Description
When author Elizabeth “Lizzy” Hornwhistle chooses a simple life in South Dakota, away from sudden fame and the paparazzi, she faces a long and frigid winter but none of the peace and quiet she’d imagined.
The citizens of her new home, Harperstown, don’t let the weather get in their way, and soon Lizzy is busy with an obnoxious next-door neighbor, a mystery maze to plan, two pet houseguests—and a poisoner on the loose.
Luckily, Lizzy’s miniature guard dach Mavis and her best friend Holly have her back as she tries to unravel clues to the killer’s identity before they can strike again.
Advance Praise
"A quaint and charming mystery pulled from Alice Kanaka's inimitable creativity and love of dogs, Gallant Guard-dach is a breezy and original whodunit. Accessible, entertaining, and comforting, even with the murderous drama, the suspenseful storyline is well-plotted and the characters are well-drawn, for a delightful cozy mystery." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★

#GallantGuarddach #NetGalley is a really good cozy mystery that I enjoyed reading.
Lizzy is a great character, her personality shines in this second book in the series.
Lizzy and her friend Holly find themselves involved in another murder investigation, and it seems like someone is trying to pin the murder on Holly.
There were so many funny moments and I absolutely love Mavis! The murder mystery which led to the investigation was well done, I loved the idea they had, and I would have loved to be there.
I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.
