With Buddy’s help, she tries to uncover the real killer. Even after the hunky local sheriff politely tells her to butt out, Marcia keeps poking around. Until the killer finally pokes back... <br>(Note: no dogs die in this series; all the titles are take-offs from classic book, movie or song titles.)
