It\'s early August in Rosedale, Tennessee, and July December Powell is alone at the historic Booth Mansion, putting the finishing touches on the Showhouse room she designed for tomorrow\'s grand opening.
Two Dogs Lie Sleeping is Book 2 of the Mae December Mystery series, which began with One Dog Too Many..
Mae is torn between loyalty to her boyfriend and her sister as she does her darndest to get the bottom of a case that just seems to involve more and more of their friends and neighbors.
Meanwhile July\'s marriage is imploding, and Mae already has too much to deal with--including a new corgi puppy and Ben\'s four-year-old son.
Ben\'s close relationship with the December family has thrown a wrench in his investigation, forcing him to rely on Detective Wayne Nichols, his deputies, and his office manager Dory to do most of the legwork.
Who shot Tom in the back? What drove him away in the first place and made him stay away, even after his parents were killed in a car accident? What was he trying to tell July with his last breath? The gossip mill is in high gear in the small town of Rosedale, and July is the sister of Mae, a dog breeder and kennel owner who happens to be dating the sheriff, Ben Bradley.
Not just any man, but Tom Ferris, the love of her life, who she hasn\'t seen since he disappeared with no explanation some fifteen years earlier.
A loud noise draws her to the nursery, where a man lies dying.
