Dog walker-turned murder investigator Matilda Smithwick is stressed out. Thankfully, her best friend Dottie has the perfect solution–a weekend getaway to a private island off the coast of Maine. When one of the guests is found dead in the wine cellar, Dottie volunteers Maddie to hunt for the killer among them. No easy feat on a remote island with no internet or cell phone reception. Add in Dottie’s questionable assistance, an impending storm, a captive and unruly pool of suspects, a growing body count and Dottie’s insistence that the party must go on, and Maddie certainly has her hands full. Can Maddie stay out of trouble long enough to catch a killer? Hounded is the third book in the Matilda Smithwick Mystery Series.
