Crystal Waters has her hands full managing Riverside Towers, a sprawling apartment complex where drama is usually limited to noise complaints and broken appliances. But when her miniature long-haired dachshund, Minnie, discovers the body of Richard Thornton in their beloved dog park, Crystal’s orderly world is turned upside down.
Richard wasn’t just any victim—he was the wealthy developer determined to bulldoze the dog park for luxury condos, and half the neighborhood wanted him gone.
The suspect list grows longer than Minnie’s ears: a restaurant owner facing financial ruin, a grieving pet owner seeking revenge, an environmental activist with a criminal past, and Richard’s ex-wife who stands to inherit millions.
But someone doesn’t appreciate Crystal’s curiosity. Threatening notes, a ransacked apartment, and a vicious attack on a potential witness make it clear the killer will stop at nothing to keep their secret buried. Good thing Minnie has a nose for trouble—and murder.
As Crystal follows the clues her clever dachshund uncovers, she realizes the killer is closer than she ever imagined. With Minnie by her side and danger closing in, Crystal must dig up the truth before she becomes the next victim.
Perfect for fans of small-town mysteries, loyal canine companions, and amateur sleuths who refuse to let sleeping dogs lie.
Off the Leash is the first book in the Daring Dachshunds series—cozy mysteries featuring Crystal Waters and her fearless miniature dachshund, Minnie, solving crimes one paw print at a time.

A small-town cozy pet mystery
A cat with a distaste for a certain cologne.
A pet shop owner seeking justice.
A billionaire dead.
Trinity Ashford owns Tail Waggin’ pet daycare and store. Every morning, a kindly elderly man brings her coffee. At least until his handsome son shows up wanting to change everything. Then, Trinity finds the elderly man murdered and is determined to prove his son is the killer by using the old man’s cat, Moses, as a witness.
The cat hates the scent of the cologne the son wears, the very scent lingering in the air over the old man’s body. No one believes her, but she is determined to prove the cat is a viable witness.
As she seeks to prove the son the murderer, she realizes he is far from a killer and the two of them end of teaming together to find out the identity of the real killer. From small town strips malls, to penthouses, and country clubs, they check off suspects one-by-one until they get too close.
Can the feisty feline alert them to the killer by smell? Will they find justice for the cat’s owner or will they become the next targets on the killer’s list?
Here are some of Trinity’s favorite things for her fur babies! (Mine, too)
