The Wagging Tail Mystery series by Cindy Bell is a cozy crime and mystery series that began in 2018 with Summer Snoops and Cozy Crimes. With fourteen books published through 2024, the series combines dog-themed settings with murder investigations. Titles like Murder at Pooch Park, Murder at Corgi Country Club, and Murder at Poodle Place give a good sense of the format: each book places a new mystery in a different canine-related location.
The series has been published at a steady pace, with several entries appearing each year through the early 2020s. Holiday-flavored installments like A Merry Murder at St. Bernard Cabins and A Merry Murder on Ruff Road add seasonal variety. The most recent book, Murder at Beagle Bay, came out in 2024. Reading in publication order is a good idea, since characters and relationships carry over between books.
