Holly and Trixie meet a strange new dog in Wagtail that leads them
right into murder. . . .
Holly Miller is looking forward to finally taking a few days to relax.
Enjoying an early morning on her terrace, she spots an unfamiliar
reddish-gold pooch across the lake. She's intrigued, but never expects
to find the very same dog smiling at her in bed when she wakes up the
next morning! Trixie and Twinkletoes appear to accept this cute
stranger, but Holly doesn't know to whom he belongs.
Oma thinks the dog looks familiar, and it turns out the wayward pooch
belongs to Holly's cousin Josh. Holly knew her cousin well as a child,
but she hasn't seen him in over a decade. He's camping with his
girlfriend across the lake. Holly returns the cute dog to Josh's
campsite twice, but the second time, Josh and his girlfriend are nowhere
to be found. Instead, a guest of the Sugar Maple Inn is dead in their
tent. Now it's up to Holly and Trixie to suss out a sneaky killer.
