The Dog Sitter Detective Plays Dead

The third instalment of the Dog Sitter Detective series now in paperback

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

While filming a small role in Draculania, a gender-swapped remake of Bram Stoker's classic tale, Gwinny Tuffel finds life imitating art in the misty Yorkshire Dales. A cast member is found dead in a locked trailer, a stake through their heart.

With a prima donna, mounting filming delays, and the chaos of caring for a friend's Jack Russell terrier, Gwinny has her hands full. Set against the eerie backdrop of Hendale Hall and its vampire lore, it's clear a flesh-and-blood killer has struck.

Can Gwinny solve the mystery before anyone else finds themselves on the cutting-room floor?
