Move to a small seaside town on the California coast. Molly Madison, ex-cop, former PI, and dog wrangler, does just that, wanting to put behind her the murder of her husband, for which she was never fully exonerated. Fortunately, Pier Point is a welcoming community that is perfect for Molly; her golden retriever, Harlow; and Noodle, a neighbor\u2019s enormous, slobbering Saint Berdoodle that Molly semi-adopts. On a morning beach walk, Noodle digs up a woman\u2019s hand, setting in motion a search for the victim and the murderer that again has Molly on the police\u2019s radar.<strong> Rothschild has created the first in what could be a wonderful series.<\/strong> Molly is quirky and totally believable. The community is engaging. And Harlow and Noodle, rooted in real-dog behavior, make great co-stars who lend a great deal to the story. I\u2019m hooked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Live in Massachusetts and need to reinvent your life? Move to a small seaside town on the California coast.
