A Good Dog's Guide to Murder by Krista Davis follows Holly as she tries to maintain her inn while the holiday season starts in Wagtail, Virginia. When a dead man is found inside the trunk of a dead tree and then people start getting poisoned, Holly must figure out what is going on before she becomes a victim herself. Not only that, but her mother is in town and it turns out that she needs a house and likes to solve murders too. 

This book was really fun! I thought the mystery was tough enough to be really enjoyable and I liked the addition of Holly's mom to the cast. I did think that the write ups as Trixie, the dog, were a little cheesy but other than that it was a pleasant cozy mystery to enjoy for a relaxing read. I do think that you need to have read at least some of the series to not feel lost, but I would recommend it to anyone who likes cozy mysteries.
