Publisher Description
Life in Pleasant Hills, Texas, flows like sweet molasses. Normally.
But nothing is pleasant or normal about murder.
At 26-years-old, Steely Lamarr, wants nothing more than to prove to the world that she can achieve success in life and in love. Due to her grandmother's sudden retirement, Steely's the proud owner of the family's pet grooming business. Only her office duties taught her nothing about grooming dogs. As for love, it's more work than holding water in your hands.
When the mysterious death of one of her employees occurs, and local law enforcement questions Steely's possible involvement, her life, business, and love swirl out of control. With the help of her cheeky Chihuahua, Steely sets out to prove her innocence, find justice for her employee, and sniff out the killer.
Can Steely and her canine sidekick discover whodunit? Or will their lives, her floundering business, and her stagnating relationship disappear down the drain?

How to Leash a Thief
Nick was right about Steely, a self absorbed brat. Steely is immature and childish. Headstrong and stubborn, at times during the story, I wished someone/anyone WOULD kill her. Throughout this book her thinking process was young and juvenile. Steely didn’t listen to anybody, even when the advice was good. She brought everything on herself and I found it hard to be sympathetic towards her.
The book is 55 chapters long, mercifully, the chapters are short and quick reading. Not a bad book though if you can take Steely’s stubbornness. I did give it five stars. It’s a good read, able to be read in a day which I did. This book may appeal to anyone looking to while away a few hours.
Wonderful
The characters threw me off guard as what was happening.
Loved the ties between a human and a dog!
I enjoyed this so much! It was easy to keep track of the characters (which isn’t always so easy). The characters were interesting and well described. I had visions of each character. Thanks AND keep writing. I’m a fan for sure!!
