<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Series numbering from publisher's website.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Making rounds to homes one wet spring morning, veterinarian Dr. Kate Turner visits an estate whose owners breed champion Cavalier King Charles spaniels. Instead of sharing traditional tea with the couple, she confronts a bloody scene of bodies and twenty-seven blue-ribbon dogs running wild.</p> <p>Police initially suspect a murder-suicide, but when Dr. Kate proves the famous best-in-show champion is missing, a darker reality intrudes. She remembers her grandfather saying that there are two motives for murder - love and money. While treating local pets, Dr. Kate discovers suspects and motives everywhere in this charming town filled with people who wanted the couple dead.</p> <p>Was the couple murdered for money their champion could bring to another breeder? How is their daughter, anxious to rid herself of the pampered dogs, handling the wealth she inherits? Would the celebrity filmmaker living nearby kill to end a multi-million dollar lawsuit? Did long-buried personal secrets cause the deaths? And what's going on at the office behind her back? Is Dr. Kate now in danger?</p> <p>We are delighted to discover and publish first-time mystery writer Eileen Brady, D.V.M. Her characters, style, and storytelling bring authenticity and atmosphere to this new pet noir series.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Muzzled</i> is an enjoyable read for both the light mystery fan and the dog lover, and if they are one and the same, it's a double delight.-- "<b><i>NY Journal of Books</i></b>"<br><br>A delightful and lively mystery that introduces Kate Turner, a veterinarian with heart, humor and a new penchant for solving murders. A promising first novel that will leave readers begging for more.-- "<b>Earlene Fowler, Agatha-awarding winning author of the Benni Harper mystery series</b>"<br><br>Here is a novel written with exacting authority, along with a frolicking sense of humor about life, animals, and the lengths to which someone will go to right a wrong, all while still maintaining a solid sense of tension and suspense. I look forward to future mysteries featuring the charismatic Dr. Kate Turner...and I'm sure you will, too!-- "<b>James Rollins, New York Times best-selling author of <i>The Eye of God</i></b>"<br><br>I am impressed with new writer Eileen Brady, a veterinarian by profession, and her first mystery novel, <i>Muzzled</i>. There is no doubt she knows her stuff as a vet. She also did a great job of incorporating that knowledge into her writing....<i>Muzzled</i> is a delightful book and I look forward to the second in this new series.-- "<b><i>Bookloons</i></b>"<br><br>Kate's debut has plenty to offer pet lovers and mystery mavens alike.-- "<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b>"<br><br>Readers will want to see more of the likable Kate, who, as she snoops and doctors, provides an inside look at quirky pet owners and the oft-satirized dog show set (shoe polish shines a nose!). She even imparts wisdom on such matters as clipping parrot toe nails and the importance of doggie weight loss diets.-- "<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b>"<br><br>Winner of the Poisoned Pen Discover Writers Contest, Brady's series debut is stellar. She weaves in details about the veterinary practice without overwhelming the plot, and the scenic Hudson River setting (think Rhinebeck) enhances the mystery. Recommend for Beth Groundwater readers: gentle but exciting, too. <b>(starred review)</b>-- "<b><i>Library Journal</i></b>"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>MUZZLED is the first in the Kate Turner, D.V.M. mystery series for Eileen Brady. A veterinarian for over twenty-five years, Eileen lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her husband Jon, also a veterinarian, and several pets who won't get off her keyboard. <BR>
