About this ebook
A charming tea room owner and her excitable talking corgi will need to work together to bring a killer to heel in this delightful cozy mystery.
For ex-accountant Emma Reed and her beloved corgi, Oliver, opening Reed’s Classic Tea & Cakes in the idyllic village of Trevena in Cornwall has been the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Her cakes are popular, she has a host of wonderful new friends, and even a potential new romance. There’s even time left over for plenty of long country walks with Oliver, who is not only the cutest corgi on record (at least to Emma), he happens to talk (at least to Emma). What could be better?
How about being asked to help cater the local Daphne DuMaurier literary festival?
But when the festival organizer is found dead and foul play is suspected, Emma, Oliver and their friends are plunged deep into a poisonous mix of village jealousy, family tension, money troubles, and secret love affairs. Emma quickly realizes it’s up to her and her intrepid corgi to discover a canny killer whose bite is worse than their bark.

4 Star review Murder Always Barks Twice by Jennifer Hawkins Jennifer Hawkins is a new author to me. Murder Always Barks Twice was an entertaining cozy mystery that ticked a lot of the boxes for me. I have to say I was intrigued when I learnt that the heroine's sidekick is her corgi Oliver, who talks to her. Emma Reed has opened Reed's Classic Tea & Cakes in the village of Trevena in Cornwall, fulfilling a long planned dream. Trying to get the business established and running successfully , she has made friends and is excited when she is asked to assist in the catering for the Daphne DuMaurier literary festival. Excitement turns to horror when a suspicious death occurs and Emma is asked to do some investigating along with her friends and Oliver by her side. There were numerous twists and turns within the story and I found Emma easy to relate to and I liked her. This is a quirky mystery with characters who were engaging that kept me invested in the story. I really enjoyed this cozy mystery and am looking forward to reading more from Ms. Hawkins. I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley.
