Author Biography

Laura Quinn learned to bake at her grandmother’s side, a skill that came in handy when she welcomed her paw-ticularly fussy Eurasier. Her hand-crafted dog treats went Hollywood when they were selected to be included in the 63rd Annual Golden Globe Awards® Presenter’s Package. Quinn’s grandmother also inspired her love of mysteries, from reading the complete collection of Agatha Christie’s books to watching Murder She Wrote together on Sunday nights.

Quinn studied writing at The Graduate School of Northwestern University and earned her Master’s Degree from the University of Chicago. Although she earned her Private Investigator training certificate, crime-solving adventures are confined to the pages of her books.

A village is stunned when one of its prominent citizens is murdered during an Independence Day cruise in the sensational amateur sleuth mystery, Three Woofs for the Dead White and Blue (Pawtisserie Mysteries) by Laura Quinn. When her parents retired to Florida, Claire returns to her childhood home in North Haven, an affluent suburb of Chicago. After adopting a lovable Eurasier puppy with a finicky appetite, Claire creates and develops enticing and nutritional edibles that appeal to her dog. Her success with her furry baby inspires Claire to market the delectable treats she creates in her kitchen in her home town. The date for her Grand Opening is set for the Fourth of July weekend. During the festivities, a woman and her lover are poisoned. Claire's friend is the prime suspect. Because the police chief is inept and uninterested in conducting a serious investigation, the real killer is still roaming free in the community. With her friend's life at stake, Claire begins nosing around. However, with her Grand Opening looming, she must divide her time between her new business and sleuthing. What is the murderer's motive? Will they strike again?

Three Woofs for the Dead White and Blue (Pawtisserie Mysteries) by Laura Quinn is a delightful cozy mystery that is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of cafe au lait! With untimely deaths and notorious affairs of the heart, intrigue and scandals are the core of the story. The engaging characters, suspenseful plot, and smashing finale create a captivating and sensational storyline. The bakery for canine companions is a brilliant and innovative concept that is a fantastic backdrop for a modern-day Miss Marple. The Posh Pup recipes added at the end of the book are inspired, and I will definitely be using them in my kitchen! I highly recommend this remarkable "tail" to all dog lovers who are amateur sleuth mystery buffs.
