Hi, I’m Leslie Winters, and when I left Houston for my hometown of Pecan, Texas, I needed a do-over in a big way. So I set up shop in my dad’s old shed and took on clients less likely to run off with now-cheating exes.
My pet-grooming business turned out to be a pretty fun way to make ends meet… until I dropped off two tough Pomeranian clients at their home, and found their dead owner waiting for us.
Then local law enforcement finds me at the scene, and my dachshund finds the murder weapon right in front of them. Oh, boy!
Now I’m out to solve the crime before a certain dreamy detective tries to collar me for the crime. But someone is on my tail, and they’re making it clear they don’t want me to investigate.
After a few close shaves, I’m now more determined than ever to solve this case. Can I figure out whodunnit before I wind up in deep do-do or worse?

Leslie,
I never thought I’d meet someone on a crime scene.
Especially a crime scene with a half-naked man dead in a hot tub.
Then you came in with your sass and didn’t want to give me the time of day.
Something that isn’t very helpful when there’s a murder investigation.
But you kept me intrigued.
Not just because your dog found the murder weapon.
Or because you wouldn’t stop sleuthing.
But you, Leslie, with your fiery personality and quick wit, you kept me on my toes.
You kept me guessing.
As a detective, that’s not usually a good thing.
But for you, I love a good mystery. A good surprise.
Now if we could just have fun and stay out of trouble just for a little bit, that would be great.
But I know you and know that soon there will be another mystery to solve.
And I’ll be right by your side.
No matter what.
Love,
Detective Adam Waltz, Dallas PD.
