Description

When author Elizabeth “Lizzy” Hornwhistle chooses a simple life in South Dakota, away from sudden fame and the paparazzi, she faces a long and frigid winter but none of the peace and quiet she’d imagined.

The citizens of her new home, Harperstown, don’t let the weather get in their way, and soon Lizzy is busy with an obnoxious next-door neighbor, a mystery maze to plan, two pet houseguests—and a poisoner on the loose.

Luckily, Lizzy’s miniature guard dach Mavis and her best friend Holly have her back as she tries to unravel clues to the killer’s identity before they can strike again.

Advance Praise

"A quaint and charming mystery pulled from Alice Kanaka's inimitable creativity and love of dogs, Gallant Guard-dach is a breezy and original whodunit. Accessible, entertaining, and comforting, even with the murderous drama, the suspenseful storyline is well-plotted and the characters are well-drawn, for a delightful cozy mystery."
