Tailing Trouble is the second installment in the A Furry Friends Mystery series featuring veterinarian Ally Winter and set in Willow Bluff, Wisconsin. Ally's vet business still isn't picking up so she's decided to take up more grooming and boarding and she finds herself taking care of Domino, a black standard poodle with zero obedience training.
Ally's grandfather, Oscar is still living at the Legacy house with the three widows. When Ally goes to pick him up to bring him to the library she runs into Pricilla Green, the twenty year old housekeeper with a bad attitude. Hours later when she's out taking Domino for a walk, he breaks away from Ally and runs into the woods, chasing the dog down she discovers the dead body of Pricilla lying under a tree.
Despite the objections of Detective Noah Jorgenson, Ally and Oscar team up to track down a killer. In addition to the recent murder there has also been a string of burglaries in Willow Bluff and Oscar is convinced the two mysteries are connected.
This series has so much potential, but unfortunately the writing is bogged down by the constant mention of Ally going to the Legacy House for meals, having to take the dogs for a walk, etc. and it can really wear on your nerves after a while. Plus, I can't imagine how she's staying in business when she barely seems to have one or two clients a week. The mysteries and plots are good, it's the rest that just needs a little fine tuning (and more furry friends). I'm not giving up yet!
