Christmas in Herring was supposed to be quiet. Then Jack found a body-and a puppy.
Chicago homicide detective Jack Church returns to his northern Minnesota hometown hoping to help his widowed mother, spend Christmas with his family, and decide what comes next. Finding a dead man in an abandoned farmhouse was not part of the plan. Neither was the basket of puppies beside him.
One curious chocolate Goldendoodle quickly adopts Jack. Soon named Cocoa, the mischievous pup proves impossible to resist and even harder to keep out of trouble.
When the local sheriff asks Jack to lend his experience to the investigation, he can't say no. But in a town where everyone knows everyone-and nearly everyone has an opinion-separating useful clues from old gossip won't be easy. As Jack follows the trail through familiar streets and complicated relationships, he begins to suspect the truth may lie closer to home than anyone would like.
With old friends, family complications, a touch of romance, and one scene-stealing puppy, Stray Evidence is a cozy mystery with a little edge and plenty of heart-the first Jack and Cocoa mystery.
