Maya Kapoor's fresh start in the village of Merrywick takes an unexpected turn when she rescues a little Siberian Husky trotting cheerfully down a country lane with no owner in sight.
She does the sensible thing and takes him back to the local pet shop.
Then he escapes again.
Everyone assures Maya it's nothing to worry about. But when the young shop assistant who helped her return the dog is found dead shortly after the second rescue, Maya realises this was never a harmless inconvenience.
And the puppy was never just running loose.
As Maya pokes her nose where it technically doesn't belong, she begins to uncover a trail of secrets that someone was clearly willing to kill to keep hidden. What started as an act of kindness has pulled her into a mystery far more dangerous than she ever expected.
With a determined husky, a shaken village, and a murderer hiding in plain sight, Maya must trust her instincts…even if it means making herself very unpopular.
A Nose for Trouble is a cozy mystery featuring village secrets, gentle sleuthing, an irresistible puppy, and a murder that proves Merrywick's picture-perfect charm hides more than a few sharp edges. The perfect introduction to The Merry Masala Murders.
