Murder, She Wrote meets The Odd Couple in award-winning author Laurien Berenson's brand-new mystery series, spun off from her much-loved Melanie Travis Canine series and featuring Melanie's elderly aunts-tough-as-nails Peg and soft-spoken Rose-who'll put their differences aside to stop a killer, if they don't throttle each other first.

Rose Donovan looks for the good in everyone. With her sister-in-law, Peg, that sometimes requires a lot of searching. Even a sixty-something former nun like Rose has her limits, and gruff Peg Turnbull sure knows how to push them. But after forty years of bickering, they're attempting to start over, partnering up to join the local bridge club.

Peg and Rose barely have a chance to celebrate their first win before one of the club's most accomplished players is killed in his home. As the newest members, the sisters-in-law come under scrutiny and decide to start some digging of their own. But as their suspect list narrows, they're unaware that their logic has a dangerous flaw. And they'll have to hope that their teamwork holds steady when they're confronted by a killer who's through with playing games . . .

"Lots of canine fun . . . Anyone who loves dogs, especially poodles, dog shows, and silver-haired sleuths, will enjoy this new cozy mystery series." -San Francisco Book Review
