The Dog Town USA series takes a simple but effective premise: each book names a dog breed in the title alongside a crime. Mutts & Murder (2015), Bulldogs & Bullets (2016), Corgis & Conspiracy (2020), and Pyrenees & Poison (2023) are the four entries, spread across nearly a decade of publication.
The books fit squarely in the animal-themed cozy mystery tradition, where the presence of dogs gives the story a consistent texture and attracts readers who want that extra layer alongside the crime plot. Muldoon keeps the tone consistent with her other series, favouring small-town settings and an amateur detective approach.
The eight-year gap between the second and third books suggests this is a series Muldoon returns to rather than her primary focus, but with four complete entries it offers a satisfying run for readers who enjoy the format.
