About this ebook

Werecougar Lily Mason has sworn off investigating crimes in Moonrise, Missouri. Now that she’s a college student with two jobs and officially the girlfriend of animal activist Parker Knowles, she’s too busy for drama and danger.

Besides, the last case nearly cost her everything, including her life.

At least until her friend, the elderly Opal Dixon, breaks a hip and must recuperate in a nursing home. Opal has been spending all her time complaining about her annoying roommate, her idiot doctor, and the laundry service that keeps losing her clothes. So, Lily is less than convinced when Opal insists a nurse’s suicide is really foul play.

Still, to ease her friend’s fears, Lily agrees to look into the situation. With her loyal dog Smooshie at her side while she delves into the case, Lily soon learns that it’s not all Bingo and low-sodium diets at Moonrise Manor.

And when Opal’s suspicions make her the next target, Lily realizes she’s running out of time to save her friend…and stop a desperate killer.

Lily is getting her Veterinary degree, working and volunteering. She's way too busy to investigate any more murders, so she tells her elderly friend who swears the suicide of one of the rehab's nurses was a murder. She could say no to almost anyone else. Especially when some more things happening with no answers. Smooshie, Lily's big old sweet pup, shows her cute self, her boyfriend, Parker, her gal pals plus some more people get involved to figure it out. Was she killed or did she take her own life? Lily wasn't born to have friends and family. She's a warecougar. Born alone but she likes the town the people and Parker. And so will you. Although there are references to other adventures, this book is complete and all the characters introduced to make the story complete. There is plenty of intrigue and humor as the investigation progresses. I recommend it to cozy fans, PNR fans, romance fans. Five-star fun.

Opal and Pearl have cracked me up in previous books and I am glad to see Opal as a highlight in Prune Pit Murder. Opal is a feisty lady with some things to say and when she says it’s murder, then it’s time for Lily and Smooshie! Add in Parker, a little Uncle Buzz & Nadine, and other flavorful characters and we’ve got a funtastic mystery! I so enjoy the antics of Lily as she goes about solving the crimes. I love Smooshie to death (not literally). The twists in the story were a surprise and kept me reading. While this is part of a series and does include characters from precious books, it was readable as a stand-alone. I didn’t feel that anything would be missed by not reading the others first. However, reading the first would just add to how lovable some of the characters are as well as the town dynamics.

Even though Lily swore off murder investigations, they just seem to find her! Renee George has become of my favorite authors since I discovered her books. The characters are believable and have great personalities and relationships. I love how this series promotes Pitt Bull rescues too being a fur baby mom and animal lover. This whole series is amazing, you can read them separately, but I recommend reading them in order....just to avoid any confusion. Lol. This story is fast paced, with many twists and surprises (one actually made me cry, but you have to read it yourself...I’m not telling!!!). I recommend this book and all the others to anyone over 13 who like paranormal stories. WONDERFUL READ!!!! I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!!

About Renee:

USA Today Bestselling author Renee George writes paranormal mysteries and romances because she loves all things whodunit, Otherworldly, and weird. Also, she wishes her pittie, the adorable Kona Princess Warrior, and her beagle, Josie the Incontinent Princess, could talk. Or at least be more like Scooby-Doo and help her unmask villains at the haunted house up the street.

When she’s not writing about mystery-solving werecougars or the adventures of a hapless psychic living among shapeshifters, she is preyed upon by stray kittens who end up living in her house because she can't say no to those sweet, furry faces. (Someone stop telling them where she lives!)

She resides in Mid-Missouri with her family and spends her non-writing time doing really cool stuff...like watching TV and cleaning up dog poop.
