Sniffing out murder / Kallie E. Benjamin.

"When a murder unleashes a widespread investigation through Crosbyville, children's book author Pris and her trusty bloodhound, Bailey, must sniff out the truth before the whole town goes to the dogs. After deciding that life as a teacher wasn't right forher, Priscilla found inspiration for her first children's book in her three-year-old bloodhound's nose for truth, and so The Adventures of Bailey the Bloodhound was born. After the book's massively pawsitive response led Pris to move back to her hometownof Crosbyville, Indiana, to continue the series, she's surprised by how things have changed in the town, but even more so how they haven't. Pris is frustrated to discover that newly elected school board trustee Whitney Kelley--a former high school mean girl--is intent on making Crosbyville more competitive by eliminating "frivolous spending" on the arts and social programs, including Pris and Bailey's beloved pet-assisted reading program. A minor altercation between them isn't anything unusual, but afterBailey sniffs out Whitney's body in a bed of begonias, locals start hounding Pris and Bailey as suspects for the crime. With Bailey's sharp senses and Pris's local know-how, can they prove to the community that they're all barking up the wrong tree?"-- Provided by publisher.
