A dog and his girl show how six legs are better than two in this brand new mystery series!
When Dodge, a German shepherd police dog, finds himself retired after an accident leaves him deaf in one ear, he's lucky to be adopted by the perfect family. Twelve-year-old Cassie Sullivan, his girl, smells almost as good as a dog, and gets her nose for sleuthing from her police chief mom and coroner dad. Cassie is smart and quick on her feet, and doesn't mind breaking a couple rules to get to the bottom of a mystery. Dodge has forty-two dog years of experience solving crime, as well as a great network of other four-legged colleagues when he needs more intel.
When Verdel Ward, the richest man in town, goes missing, it seems like everyone from the mayor to the housekeeper wants his fortune, which he's left behind with no will. But Cassie and Dodge can smell a mystery from a mile away, and can't help wondering why a miser would go swimming in a dangerous cove, what's up with the suspicious fiancee, who's been sneaking around the mansion, and where a twin brother has come from.

When local tycoon Verdel Ward mysteriously drowns and his body disappears, suddenly people far and wide want a piece of Ward’s coastal estate. Spunky 12-year-old Cassie, the police chief’s daughter, and Dodge, a German shepherd formerly on the K-9 squad, just want answers. As the duo goes undercover to solve the mystery, alternating chapters tell the story from both the girl’s and the dog’s perspectives. While Cassie must contend with the school bully and sneaking past the chief of police (aka Mom), Dodge observes his family’s dynamics and rounds up his neighborhood pooch pals to help him dig up clues. Perilous encounters with suspects and criminals and hints of Dodge’s former life as a working dog provide the right amount of suspense to this easy-to-solve mystery. Cassie’s after-school job at an animal shelter, working with an abused dog, emphasizes the powerful relationship between humans and their pets. Dog lovers will no doubt enjoy this first book in the A Dog and His Girl Mysteries series. Grades 3-5. --Angela Leeper
