Description from the publisher:
Pit Bulls are Sweet . . . and that’s no mystery!
(Previously published as The Money Pit by Book Boutiques 2017)

Shifter Lily Mason and her pit bull Smooshie are once again on the trail of a murderer and this time close to home!

Sometimes, trying to be part of the human world can be a real killer. . . Cougar-shifter Lily Mason is ready to put down roots in the human town of Moonrise, Missouri. She only has two problems: her attraction and proximity to Parker Knowles, her boss at the Pit Bull Rescue Shelter, and her need to shift into animal form more than once a month.

When she gets the opportunity to buy a “fixer-upper” outside of Moonrise with plenty of room to get wild without running into easily freaked-out humans, Lily jumps at the chance. Smooshie, Lily’s lovable pit bull and partner in chaos, is eager to participate with the home improvements. Unfortunately, Smooshie’s help includes digging out a mummified body from the living room wall.

Lily is still recovering from the last murder investigation she got involved in–and she’s not looking forward to being in the middle of another one. The case gets even stickier when Lily’s landlord is murdered, rumors of a heist gone wrong run rampant, and Parker’s old high school buddies have returned to Moonrise, thus increasing the suspect pool. Lily’s attempts to become a bona fide citizen of Moonrise might well be thwarted by this newest complication–especially when the murderer sets sights on her.

Murder & The Money Pit, Book 2 of the Barkside of the Moon Mysteries from USA Today bestselling paranormal cozy mystery author Renee George, is a gripping murder mystery that keeps you guessing from beginning to end!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MURDER AND THE MONEY PIT is the second book in the Barkside of the Moon series.  While I believe they would each stand on their own, it is probably still best if they are all read and in the order of release.

The characters are charming and lovable, especially the fur babies.  I love Lily and Parker.  I’d love to find out that there is a way for them to be a couple.  Just because Lily has never heard of a human as a fated mate doesn’t mean is an absolute.  Am I right?

There was plenty of intrigue, romance, and humor to keep me glued to the pages.  I love this series and read this book in one day.  I just could not put it down!

I already have the third book and will be reading it immediately.

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
