Whiskey and Water (The Whiskey Mattimoe Mysteries)

Coming right up - a fourth rollicking round of Whiskey Mattimoe! Summer brings some new and familiar faces to her quirky Michigan town. There's MacArthur, the hunky Scotsman whose Glasgow real estate experience could make him an excellent agent at Whiskey's office; self-help author and karma expert Fenton Flagg, who's got Whiskey''s libido boiling over; and her ex-husband Jeb Halloran, who can still send chills down Whiskey's spine, when he's not crooning pet lullabies. But steamy romance is impossible amid the shrill cries of Velcro, Whiskey's new teacup-sized shitzapoo pup.

Inexplicable sightings of Gill Gruen, the former mayor who drowned last winter, have the town on edge. But the doggy poop really hits the fan when Whiskey's felonious Afghan hound discovers a murder scene on the shore of Lake Michigan. If it wasn''t the riptide that killed Twyla Rendel, Whiskey's high-risk tenant, who did?
