Dill’s Garden

Bad Things, Good Dog · Book Two

A neighbor under pressure.
A home worth protecting.
One very good dog.

Dill knows the neighborhood by smell: wet earth, warm kitchens, and the people who belong. But some kinds of trouble arrive smiling.

Back in Seattle after their ordeal in the mountains, Dill and Sharon are finding their feet again. Their neighbor June has a garden full of memories and a life she has no intention of handing over. The help she has accepted, however, is beginning to come with a price.

As favors turn into pressure and other people start making June's decisions, Sharon's old instincts as a lawyer stir. Dill has a few instincts of his own. Together, they must help their neighbor protect her home—and her right to say no.

Dill's Garden is the second book in A. R. Shaw's Bad Things, Good Dog series: adult cozy suspense told by a golden retriever with a seizure-alert job, dry opinions, and an unshakable devotion to his person.

For readers who love perceptive dogs, stubborn friends, neighborhood suspense, and warmth threaded through human trouble.
