Hounding a Killer by Kallie E. Benjamin is a cute cozy mystery. My favorite character is Bailey the Bloodhound. I found Pris to be a little off in this book. Pris was too timid, she overreacted, her feelings got hurt easily, and she took things the wrong way (often). It got old quickly (I wanted to recommend that she see a counselor). I did not feel the chemistry between Pris and her boyfriend. They felt like good friends instead of romantic partners. The mystery was interesting with red herrings plus a twist or two. There was a long reveal at the end. I found the pacing to be a tad slow and there were repetitive details. I enjoyed the excerpts from the Bailey the Bloodhound book that Pris was working on. Hounding the Killer is the second A Bailey the Bloodhound Mystery and it can be read as a standalone for those who have not read Sniffing Out Murder. Hounding the Killer is a chaotic cozy mystery with a transferred festival, a departed recluse, heir issues, a missing man, a body found by a bloodhound, and catching a killer.
