Dead and Buried — Melissa Cleary

TAKE A BITE OUT OF CRIME
Walter Hopfelt's job was keeping the Rodgers University campus safe from crime. But now the security chief's career is over -- along with his life. His mysterious death has opened a can of worms...and reopened the case of a student's alleged suicide. Fortunately, Jackie and Jake are on the scene. Unfortunately, so is Jake's son, Maury -- a very large (and very undisciplined) mastiff puppy. It's up to Jackie to restore a sense of security at Rodgers U. But if she can manage to train the misbehaving Maury, trapping a murderer should be a cinch...

HAVE DOG, WILL INVESTIGATE

But she's fast discovering that her real talent lies in detection, especially with the ex-police dog Jake at her side. Now they're nosing around together -- in a terrific mystery series!
