Life is supposed to be back to normal for Jennifer Brooks, Mental Health Administrator, breeder and exhibitor of Cardigan Welsh Corgis. Her romance is blossoming as is the show career of her champion stud dog and devoted companion Monty. Then a dog show judge is murdered and the detective, once an adversary, now a friend, asks for her help figuring out a motive.
Before long another judge is found murdered, and suddenly it’s important to figure out just who is killing off dog show judges, and why.
Through all this a fanatical widow keeps turning up like a bad penny with her disturbed child who can’t be trusted around the dogs.
Meanwhile, there’s dirty work afoot as Jen’s old nemesis Mona has been elevated to the national board as well as granted a license to judge. Mona tries to pull a fast one at a board meeting that almost erupts into a brawl.
Then another judge is murdered and Jen finds herself in danger. How will Monty get her out of trouble this time?
