Publisher's summary

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.

Holes in the story

This series is developing very nicely. Lily Mason gets a loan from her Witch friend, Hazel Kinsey, & buys some property with a fixer upper house on the outskirts of Moonrise, MO. She has already found dead bodies in each of the first two episodes of the series & this story is no exception. Of course neither of the other bodies were found stuffed between the walls of her previous place of abode. Lily is pulling the wallboard from her newly purchased home when her pittie, Smooshie digs the mummified body from the wall. This starts a series of events that bring Lily & Parker to the brink of being murdered. A lot of secrets come to light by story’s end. This tale is fast moving & I couldn’t stop listening until the last words were spoken. Yes, I’ve already purchased the next book in this series. If you’re not bothered by light paranormal, this is a good cozy mysteries choice.

I'm hooked!

I listened to the first book in this series nearly 3 years ago so I didn't remember a lot about it when I started listening to this one. Things that happened previously were referred to in this book but I still think you could listen to this as a standalone. Just like I said in my review of book one, the murder mystery is solved but there are other things that will carry over to the next story and I hope I have time to listen to it soon.

I love Lily's dog Smooshie and I love that she's a pit bull. This breed of dog gets punished for the misdeeds of humans that turn them into mean animals. Pits that are raised in loving families can be wonderful pets.

There were many red-herrings in this story and I didn't guess who the bad guy was until all was revealed near the end of the story. I'm looking forward to finding out how Lily's attraction to Parker continues in the next book. Dara Rosenberg did another fine job performing this story.

Glad I found this series and author

I’ve finished two books in the barkhouse series, and am enjoying them so far. I hope I continue to enjoy the rest of this series, and now I will also look into any other books/series by this author. Thank you~

Great series

I have enjoyed listening to the series. I like the characters personalities, their ethics, and the community that they built to support each other. Great stories and a very good narrator. I highly recommend this series.
