Homicides and Hedgehogs

Exotic animals, small town murder, and romance.
What more can a girl ask for? What do two hedgehogs and one dead body have in common?
Me, Natalie Davis. At least until I uncover the murderer. What started as Sheriff Jake Dwyer needing my assistance to identify two prickly cute animals, quickly spiraled into me becoming his self-appointed deputy.
Only don't tell him, because he gets mad at that sort of thing. As if I didn't have enough to juggle between my animal daycare and sanctuary businesses.
Not to mention my dusty love life-it's drier than a dust bowl in the midst of a summer draught. I only hope I can solve the murder in time for the fundraiser, because then Jake will owe me big time, and having the sheriff present always increases the donations.
If the fundraiser fails, I'll have to shut down the animal sanctuary, leaving me with more than one dead body on my hands. Homicide & Hedgehogs is the first novel in "Dusty Paws" an Animal Cozy Mystery series featuring a small town exotic animal sanctuary ran by the lovable Natalie Davis, with a large cast of supporting characters that keep her grounded.
