Optional RSVP is below\, but not required to attend the event.\n\n \;\n\nPeg And Rose Play The Pon ies\n\nMurder\, She Wrote meets The Golden Girls in the third Senior Sl euths Mystery!  Rival sisters-in-law Peg Turnbull and Rose Donovan spent their summer doing the unthinkable: sleuthing for dangerous suspects and b ecoming (almost) friends. But when a September trip leads to more murder\, it’ll be a miracle if the dysfunctional duo is still a team—and alive —by autumn . . .\n\nFrom the moment Peg arrives in Kentucky\, dragging l evel-headed Rose along for the week-long excursion proves a smart move. Be cause after she brings her canine expertise to prestigious conformation sh ows\, next on the agenda is selling her Thoroughbred broodmare's offspring at a high-stakes yearling sale. And when the ladies arrive to meet the yo ung horse at Six Oaks farm\, something seems off about the place—especia lly Jim Grable\, the yearling manager with serious anger issues . . .\n\nW hile Peg feels comfortable again judging pedigree pups over Labor Day Week end\, Rose judges a shocking new turn of events. Jim has been found dead o n the farm and a young employee needs help convincing police she didn’t kill him. As disjointed clues lead to a list of misdeeds swirling around S ix Oaks\, everyone connected to Jim agrees on one thing—he had it coming . . .\n\nIt isn’t until Peg guides her colt’s journey to the auction ring that she grasps how much Jim had been manipulating the process behind the scenes. Now\, unable to rely on her instincts alone\, Peg must also t rust in Rose’s talents to expose the real culprit. But the two need to h ave each other’s backs before tangling with a killer—a deadly criminal set on halting their dog and pony show for good!\n\n \;\n\nPumpkin Sp ice Puppy\n\nIt’s autumn in Connecticut and there’s a chill in the air \, the fall leaves are a riot of color\, and pumpkin spice is the flavor o f the season. Melanie Travis is perennially busy\, of course—but when th e owner of a local pet supply shop is found murdered\, sleuthing tops her To Do list . . .\n\nBetween taking care of her family and assorted Standar d Poodles\, Melanie is also working as a special needs tutor for Howard Ac ademy\, a private school in Greenwich\, where her younger son attends kind ergarten. This year\, the headmaster has come up with an idea for a school fundraiser. All students will participate in a town-wide treasure hunt\, with grades competing against each other.\n\nTokens shaped like pumpkin sp ice muffins have been hidden in downtown stores. Students will scramble to collect as many as they can in exchange for prizes. At first all goes smo othly\, and the uptick in foot traffic to the stores is a win-win. . . . . Until the pet supply shop owner lodges a complaint. When Melanie stops by to smooth things over\, she instead finds the man dead\, a knife in his b ack\, and his loyal\, ever-vigilant Chow Chow locked in the storeroom.\n\n Over the headmaster's objections\, Melanie is once again drawn into an inv estigation. It doesn't take her long to gather a list of suspects\, from n eighbors balking about the number of rescue Chows the man was fostering in his home\, to the landlord who’d filed an eviction notice against him\, to the bitter ex-wife who is happy he's gone. With the fundraiser soon dr awing to a close and celebrations imminent\, Melanie will have to follow e very clue—before the biggest prize is staying alive . . .\n\n \;\n\n Laurien Berenson is the bestselling author of the Melanie Travis Canine Mysteries and the Senior Sleuths Mystery Series. An Agatha and Macavity finalist\, she’s a four-time winner of the Maxwell Award\, presented by the Dog Writers Association of America. She and her husband live on a farm in Kentucky surrounded by dogs and horses.
