Arsenic and Young Lacy (A Marcia Banks and Buddy Mystery, #2)

Kassandra Lamb's Arsenic and Young Lacy Marcia Banks is training young Lacy for the dog's placement program with a veteran who has PTSD having been sexually assaulted in the service. But things are not as they appear...besides her psychological problems, the vet is being stalked and harassed. Because of Marcia's involvement with the vet, she is now in danger. Mystery, thrills, chills, stalking, arson, a shooting make for a fast paced, engaging plot. Add many twists and turns plus some romance for an intriguing read. Learning more details regarding foods that dogs can or cannot eat plus service dog reactions to other people and animals was enlightening. I volunteered to read this eBook. Thanks to the author for the eBook. My opinion is my own.

Isn't the cover of this book great?! The second book in this series is just as wonderful as the first. Marcia Banks is busy training dogs for veterans suffering from PTSD. Soon Marcia is embroiled in the "drama" surrounding the life of the prospective human meant for the adorable Lacy. I was totally caught up in the twists and turns of the story. And interested in learning how each dog is matched/trained with their new person. The secondary characters in the story - the people the inhabit Marcia's world - are back, too. And, of course, Buddy (the black lab that was the star of the first book) is also a part of this tale. I love the "after words" shared by the author at the end of the boo. I look forward to the next book in the series! In the meantime, I know there will be a new book in the other (Kate) series by this author. Do yourself a favor and start reading the books by Kass Lamb. DISCLAIMER: I was provided a ARC copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

I loved the title and cover of this book as soon as I saw it. Then you start reading and love it even more! It's a real page turner and I couldn't wait to pick it up again. A good book to give you a reason to read until the wee hours of the morning. Kassandra Lamb has another great series going, with this being book #2. Not only do you get a great mystery with this book, there's a bit of romance, some suspense, and you'll learn about PTSD and how service dogs are trained to help their owners. Whenever I thought I knew who the villain was in the book, the author would throw some more twists and turns to the story that made me doubt myself! That always adds more intrigue to a story and I'm already looking forward to book #3 and more of Marcia's adventures. This was a good mystery I would highly recommend! * I received an advance copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
