Lily Echosby’s two-timing ex-husband is murdered, and she is a natural suspect. She investigates the murder with her best friend Dixie and their canines. This book is similar to my book in that the human characters are diverse. They come from varying backgrounds, merging their collective experiences to provide a story with many perspectives. Lily Echosby’s CPA training will aid her deductions in the same way that Lily Dreyfus’ canine training helps her solve the murder of Pete Russo. Both women gain strength from their challenges and are determined to sniff out the perpetrators.

After twenty-five years of marriage, Lilly’s husband, Albert, divorces her for a woman younger than their children. Following a contentious meeting with their lawyers, Lilly returns home contemplating a new life alone, until the police discover Albert murdered and determine Lilly makes a perfect suspect. Having ended a long-term relationship, I understood the conflict Lilly experienced. Lilly exhibits strength and resilience as she investigates her husband’s murder while planning her future. Those character traits helped me start over.
