Death on Shady Bridge (Secret Sleuth, Book 5): Dog park friends cozy mystery
A cold case murder heats up
In her new Kentucky home and far from the publishing world that once defined her, Sheila Mackey's plan to escape to a quiet life in small-town Kentucky keeps hitting bumps in the road ... and some of those bumps are dead bodies.

Sheila and her friend, Clara, are in for their toughest inquiry yet, when they take on investigating a death that's colder than a cold case, because few in Haines Tavern, Kentucky, think it was a murder in the first place. Suicide? Accident? Murder? They're determined to bring peace of mind to the dead woman's friends.

At the same time, Sheila is finding it harder and harder to protect her secret past, especially from Teague O'Donnell, who's shifting from a fellow dog-lover to possibly much more.

Praise for the Secret Sleuth series
"The trifecta: Funny, Clever and Clean! " – 5*

"This series meets my criteria for twists, turns, and who-done-its easily. Patricia McLinn does not disappoint with her sharp characters and enough secrets to cover everything. If you like a good, clean mystery, do yourself a favor and read these!" – 5*

"Murder and laughs. Can't wait for more." – 5*

"I so thoroughly enjoy this series and author that when a new book arrives, I drop everything to start reading." – 5*

"As usual, excellent story from Patricia McLinn, well-written with plenty of humor and complex characters. She definitely kept me engaged until the last page, wondering how long I'll have to wait for another visit to Haines Tavern, Kentucky!" – 5*

"Patricia McLinn's writing grown-up entertainment full of wit and charm that should satisfy the most discerning readers." – 5*

"The ladies are hip deep in trouble as usual but it is an enjoyable read to find out what happens. Gracie is just adorable and so are her playmates." –5*

"Oh, yea. These are a lot of fun to read." –5*

"If you haven't discovered Patricia McLinn yet, you are in for a treat. I have not found a book of hers that I didn't enjoy . . . Check it out!" – 5*

"These books are terrific! And, having a collie myself, I have to tell you, the description of the collie alarm system is spot on!" – 5*

"Great series. McLinn's Secret Sleuth series has the same winning components of her Caught Dead in Wyoming series: a likable central character, well developed setting, fun supporting cast, and a great story. McLinn writes intelligent cozies that are a level (or two) above the typical offerings for the genre." – 5*

"Good, clean fun without being childish. The story funny and engaging; and the whodunnit surprising" – 5*

"If you like a clever mystery, with lots of insider dog humor don't miss this series. English lit lovers will find loads of one-liners just for them as well." – 5*

On the spectrum of McLinn's mystery novels, the Caught Dead in Wyoming cozy series is in the middle, The Innocence Trilogy is edgier (and has more romance), and Secret Sleuth is a bit less edgy.
