My To-Be Read List is a meme hosted by Because Reading is Better Than Real Life where at the beginning of the month visitors can choose which book I’ll be reading this month. On the first saturday of a month the poll will be up, then on the second saturday of the month I’ll announce the book that won and on the last saturday of the month I’ll post my review of the book.

Last week you could vote for which book you wanted me to read this month. while death by Chocolate Lab started out on top and stayed there, the other ones came very close. here are the amount of votes each got:
– Kneaded to Death (A Bread Shop Mystery #1) by Winnie Archer – 6 votes/ 30%
– Murder at the Fortune Teller’s Table (A Kelly Jackson Mystery #3) by Janet Finsilver – 6 votes/ 30%
– Death by Chocolate Lab (Lucky Paws Petsitting Mystery #1) by Bethany Blake – 8 votes/ 40%

The Winner

Death by Chocolate LabDeath by Chocolate Lab (Lucky Paws Petsitting Mystery #1)
by Bethany Blake

Blurb:
Pet sitter Daphne Templeton has a soft spot for every stray and misfit who wanders into the quaint, lakeside village of Sylvan Creek. But even Daphne doesn’t like arrogant, womanizing Steve Beamus, the controversial owner of Blue Ribbon K-9 Academy. When Steve turns up dead during a dog agility trial, Daphne can think of a long list of people with motives for homicide, and so can the police. Unfortunately, at the top of the list is Daphne’s sister, Piper—Steve’s latest wronged girlfriend.

Certain that Piper is innocent, in spite of mounting evidence to the contrary, Daphne sets out to clear her sister’s name—and find Axis, Steve’s prize-winning chocolate Labrador, who went missing the night of Steve’s death. Aided by Socrates, her taciturn basset hound, and a hyperactive one-eared Chihuahua named Artie, Daphne quickly runs afoul of Detective Jonathan Black, a handsome and enigmatic newcomer to town, who has no appreciation for Daphne’s unorthodox sleuthing.

Can a free-spirited pet sitter, armed only with a Ph.D. in Philosophy and her two incompatible dogs, find the real killer before she becomes the next victim?

    • Yes the other two stayed very close, even though this one was in the lead the whole time. It’s fun to see the vote totals.

    • I hope it’s a good one and chocolate in the title is always a good thing ;). I hope I can read the fortune teller one as the first two books in that series were good.
