As the Chicks investigate, they discover several suspects at the dog show have something to hide. Was the dead man really a serial Don Juan, intent on taking every female show competitor over 30 to bed? Did the ostentatious poodle exhibitor lose his temper, decide to teach the victim a lesson, and go too far? Or, was the female judge with the Gucci boots angry when the victim threatened to expose her infidelity? And who is that bad-boy biker with the sea-blue eyes and kissable lips?

Just when the Chicks think they know who the murderer is, Molly stumbles over another clue proving them all wrong.

When Dana Fox, feisty mother of two, discovers the dead body of a bullying poodle breeder at the dog show, the Chicks are pushed deep into the middle of another mystery. The wrong man is in jail and it's up to Dana, leader of the pack, Abigail Truelove, owner of Pampered Pooch, and Molly Gibson, a shy romance writer, to collar the real killer.

Especially when the victim is the most hated man in the show world and the suspect list reads like an open phone directory. Dealing with a wacky fortune teller, a hot gym instructor, homeless guys armed with shopping trolleys, Queen Bee of the Yummy Mummies and an English Lord called Dumpling would keep even the inimitable Poirot himself awake at nights.
