Pet Recovery Center Mysteries Books

With her new business venture - a service to recover missing pets called Pet Recovery Center up and running, Penny Clark is ready to investigate when she learns Winston, a prized poodle, has been dognapped. Nevermind that the body of Kevin Throop was also discovered at the family apple orchard. She has a job to do!Things would be a lot easier if Penny didn’t have to play referee to her divorced grandparents, but she had agreed to take her grandfather in when he'd been forced to leave the rustic cabin he’d been living in. She would just have to make the best of it.Going against the strict orders of Sheriff Nathan Bradley, who was once her high school sweetheart, and with her partner, Holly, at the helm of the Pet Recovery Center bus (and her divorced grandparents along for the ride) Penny's Pet Recovery Center tackles their first case — to find the missing poodle — but what she uncovers is murder...and a whole lot more.

Penny and Holly opened the Pet Recovery Center to locate lost pets, but when bones are dug up at a Victorian mansion, it's game on to find a husky who stole a jawbone that just might help the police to identify the remains. Sheriff Nathan Bradley is willing to allow Penny, whom he dated in high school, to assist on a cold case on her own time. But it proves to be difficult when she slips information to the press that's he's not yet ready to share. While Penny and Holly search to find out who buried the remains on the Gravely's property, the husky continues to elude them. It's a race against the clock as the girls step up their efforts to track down the missing husky with the help of Percy the Pig. Will they be able to find the jawbone that was taken from the crime scene in time to catch a killer?

Penny Clark works hard to make the Pet Recovery Center the best pet-related business in Apple Creek. Cat-sitting, dog-sitting, bird-sitting—they do it all. When Hairy Paws Day Center opens its doors, she finds her livelihood threatened. Sure, she tracks down missing animals, but how can she compete with a center that offers clients training as well as boarding services? According to Mona Butters, she can’t. Mona is looking to have her lovebird tamed while she’s away, and thanks to Hairy Paws, Penny has already lost one potential client. But the same day Mona visits both of the centers, she turns up dead in the park. Private investigating is just the distraction Penny needs from her current business situation. Unfortunately, Sheriff Nathan Bradley has different ideas, especially since someone close to Penny has been implicated in the murder. The conflict threatens their budding romance, and a new woman in the picture doesn’t help. Will Penny lose Nathan to the other woman, or will this murder be the death of them both?
