Spirits talk to Dakota Lee. They have since she was twelve years old. Now an adult, she is happy with her life as the owner of, Sugar Babies, a small bakery in the quiet town of Santa Mesa, California. Dakota has accepted her gift for the most part and learned to deal with the sometimes demanding spirits.
An early morning run leads to a gruesome discovery. A dead man slumped in his car, and a panicked basset hound pacing beside it.
The dead man is Detective Rod Kane. After a prickly interview with Kane's partner, Detective Blake Scott, Dakota is ready to put the disturbing event behind her.
When she sees the basset hound in the park the next morning everything changes. Coaxing the hound to her, she hears a man's voice consoling the dog. Seeing no one else around, Dakota knows it is a spirit and asks what the man needs.
Detective Rod Kane has refused this dead mother's offer to join her in the beyond. He can't. Not until he finds out who killed him.
He is startled that Dakota can hear him. Nonetheless, she is his answer. When Dakota asks, "What do you need?"
His answer is "Give JB a home and help me find my killer."

Product description

Review

Kind of wow. Barbara Hodges creates a amazing balance between medium intensity suspense and sensitive topics in Hounded by Death.....I look forward to reading more books in what I hope is a series.

This was good fun and has a Bassett hound -what else does a book need? Was also just a good story and kept my attention. The characters were likeabl. I hope this is the first in a series because I will be waiting for the rest.

Interesting and moves right along and I love books with dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars But I do like a good book
Reviewed in the United States on 28 January 2018

I am usually, not a big reader. But I do like a good book, when I have the time. I did enjoy reading this book, and once I started, I read until the end. Snuggled up in bed with my basset hounds (and a visiting Chihuahua). The story was not what I would have expected, but it had a lot going on, interesting characters and it held my interest until the end. Besides that, my hounds were happy to have me to read to them.

I spent an enjoyable Sunday reading Hounded By Death. Suspense mixed with the supernatural, interesting plot and characters, including the hound, kept me reading all day.
