In the quaint town of Cottonwood Springs, a new face piques the interest of its residents – a cheerful dog groomer named Joss, opening her very own pet haven, Happy Paws Grooming. To Brigid, the arrival of a local groomer is a welcome relief, saving her the trouble of out-of-town trips for her beloved dogs, Jett and Lucky. But what should have been a simple, joyous occasion quickly turns puzzling. Mischief abounds – statues shattered, garden beds ruined, and ominous words defiling the windows of Happy Paws. To Joss, it seems like the childish antics of local youngsters, nothing more than fleeting mischief. Yet, Brigid isn't convinced. The signs and symbols point towards a more malicious intent, and she can't help but wonder if there's more to the story than meets the eye. As Brigid and Sheriff Davis delve into the puzzling events surrounding Happy Paws, they stumble upon a web of old grievances – simmering family rivalries, vengeance ignited by an overly affectionate dog, and the haunting sorrow of a grief-stricken individual. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone has a vendetta against the unsuspecting groomer, and they're escalating their actions. But even as Brigid juggles the investigation, life throws her another curveball – her dear friend, Missy, goes into labor right in the middle of a baby shower she'd organized! With chaos reigning supreme, Brigid is tested to her limits. Dive into a tale brimming with suspense, community ties, and the delightful chaos of everyday life in this cozy mystery. Relish the warmth of endearing friendships, the love of furry companions, and the comfort of home-cooked recipes. If heartwarming endings and gripping mysteries are what you seek, then "Mystery at the Groomers" will not disappoint. Join the journey in this 16th installment of the Cottonwood Springs Cozy Mystery Series by a USA Today Bestselling Author. Enjoy the ride, one twist at a time!
