About this audiobook

"This mystery will sink its fangs into your funny bone and drag you along by a leash of laughter." -- Denise Swanson, New York Times Bestselling Author

Dog walking seemed like an innocent job... but the mob has its paws in everything.

I’m Lucie Rizzo, former investment banker. Status: unemployed.

It’s been a hard fall from grace, and now I’m back living with my mother while I try to piece my life together. Everything I’ve done has been to escape my mob-infested family, but here I am, right back where I started.

Determined to turn things around, I took a part-time job walking dogs for wealthy clients, and that sparked an idea to launch my own pet accessory line. Just as I’m getting my footing, my smoking-hot ex, Frankie Falcone, decides he wants a do-over. He’s got his own ties to “the Family,” but I’m hardly in a position to judge.

What I’m worried about are the kidnappings. Or rather, petnappings. Someone’s snatching dogs, and all of them belong to my high-end clients.

One stolen dog is bad enough. Three is a pattern. If this keeps up, I’ll be out of business in days and a prime suspect on the ASPCA’s radar. My only option? Solve this mess myself and make sure the dogjacking culprits end up right where they belong—in a cell.

Dog Collar Crime is book one in the Lucie Rizzo Mystery series. For more Lucie Rizzo fun, check out all the titles in this high-spirited, hilarious series - read 'em all!

A bedazzling case! Lucie Rizzo thought she could escape her “mob princess” label but when her job and money ran out she was forced to temporarily move back home. At least she had her dog walking clients and her new line of bejeweled coats and collars for income. When the dognapping’s started Lucie knew she had to solve the crime. She could not stand the possibility of one of her sweet pups being injured and fortunately, her on-again off-again boyfriend, Frankie, was willing to help out. Somehow, the thought of a mob family didn’t fit my mental image of cozy mysteries but the author wove everything into an enjoyable story with a good mystery plotline. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
