author of the best-selling Mrs. Murphy novels, Rita Mae Brown launches a new series with this first mystery featuring Baxter the wirehaired dachshund. When Baxter and his owner Mags leave New York for Nevada, they find themselves embroiled in a real head scratcher. First, the local water-pumping station is sabotaged. Then, a murdered man's bones-dating back to the 1800s-are unearthed in a barn owned by Mags' great-aunt. As Mags attempts to put the pieces together, Baxter readies himself to protect her at all costs.

“This series promises to be a little edgier than the Sneaky Pie tales, but cozy fans won’t be disappointed. Mystery, a budding romance, and clever pets who save the day—what’s not to love?”

" I liked this, think of Mrs Murphy if she was a dachshund out west "
— Charles, 5/13/2011 -
" An ok start to a series but RMB is getting so preachy. I read fiction for enjoyment, not sermons. "
— Cheekey, 4/9/2011 -
" If you've read other books of this sort by Brown, you'll know exactly what to expect. This was never intended to become a classic, but Ms. Brown could spend about 5 extra minutes making her adult characters a bit more adult. "
— Lynne, 3/11/2011 -
" Pedestrian mystery-commentary by two dogs, cute asides. Extraneous historical mystery. Political/environmental diatribe. If you didn't know the author's political leaning's by chapter 3, you just weren't paying attention. All in all, not her best. "
— Christa, 3/3/2011 -
