My review;

This is one of the newest books in the Josie Marcus Mystery Shopper Series by Elaine Viets. Josie's Mom has a new person living in her apartment who works at a doggy day care center. Uncle Bob's Doggy Day Camp is very well known because of Uncle Bob acting like  one of the dogs. While Josie is trying to find out if Uncle Bob is really who he claims to be, Franklin who works at the doggy day camp and who just happens to be her mother's new tenant is suspected of murdering Uncle Bob. Just before Uncle Bob was found murdered, Franklin made it known that he was going to quit because of how Uncle Bob really acted. It is all up to Josie to help Franklin prove he is not the murderer and she needs to be pretty quick about it. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review from Night Owl Reviews and all opinions are my own. *property Night Owl Reviews
