8th April 2027
Price: £12.99
Welcome to Rover’s Rest, Scotland’s most luxurious hotel for dogs and their humans, where tails wag, blood is spilled and alibis are chewed to pieces . . .
Detective Dexter Hound and his two shih tzus are the guests of honour at Rover’s Rest, an exclusive dog-friendly hotel in the Scottish Highlands. There, he discovers not the relaxing break he’d hoped for but a world of simmering tension, bitter rivalries and guests with everything to hide. At least there’s Annie, the chambermaid who glides effortlessly between staff and guests, and straight into Dexter’s confidence.
Then, the hotel is rocked by a discovery of a body. Travelling under a false name, she is instantly familiar to Dexter: the prime suspect in a case he never solved. When a violent storm cuts the hotel off from the mainland, he and Annie must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.
With no way in or out, suspicion falls on Rover’s Rest’s eccentric clientele: a reality TV star and her influencer fiancé, an opera diva, a family on the brink of collapse, and the hotel’s enigmatic owner, who seems to know more than she’s saying.
A darkly comic mystery about privilege, family secrets and second chances, Murder at the No. 1 Canine Hotel introduces a detective with a nose for trouble. But never fear: no dogs were harmed.
