THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
A Kiki Lowenstein Mystery Novella
When craft store owner Kiki Lowenstein takes her Great Dane Gracie to a "Shots with Santa" pet photography session, she expects nothing more than a cute holiday photo. Instead, she gets a mysterious dog bite and front-row seats to a murder investigation. When her friend Melody emerges as the prime suspect, Kiki vows to help. That leaves this amateur sleuth piecing together shredded documents while dealing with a potential rabies scare and preparing for her Holiday Crafting Extravaganza.
