The Bark Before the Dawn (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781448315468)

Murder, magic, and a touch of romance. Return to the charming coastal town of Twilight Cove with the latest installment in USA Today bestselling author Sarah Fox's enchanting Magical Menagerie Mystery series!

Ever get the feeling you're being watched?

Arriving home to her beloved farmhouse after a successful trip with her boyfriend, Callum, Georgie Johansen feels utterly contented. Until she discovers a dark figure watching her from the bushes!

A prowler on your property is creepy enough to warrant a call to the police, right? But when Georgie's ID matches that of a body discovered the next day at Twilight Cove's Seabreeze Motel, things take a bizarre turn. Especially when Georgie realizes she met the murder victim at the airport in Florida.

Why did the mysterious woman follow them all the way to Oregon? Why was she at the farm? And what could she possibly have done that led to her death?

Georgie--along with magical pups Flossie and Fancy--makes it her mission to uncover the truth. And time is of the essence as a second prowler stares through her window . . .

This delightful cozy mystery series with paranormal pooches is perfect for fans of Sofie Kelly, Amanda Flowers, Wendy Corsi Staub, and Gretchen Rue!
