Description

Lights, cameras... and sabotage in the kitchen.

Steve Levitan expects summer at the Friar Lake Conference Center to be peaceful-until the Cuisine Network shows up with a full production crew, celebrity chefs, social media dogfluencers, and a brand-new reality show: Dog's Kitchen, where every dish must be safe and delicious for both humans and their dogs.

Steve agrees to put up with the chaos to save his budget...and maybe his job. His golden retriever, Rochester, just wants to stay close to the food.

But as filming begins, things start to go wrong. Equipment fails without explanation. Key ingredients disappear. A star chef threatens to walk. Someone swaps precious truffles, ruins dishes, and injures a staffer in the chaos. If the show collapses, Friar Lake's future might go down with it.

Steve needs Rochester's nose for trouble to follow a trail of suspicious scents. It's a mystery without a murder, but careers, reputations, and futures are at stake. And the truth could cost more than money.

Dog's Kitchen serves up a delightful blend of culinary creativity, behind-the-scenes TV drama, lovable dogs, and light-hearted mystery-perfect for fans of cozy fiction who prefer tension without tragedy and sleuthing with a wagging tail.
