Death on Torrid Ave. (Secret Sleuth, Book 2): Small town, dog park cozy mystery
Paws for murder
Far from the publishing world that once defined her, Sheila Mackey has found a new life, a new home, and a new love.
The love has four legs, a plumey tail, and a lot of fur. Meet Gracie the rescue collie. Too smart for her own good – certainly too smart for Sheila's good, when Gracie discovers a dead body during a dog park gambol.
Especially since Sheila delves into mysteries surrounding this dead body ... only to discover the new guy at the Torrid Avenue dog park is a barely retired cop. Not good for an amateur sleuth with a big secret of her own that she intends to keep. She's not exactly who she says she is. At least, she's not who she pretended to be for 15 years.
Will Sheila untangle the murder mystery before her secrets are untied, exposing her previous identity to her new small-town neighbors?
And will Gracie ever learn the "Quiet!" command?
Praise for Death on Torrid Avenue
"Move over Agatha Christie there's a new sleuth in town. Patricia McLinn has created a fabulous new murder mystery series. Wonderful characters, both human and canine, with an interesting backdrop. I highly recommend." – 5*
"5 stars for sure! Two dog trainers with differing training philosophies frequent the same dog park. One ends up dead! . . . I loved it. The characters were realistic. The plot made sense, especially to anyone who knows dog trainers. And of course, there was a twist at the end." –5*
"Had me hooked from the start. . . . Keeps us guessing on who really committed the crime. I enjoyed getting to know Sheila . . . and also getting to know her new friends in her new hometown in Kentucky. I think the fact that Sheila has her own secrets to hide makes it more interesting." –5*
"Great books. Can't wait to read the next one. Great characters and I love their reactions." – 5*
"I had to laugh at the squabbling about the differing ideas concerning how to manage a dog's behavior. The ending surprised me." – 5*
"Another winner . . . A lot of humor and the characters are good company. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I am looking forward to the next story."

"Patricia McLinn's writing grown-up entertainment full of wit and charm that should satisfy the most discerning readers." – 5*
"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*
"Plenty of humor and complex characters. . . . Kept me engaged until the last page, wondering how long I'll have to wait for another visit to Haines Tavern, Kentucky!" – 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*
"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 series is in the middle with dry humor but serious mysteries, The Innocence Trilogy is edgier (and has more romance), and Secret Sleuth is a bit less edgy.
