When a blizzard traps Lucy Belle and Tinker Belle at the luxurious Grand Barkentine Resort in the Swiss Alps, the only thing warmer than the fire is the competition for the Alpine Agility Cup. But when the gleaming trophy vanishes overnight, every guest becomes a suspect — from the diva poodle who won’t step outside to the corgi twins whose rivalry could melt snow.
With pawprints disappearing into the drifts and alibis as flimsy as fresh powder, the Canine Detectives must navigate secret backrooms, whispered grudges, and a clue hidden in a snow sculpture before the storm clears. If they fail, the thief — and the truth — could vanish forever.
A cozy winter whodunit packed with charm, humor, and the occasional snowball to the snout, The Great Barkentine is perfect for fans of light mysteries, canine companions, and heartwarming adventures.
