Two Pits and a Little Murder

Another fun, quick and fast paced adventure.

Another solid addition to the series. I love how these books are able to incorporate not only all the mystery and sleuthing, but that also so much character building when it comes to Lily and her family and loved ones. I feel like it such a well rounded series and each book feels full of action. Smooshie was adorable as always.

Pittie Rescue finds two pits tied up in a run-down home that is going on sale. They are underfed but still fairly people friendly. Who did it and are they in trouble? This group isn't going to stand by and let that happen.<br /><br />Great, a crime but no murder. Whewww. Oops! Too early with the relief. There is a murder to come. Parker and his friend who also suffers from PTSD are suspects. Lily can't let that happen. Once again she's going on investigation mode. Who really did it?<br /><br />Another story with all the good stuff this series always provides. Family and there are some surprises on the way. Friends who help with the investigation. Danger as always the bad guys are coming after the good ones and danger is a-foot. Dogs, great information for dog owners, as well as fun with the animals, and this time it is double to fun with four of them. A mystery to be solved. Will you guess who done it? Overall another good read from the series and author. ENJOY. I DID.<br /><br />

i love this series. another great read

A new book featuring Lily, Parker, and Smooshie? Yes, please!!! When Lily and Parker go to rescue a couple of endangered pitbull pups, they have no idea exactly what they're getting into...or what they'll find.<br />Danger, adventure, suspense, and puppy kisses await in this excellent cozy mystery book (and series). Highly recommend.<br /><br />I received a copy of this book from the author via Bookfunnel. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor.

Lily, Smooshie and the gang are back in another thoroughly entertaining adventure. This story had me at times angry, emotional, laughing out loud and sighing with delight. I love this series and was totally enchanted with this installment. I heartily recommend this series to anyone with a beating heart.

Two Pits and a Little Murder<br />Barkside of the Moon #6<br />Author: Renee George<br />Published 30th Dec 2020<br />Publisher: Barkside of the Moon Press<br /><br />“When cougar-shifter Lily Mason moves to Moonrise, Missouri, she wishes for only three things from the town and it’s human population: 1) to find a job, 2) to find a place to live, and 3) to live as a human, not a therianthrope.”<br />It’s been a while since she moved there, but she gets more than she bargains for when she is rescued by a gorgeous, wily pit-bull, Smooshie.<br />As well as finding love with rescue owner Parker, she reconnects with her uncle Daniel - aka Buzz - the only relative she has left alive. We’re on book six now, and whilst she’s madly in love with human Parker, helping him with the Pit rescue business, she’s formed a loving relationship with her uncle Buzz and his girlfriend Nadine, now her BFF and Reggie, the local medical examiner.<br />In this book, two maltreated pits - Lily names them Edward and Elinor after Pride and Prejudice - are found by Parker’s friend Darren, then rescued by Lily and Parker, but poor little Elinor is in bad shape and Lily needs to find out why. <br />As well as the ongoing family and friend drama, there’s a murder to investigate and the pits need rehoming.<br />Now, pit-bulls have an unwarranted reputation and get bad press. They can be adorable, loving and loyal, just like Smooshie. There’s a whole bunch of ‘em in the series and each doggie, massive or diminutive, has its own sparkling personality.<br />It’s clear Renee loves animals, a message central to these books, and it enables her to create unique characters with each doggie she introduces.<br />There’s plenty of romance with the hoomans, lots of humour - especially poop related jokes - and the mystery at the the heart of the book is resolved neatly.<br />It’s also great the way George weaves in issues with PTSD through Parker and Darren and the role of support animals.<br />These cozy paranormal crimes are vibrant, heart-warming and immense fun.

Lily Mason is a werecougar shifter. She and her human boyfriend, Parker, have a pit bull rescue center and are contacted by Darren Larson to rescue two pit bulls from an abandoned house. Parker and Darren had been part of the program that matched trained rescue dogs with veterans suffering from PTSD. When they went inside, the two dogs were chained in the basement and one of them had been injured. Also Ryan later said an infected sore on the female could have been exposure to chemicals from cooking methamphetamine. They may be dealing with something more dangerous than they first realized!<br /><br />Darren sets up cameras to catch the abusers if they come back to the house again. When Lily and her friend, Deputy Sheriff Nadine Booth, went back to the abandoned house to check for drug chemicals that could have harmed the female pit bull, Darren’s truck was already parked there. She went inside and called Darren’s name. She found a rag with some chemical and bagged it for Ryan. When Nadine, still outside, honked the horn, Lily and Darren found some men giving her a hard time. She finally got them to go away and implied they could be arrested. <br /><br />When Darren finally gets something on his cameras, Parker and Lily agree to meet him at the abandoned house, but he has blood all over him when he comes up from the basement! The dead body down there is his brother-in-law Rowdy who had been thinking of buying flipping the house. This definitely doesn’t look at all good for Darren. When Darren is arrested for the murder, Parker and Lily immediately begin the investigation to clear him and find out what really happened. Will they find the answer of what’s going on and why Rowdy was killed? Suspense, danger, and dogs make this a mystery you won’t want to miss!<br />

Book 6 in the Barkside of the Moon series does not disappoint! In fact, once you begin you are grabbed and can't put it down. Lily Mason, a shifter, and her human boyfriend Parker have a pit bull rescue center. They are called by an old friend of Parker's, Darren to a run-down abandoned house where he got a heads up that there were two pit bulls tied up in the basement. Of course they would go to get the dogs! Darren who was so angry that someone would do that to animals decided to go back and set up cameras around the property to catch the criminal dog abusers! When he gets a bite on one of the cameras, Darren calls Parker and said he was on his way back to the house. Parker and Lily said they would meet him there. When Darren comes up from the basement of the house he is covered in blood and his criminal brother-in-law is dead in the basement. Of course Darren is arrested, but he swears he didn't do it even though the evidence is incriminating. So of course, Parker and Lily have to investigate to prove his innocence. We also have a few side themes with a pregnant on leave as from the police station, Nadine wants to be involved even though Lily tries to keep her out of it because of Nadine's pregnancy and Lily's uncle Buxx, also a shifter and Nadine's love want to keep her safe. With a lot of twists and turns and some missing evidence and secret liasons you are led on a fast paced read where you are surprised by the ending! Can't wait to see what happens next! I received and ARC from the author but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.

Lily and Parker are pretty happy with their jobs and their lives together as partners. But then Parker gets a call from his friend about 2 dogs at an abandoned house, it is something that they do all the time it is different because the dogs are chained up and Lily is not about to leave them unattended and one thing leads to another when the same friend that called Parker the last time has not been heard from and his wife calls and wants them to find out what might have happened to him when they find him they find way more than they bargained for. Things are so not what they seem in this story the past is brought out, and the storyline is very good, the characters are still very fascinating as before. Suspense, drama, and dogs make it fun. I was given an ARC via BookFunnel without obligation. I volunteered an honest review.
