To Kill a Labrador (A Marcia Banks and Buddy Mystery, #0.5)

by Kassandra Lamb

Overview

Marcia Banks has an unusual first name (pronounced Mar-see-a, not Marsha) and an unusual vocation—she trains service dogs for combat veterans with PTSD. This prequel tells the story of how her first trainee, a Black Labrador service dog named Buddy, ends up back with her. And in the process, she picks up an unusual avocation…amateur sleuth.

 

When Buddy's owner, a disabled Marine, is accused of murdering his wife, Marcia is called in to dog-sit, and she is outraged to discover that the small town is presuming the veteran guilty until proven innocent. With Buddy's help, she tries to uncover the real killer. Even after the hunky local sheriff politely tells her to butt out, Marcia keeps poking around. Until the killer finally pokes back.

About the Author

In her youth, Kassandra Lamb had two great passions—psychology and writing. Advised that writers need day jobs—and being partial to eating—she studied psychology. Her career as a psychotherapist and college professor taught her much about the dark side of human nature, but also much about resilience, perseverance, and the healing power of laughter. Now retired, she spends most of her time in an alternate universe populated by her fictional characters. The portal to this universe (aka her computer) is located in northern Florida where her husband and dog catch occasional glimpses of her.

She has written three series: The Kate Huntington Mysteries, The Kate on Vacation Mysteries, and the Marcia Banks and Buddy Cozy Mysteries. And she's now started a fourth series of police procedurals, The C.o.P. on the Scene Mysteries.
