Would you recognize a serial killer if you talked to one every single day?
    
    Starving artist Lia Anderson doesn't. Neither do her friends at the Mount Airy Dog Park. Then the violent death of Lia's newly-ex boyfriend brings Detective Peter Dourson onto the scene. Peter penetrates the close-knit group of dog lovers with the help of Viola, the dead man's dog. The more he learns, the more he is convinced that someone is not who they seem. As his investigation uncovers secrets, a grieving Lia fights her growing attraction to the laid-back detective. Meanwhile, a killer hides in plain sight, desperate to stay ahead of the investigation-no matter who has to die.

Rachel And Benny by storytellergrimm

Rachel has always been a lover of dogs, but her demanding career and life have kept her from realizing her dream of owning one. Now in her mid-40s, she finally adopts Benny, a small black dog who quickly becomes her closest companion and source of happiness. Benny fills Rachel's life with purpose, and together they navigate the peaceful, if somewhat indifferent, neighborhood they call home. But their bliss is short-lived when a violent encounter with a hostile neighbor changes everything. The man, known for his erratic behavior, brutally assaults Benny one day during a walk, leaving Rachel heartbroken and desperate. Despite her efforts, the legal system delivers only a slap on the wrist for the man responsible, and Rachel is left grappling with anger, guilt, and a thirst for justice. As her grief festers, Rachel's pain turns into a dark obsession. No longer content with the law's ruling, she embarks on a dangerous path of revenge, determined to make Benny's attacker suffer. But as her plans spiral out of control, Rachel must confront the monster she's becoming-and the price she's willing to pay for her beloved dog's justice.
