Cassidy is alone on a very dark, stormy night in a deserted area trying to find a stray dog. She is a volunteer at the local dog rescue along with the office manager of a veterinary clinic.
Flashes of lightning reveal the dog who is scared and wet. Cassidy scoops the dog up, gets in her van, and takes off before a creepy figure in black catches up to her.
While cleaning Spot, as Cassidy names her, she discovers that someone put a lot of white paint on the animal. Cassidy is so incensed by it that she vows to find the one behind it. Finding Spot also causes Cassidy to meet Justin, the handsome game warden, who comes to investigate her.
Justin is a no-nonsense lawman who tells her he will cite her if she attempts to drive since her license just expired. He also asks her out!
Despite them having a great date, things start falling apart when more painted dogs start showing up. Cassidy wants to investigate and Justin thinks only the authorities should be involved. Will this cause their new relationship to fall apart? Red herrings and clues abound.Humor and a serious mystery combine to make a fun, clean tale. Lots of twists and suspects will keep you trying to guess who is behind it all. This story stands alone despite being part of a series, and includes the character’s faith. You will enjoy this five-star book. It is recommended to fans of mysteries, contemporary stories, and fun!
