Talk Doggy to Me


Maggie Shayne - 2007
    Those qualities are more important now than ever before, with a serial rapist stalking the women of his town. A bristly veterinarian who prefers animals to people… She’s more interested in his dog’s looks than the detective’s. And she has good reason for those feelings. She also has a secret that could ruin her practice, should it get out. A secret she’s vowed not to share, no matter what. She can talk to animals… Well, not talk, precisely. She feels them. There’s a connection. Should it get out, it could label her delusional, ruin her reputation and shatter her life. The only witness who can ID the rapist… Is a dog. Now, Macy’s secret is in danger, because she has no choice but to share it. She must find a way to make the smoking hot detective believe her. But there’s more danger than she knows, as the criminal draws near, seeking to silence her and her gift, for good. *This is a novella-length story, part of Maggie’s “Fun-Size Reads” collection. **This is a bit sexier than the author’s usual fare.
