Murder She Meowed

Kristan "Stan" Connor loves concocting tasty organic treats for dogs and cats-and she also loves her fiance, pub owner Jake McGee. But she's not so enthusiastic about finding a dead body at her own bachelorette party . . .

Stan and Jake's wedding will soon take place on the town green in Frog Ledge, Connecticut, followed by a reception at their beloved Irish pub filled with friends, family, and their four favorite canine companions.

Now the guest list has turned into a suspect list-and Stan's making a vow to find the killer . . . Includes Gourmet Pet Food Recipes!
