by Sharon Michaels
If you’re in the mood for a family-friendly quick read with some smart dogs BARKS AND CLUES could be just what you’re looking for.
~Cozy Up With Kathy
I enjoyed this very quick read. If you want a story that grabs you and gets right to the point, includes some danger, and them takes you to the ending this will do it.
~Maureen’s Musings
4 stars! Short, cozy mystery featuring dogs and their human sleuths. I recommend BARKS AND CLUES to cozy mystery readers, especially those who like dog-themed books or want something short, entertaining, and quick to enjoy.
~Boys’ Mom Reads!
Barks and Clues was cute, fast-paced, and entertained me. It was an easy read that allowed the reader to escape real life for a little while.
~Novels Alive
At just over 100 pages, Barks and Clues is a fast and entertaining read. The characters really grabbed me so I am excited to read Book 2, Ruff Justice next time I need a quick little adventure.
~Escape with Dollycas into a Good Book

Three generations of one family sleuthing together.
Dog detectives sniffing out clues and bad guys.
A small town with hidden secrets.
A close-knit community coming together to solve crime.
… then this is the short read book for you.Retired police detective Maya Thompson is living a quiet life in the small town of Sunridge Junction with her son, Ethan, and her granddaughter, Lily. When their peaceful neighborhood is hit by a string of break-ins, Maya suspects there might be more to these crimes than meets the eye. Together, Maya, Ethan, Lily and their three clever and adventurous dogs, Digger, Dash, and Daisy, begin investigating the burglaries.
The dogs follow their noses, and the humans follow the dogs to an old fishing shack and a mysterious inventor. The man claims his innocence and insists he is being framed for the break-ins. The reclusive inventor explains that someone is trying to sabotage him and steal his inventions. He pleads with the crime-solvers to help prove his innocence and bring the true culprits to justice. Maya reluctantly agrees, finding it difficult to let go of her desire for justice.
With its quirky characters, fun plot twists, and a sprinkling of canine charm, this book is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries and anyone who believes that heroism has no age limit.
