Perfect for fans of dog cozy mysteries, culinary cozy mysteries, lighthearted amateur-sleuth fiction, and behind-the-scenes reality-TV drama. Lights, cameras… and sabotage in the kitchen!

When the Cuisine Network brings its brand-new reality show, Dog’s Kitchen , to the peaceful Friar Lake Conference Center, Steve Levitan expects chaos—but not sabotage. Celebrity chefs, foodie influencers, and gourmet-loving dogs descend on the property, turning Steve’s summer into a whirlwind of barking, baking, and behind-the-scenes drama. His golden retriever, Rochester , just wants to stay close to the food.

Then the accidents begin…

As filming ramps up, strange mishaps threaten to shut down production :

Equipment fails at the worst possible moments Key ingredients vanish A star chef threatens to walk Priceless truffles are swapped And a crew member is injured in the chaos If the show collapses, Friar Lake’s future—and Steve’s job—may go down with it.

Good thing Rochester knows a scent of trouble when he smells one.

With careers and reputations on the line, Steve and Rochester must sniff out whoever’s sabotaging the show.

It’s a mystery without a murder, but the stakes are just as real —and the truth could cost far more than money.
