Maddie mystery trilogy

Patricia B. McConnell

On a 40-acre sheep farm in rural Wisconsin, Maddie has built a hard-won new life training sheepdogs and helping troubled animals—and healing from the trauma of her past. When her friend and mentor is inexplicably shot during a sheepdog trial, Maddie begins searching for answers, only to become entangled in a dangerous mystery involving a half-dead German shepherd, a break-in, and a complicated new romance. As threats close in, she must draw on her deep understanding of animal behavior, her bond with her spirited border collie, and a courage she has fought to reclaim. Blending immersive nature writing, suspense, and compassionate insight into human and animal resilience, this novel launches a mystery series set in the lush Wisconsin countryside.
