The Marcia Banks and Buddy Cozy Mysteries

Training service dogs shouldn't be dangerous...should it?

Marcia Banks has an unusual first name (pronounced Mar-see-a, not Marsha) and an unusual vocation—she trains service dogs for combat veterans with PTSD. And when the disabled 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 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.)
