“I found myself at the beach on a beautiful balmy night, standing next to a hot guy, while I was holding a cute dog. Sounds like a great evening, doesn’t it? Think about it — a beach, a Bichon Frise, and a handsome man at my side — but unfortunately, there was also a dead body.” Jessica Tanner the owner of a luxury dog grooming salon in a posh seaside town is woken in the middle of the night to help the police. There’s a dog on the beach with her high-end grooming salon’s logo on its collar. The dog is safe and well. The man who the dog was sitting next to, on the other hand, is dead. The police don’t know who the dead person is and they hope that if Jessica identifies the dog, they’ll get some answers. Murders don’t happen in pristine San Gabriel. This playground for the very rich, located on Florida’s Treasure Coast, is supposed to be idyllic. Worse yet, it seems the murder could threaten Jessica – both her livelihood and her life are in jeopardy. Jessica Tanner, a reluctant amateur sleuth, is determined to find the answers before she loses everything she’s worked so hard for. Of course, she’s doing so while grooming dogs, attending to eccentric pet parents, and dancing in a local charity dance competition. If you love dogs, a touch of romance, quirky characters, and a feisty female sleuth, you’ll want to unravel this cozy mystery along with Jessica. A Beach, A Bichon Frise, and A Body will keep you guessing until the killer is finally revealed.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, Brad Howard, her blind date, was fighting for his life and Kelly is apparently the only one who can save him.
