A Study in Shih Tzus

Poochnapped in Prospector's Rest!

Yesterday, the worst Obadiah (Di) Goode had to worry about was his new job as the head of the Prospector's Rest, North Carolina Sheriff Department's crafting circle. While he'd thought that trying to teach macramé to old timers with ten thumbs and knitting to former rent-a-cops who keep trapping their own fingers in the twisted wool was bad enough, suddenly the town's visitor-friendly Mystery Weekend takes an unwelcome turn.

Now, along with the longtime object of his affections, MacBeth (Mac) Welles, and some of the newer and brighter members of the department, he has to figure out who's stealing expensive purebred dogs from the fun-loving, cosplaying tourists before Prospector's Rest gets a reputation as the place to lose your furry friend.

Just as they're closing in on finding the pooches, the dognappers strike again--this time taking the department's own beloved Boston terrier mascot, Sgt. Peewee!

Now the hunt is personal. And, against a background of costumed guests, mystery games, and oompah bands playing cop show theme songs, Di and Mac have to find their furry friend and nab the kidnappers before it's too late.

Set in a fun, fictional town in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Men Who Stitch diverse, cozy mysteries will have you wanting to move in with the colorful residents of Prospector's Rest and beg for another tale of the adventures of its odd citizenry.
