Caught Dead Handed — Lyndsey Cole

When Hannah Holiday gets kissed by the sweetest Moodle she's ever seen, she finds herself exactly where she does not want to be…in the middle of a messy custody battle for the Maltese-Poodle mix. Hannah is pulled right into the thick of helping her sister's friend as the custody conflict boils over into a deadly disaster. While Hannah's cook, Meg, goes on a baking spree mixing up one new tasty treat after another at The Fishy Dish, a photoshoot with swimsuit models stirs the quiet town of Hooks Harbor. The suspects are able to drown their troubles with coffee, strawberry tarts, and lemon squares at the snack bar, bringing them right into Hannah's business and life. With each suspect pointing a finger at another, Hannah needs answers, especially after one suspect's alibi sticks like caramel. The heat gets turned to high when her sister's friend looks like the guilty suspect and her life is put on the line. Along with Hannah's. It will take more than the adorable Moodle and Petunia, the potbelly pig, to save Hannah from becoming fish bait. Catch of the Dead is volume 6 in the Hooked & Cooked Cozy Mystery Series. Lyndsey's books can be read and enjoyed in any order.
