Nicolette Briggs doesn’t do humans.
Three Dogs, Two Murders, and a Cat
Nicolette Briggs Mystery Book 1
by Rodney Strong
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Nicolette Briggs doesn’t do humans.
As Wellington’s premier, and possibly only, animal detective, Nicolette mostly
investigates missing pets and cases of animal cruelty. So when her latest
client asks her to investigate a case of a poisoned cat, it seems right up her
alley. Until a body shows up, then another, and suddenly despite her resolve to
not get involved, Nicolette is right in the middle two murder investigations.
Or is it just one killer?
When someone breaks into her house and one of her dogs is injured, Nicolette’s
reluctance turns to determination to not only solve this thing before the
police, but show up her stubborn police detective brother in the process.
Along the way she has to navigate a daughter about to turn 15, a dwindling bank
account, and a dysfunctional family that seems determined to fix her. Not to
mention a killer who’s turned their sights her way.
No wonder she doesn’t do humans.
Three Dogs, Two Murders, and a Cat is the first book in the clean, cozy mystery
series. Gilmore Girls meets Nancy Drew, with a touch of dysfunctional families,
a touch of humour, and a touch of caring.
Rodney Strong quit a 9-5 job in 2016 to finally pursue his
life long dream of becoming a writer (he still has the very first play he wrote
at age 6). He lives in Porirua, New Zealand, with his wife, two children, and
two cats. When he’s not writing he attempts to stay away from chocolate, runs
(sometimes), reads, and enjoys spending time with his young children (who
contribute a lot to the running and craving for chocolate).
He always has a couple of projects on the go, but for now is
focusing on his series of cozy mysteries.
One of his cats likes to help with the process by sitting on
the laptop, while the other likes nesting on his shoulders (which was cute when
he was a kitten, but now the cat is 11 years old, is less so).
