Unleashed by Emily Kimmelman
There has been a deal floating around on Facebook for this series of books by Kimmelman. Pay what you want for 8 books. The minimum you can pay is $8. I thought why not.
The book is about Joy and her dog blue and the murder they stumble upon while Joy is performing her new job as a dog walker. Joy's life is a mess. She just got fired from her job as a barista. She stumbles into the job as a dog walker. She has broken up with her boyfriend and gets the dog Blue to cope with the heartache. She drinks too much. She sleeps around. She doesn't have much going on.
But she wants to find out why this guy was killed in the alley. Mainly because people are telling her to stop and her life is being threatened because she is being nosey. It's kind of a rough first novel. Some of the interrogation seems are the opposite of organic. The author just handing out information rather than weaving it into the story. It's kind of clunky.
And the whole murder plot is very absurd. I came to the book for the dog Blue but there wasn't much of Blue in the book despite the fact he appears prominently in the ad copy.
But it is kind of well written. The characters are engaging and there is enough action to keep me turning pages. Hopefully they will get better.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
