A barber’s close shave… and a mystery that’s anything but smooth.
Lucy Hart wanted peace and quiet in Cedar Hollow. Instead, she’s running a general store with Echo, her retired K9 partner who happens to be hard of hearing—and sometimes fetches the wrong clue.

When grumpy barber Barry “Blade” Cavanaugh is found with his own razor at his throat, suspicion falls on Lucy’s friend, handsome carpenter Will Mercer. Lucy knows Will isn’t guilty, but proving it will take more than a trim and a tidy alibi.

With Echo’s nose for trouble (and the occasional mix-up) and Lucy’s knack for digging into secrets, they’ll have to untangle rivalries, debts, and hidden scandals before the killer snips again.

Perfect for fans of dog-loving sleuths, small-town secrets, and mysteries with a wag and a wink.
