PARTNERSHIPS CAN BE MURDER

USA Today bestselling author Connie Shelton brings the third installment in her popular pet-sleuthing mystery series. Charlie Parker returns from her Hawaiian vacation to find her older brother Ron involved with a much younger woman. The more Charlie sees of cute Vicky, the more she realizes how deceitful Ron&rsquo,s new love is. Is it simply a case of male mid-life crisis, or is there something more devious going on?  , Meanwhile, Charlie doesn&rsquo,t have much time to ponder Ron&rsquo,s problems. Her friend Sharon Ortega is a partner in a restaurant business with David Ruiz. When David turns up dead, an apparent suicide, Sharon comes to Charlie for help. Sharon&rsquo,s problem is a double-edged sword. If he did kill himself, David&rsquo,s life insurance won&rsquo,t pay and Sharon will probably lose the restaurant because she can&rsquo,t afford to hire a replacement. But if he didn&rsquo,t kill himself, then it was murder, and Sharon could very well find herself a suspect.  , Charlie and her sidekick dog, Rusty, partner up to work on the case, a move that ultimately puts them both in danger.  , &ldquo,Charlie is a fabulous amateur sleuth.&rdquo, &ndash,Midwest Book Review  , &ldquo,Shelton again has done a superb job.&rdquo, -- Albuquerque Journal_,
