Mike, the sheriff of Beaver County, Oregon and his wife Kelly, the owner of Kelly's Koffee Shop, have just returned from a fly fishing trip to Cuba. On the drive home from the airport Mike gets a call informing him that the owner of Doggie Love Kennel, where they had boarded their dogs when they were in Cuba, has been murdered. To make matters worse, all of the dogs in the kennel, including Rebel and Lady, have been released and are running loose in the surrounding area. They immediately begin to search for their dogs as well as trying to determine who killed Mary Barnes.
They have plenty of suspects to choose from the druggie kennel employee; the owner of the award winning Yorkie that was impregnated while staying at the kennel; the disgruntled head of the Pit Bull Sanctuary who was instructed by the owner of the kennel to get his pit bulls off of the property within 24 hours; the impoverished woman whose property is next to the luxurious kennel and is jealous of the dogs being boarded there; the kennel manager; and her husband who has anger issues. Will Mike and Kelly find the killer before the killer comes after them? And what about the dog named Skyy? Is she cute enough to make Mike rethink his decision to only have two dogs? Can she worm her way into his heart?

Trouble at the Animal Shelter (Audible Audio Edition) Dianne Harman Erin deWard Books Reviews
Good series. The author has clearly defined the characters and is building off them, and I didn't figure out the ending. Good twists.
I will look for more from this author. Thank you Dianne Harman!
Kelly and Mike are onto a murder again! But this time there are over 30 dogs involved and the murder of a former teacher who is retired. But Kelly still gets herself involved in Mikes case and scares him to death!
This is a very good read and all those doggie kisses at the senior center does s heart good!
I loved that there were dogs all through this story. Bill the sheriffs of cedar bay is called to the scene of a murder and find that the house has 30 dogs inside with the deceased. The dogs are taken to the small animal shelter and Kelly the sheriff wife is helping out. There seems to be no reasons that a retired school teacher would get murdered but this book teaches you that there are all kinds of witnesses. Another great book from ms. Harman
I've always been a sucker for mysteries involving animals (but more cats than dogs). And the authoress allowed me to download her book onto my new for free, so how could I go wrong? I didn't. Cedar Bay is populated by friendly, caring people (for the most part). This is a charming and interesting story,; but I must admit to guessing wrong about the killer. I found a couple of errors. Hens lay eggs but people lie down and it is not like I said but as I said. Both mistakes are all too common. However, I do intend to read another of Dianne Harman's books.
While I was sad at the end of a woman I could almost picture being me one day, I lived her heart for the dogs, and the way the community rallied around them. Of course, being a cozy mystery, the bad guy got off easier than I would have liked, after all he had planned to murder the dogs too, it was a light little read that suited my mood. The recipes at the end were a nice surprise feeding my other hobby lol. I will be reading more Dianne Harman stories, I guarantee it!
A cozy mystery involving dogs--I really wanted to like this one. And the characters are likable, at least the ones who are supposed to be.
But.
The basic setup is pretty straightforward. Maggie Ryan taught school in Cedar Bay for many years, but retired a few years ago, and has since become a bit of a recluse. When the local police get a call about barking dogs, they arrive to find her house on fire, about thirty dogs there, and Maggie Ryan dead from a bullet hole in her head. Who killed her, why, and where did those thirty dogs come from?
I have two basic types of complaint about the book. The first is what is known in science fiction reading world is known as "As you know, Bob"; information the reader needs is conveyed by the characters telling each other things they both already know.
The other is the writer's failure to research or think about important facts involved in the subject matter of the mystery.
In this case, we have an animal shelter which is already near capacity, which is getting an unplanned influx of thirty dogs. Obviously, they need stuff donated, in quantity, quickly. Food. Vet services (they have no way of knowing if these dogs have had any vaccinations at all, for starters.) Beds.
Wait, what? Beds?
The shelter is already near capacity, and needs places to put thirty additional dogs. In these circumstances, dog beds are a "nice to have," but what's essential is dog crates. Otherwise, once their few remaining kennels have dogs in them, they have no place to put the other dogs. So they need crates, crates are never mentioned, and it's made really, really clear that when they say "beds," they mean the soft, often fluffy, things that go in the crates to make the dog more comfortable, and are not talking about crates. The thing is, if you have crates, you can use towels or blankets if you don't have proper dog beds, and if really desperate, a dog can use a crate with no bed for a while while you spread the word that you need more donations.
Then there's the fact that if there's any mention of scanning these dogs for microchips. This should be standard shelter procedure, especially given that it's a complete surprise to everyone that Maggie Ryan has even one dog, much less thirty. Where did they come from? And it's clear that we're supposed to consider the Cedar Bay animal shelter a good and responsible one, so why don't they scan for chips? Most likely because the writer failed to do research.
Then there's the dogs. A beautiful Akita. A beautiful German shepherd. A beautiful bulldog puppy, maybe twelve weeks old. We're given the impression most or all of the dogs are of easily recognizable breeds. There are purebred dogs in shelters, about 25% of the total. They are not usually beautiful examples of their breeds, and most dogs in shelters are various mixes.
There's also the awkward fact that at least one of those dogs is really suspiciously well-trained. It's almost unbelievable that that particular dog doesn't have microchip and a person looking for him. But still no mention.
A twelve-week-old bulldog puppy... But no. I will not give my bulldog rant. I will not give my bulldog rant. I WILL NOT give my bulldog rant...
I wanted to like this book. There's a good story in here, that touches on some interesting and important issues, and deals with those issues quite intelligently.
I'm frustrated more than disappointed.
Not recommended.
Elderly ex-school teacher Maggie Ryan was murdered in her home in a horrific way – but it was the thirty plus dogs which were found in her home which had the locals astounded. Temporarily housed at the Cedar Bay Animal Shelter, the call for donations and help was immediate. And the requests to foster the animals received swift responses.
Mike, sheriff of Beaver County, Oregon was on the job – but no one could work out why anyone would want a harmless old spinster dead. Unless it was because of the constant barking of the dogs…
Mike’s wife Kelly owned Kelly’s Koffee Shop and the reaction from townsfolk to the murder was to congregate at Kelly’s and search for information. Kelly and Mike already owned a dog, but decided to foster a cute bulldog puppy they called Max to help the Centre. But when Kelly saw Sanyu, the Akita guard dog, her brain began ticking over. Would she be able to help her husband find the murderer?
Trouble at the Animal Shelter by Dianne Harman was a light hearted and fun cosy mystery which I enjoyed. Filled with complex characters, nevertheless the best were the dogs! Highly recommended.
