Description
A city transplant in a dog-obsessed small town becomes the prime suspect when the local dog walker is murdered in this charmingly quirky and clever mystery.

"A delightful mashup of Desperate Housewives and Best in Show, Murder Bites is laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly heartwarming. A very fun ride, from a totally original new voice."--Marisa Kashino, author of the Good Morning America Book Club pick Best Offer Wins

A LITERARY HUB MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR

Margot Cartwright is not exactly blending in with the residents of Glenville, South Carolina. An unwilling transplant from Washington, D.C., Margot feels like a fish out of water among the Lululemon-wearing, tiny-dog-owning, non-New Yorker-reading locals who are clamoring to have their fur babies star on Pawsh, a reality TV show about couture canines. (Sure, Margot loves her dog, but Sid Vicious is far too cool of a mutt for a show like that!) She even feels like an outcast amongst her family, and after she's caught channeling her inner "Robin Hood" by stealing her neighbors' pro-Pawsh signs, further cementing her title as the neighborhood pariah, she thinks things can't possibly get any worse, right?

Wrong. When the local dog walker is killed in a bizarre incident involving an over-the-top Halloween display featuring multiple Home Depot skeletons, all eyes turn to Margot. To clear her name and save her family from falling apart, Margot vows to find the real killer before they strike again--but she can't do it alone.

Enter Anne, a glamorous septuagenarian widow determined to maintain her reign over the HOA, and Sally-Claire, a "Mom Life" sweatshirt-clad member of the "Mommy Mafia" who might not be as perfect as she seems. Together, the unlikely trio (along with their canine companions) dives into the mystery, navigating the quirky and secretive world of Glenville's residents. Can they solve the case before it's too late, or will Margot's reputation be permanently dog-eared?
