Readers’ Praise for Attorney-At-Paw
When Chrissy’s daddy is found dead, the little dog is sent off to the animal shelter. Enter Autumn Clarke, a sufferer of PTSD who needs help with panic attacks. Chrissy helps her new mommy and Autumn decides that for her to give Chrissy the help she needs, they need to find out who killed her daddy. Enter Detective Raymond Reed. The three, plus Ray’s dog Ace, solve the clues and find the murderer. I was kept guessing until the end, changing my mind several times as to the guilty party. Attorney-at-Paw is a f******d and a mind stretcher.

Loved it! Dogs do indeed have a way of communicating with us that is hard to believe. The two I live with have lowered my blood pressure so that I don’t have to take medication for it any longer. It was a joy to read.

This was a lovely and enjoyable read! Diane Wing’s descriptions are so vivid you can easily visualize and feel what is happening. Her characters are multidimensional and relatable. Looking forward to future adventures with Chrissy and Autumn!
—Judy Levin
Diane has created a heartwarming read for sleuths and dog lovers alike. The story underscores that when one door closes, another door often opens without one realizing it. Love is the greatest healer of all pain. After finding and healing each other, Autumn and Chrissy spread love wherever they go while providing healings and even solving a murder. This book is a quick read that holds your attention and resonates long after you have read the last sentence. If you liked the Nancy Drew series, you will LOVE the adventures of Autumn and Chrissy!

Attorney-at-Paw is a mystery with heart. A quick, f******d, filled with warmth and suspense. Stands with anything from the Hallmark Channel. Not just for dog lovers.
—Tim W. Burke
Attorney-at-Paw is a sure bet for those who love dogs and mysteries. While the genre is not one that I usually read, I’m always looking for a book with a canine hero/heroine. Chrissy fits the bill! Looking forward to the next edition of Chrissy’s mysteries.
—Steven Cohen
I loved this book!! As I read, I felt the bond between Chrissy and her new pet parent. As a pet parent to a Shih Tzu, Ms. Wing has captured the magic and uncanny intelligence of this breed. I loved the locality to the Philadelphia/Bucks County area. I truly appreciated the omission of foul language and intimate s****l suggestion. This book is an easy read and a perfect introduction to continued writings. Very much looking forward to the next installment!

I’m a sucker for a good dog book. Generally, I like to read hardboiled thrillers. But when a good author places a dog on center stage, I can’t resist. Attorney-at-Paw: A Chrissy the Shih Tzu Mystery is a f******d. I thoroughly enjoyed it. But, what can I say? Who wouldn’t like Chrissy?
—Michael Carrier
A f******d: Rin Tin Tin and Lassie would give this murder mystery 4.5 to 5 barks. It’s an easy read that starts out a little slow with a great deal of detail as background and foreground. The plot takes several twists and turns as Chrissy communicates hints - in some surprising ways - from her low point of view. Kids 10 and older will enjoy this book. A must read if you, a loved one, or your friend have had to deal with PTSD.

I love cozy mysteries and this one was a delightful read. Two lonely beings (one human and one adorable canine) are brought together by recent tragedies in their lives. They bond right away and help each other heal by solving a mystery together. The telepathic visions are an unexpected touch. Looking forward to more Autumn & Chrissy mysteries from this author.

Chrissy, a Shih Tzu, might be small, but she’s protective of her now-dead master. A detective on the scene goes and gets his partner out of the car – Ace, a German Shepherd, who takes over and gets Chrissy to move. Detective Reed would like to keep her, and it was pulling on his heartstrings. Instead, he arranges for her to go to a no-kill shelter. Autumn needed to open herself to love again and heads out to adopt one small dog. As she looked at the dogs, the desperation in their barks reminded her of a fatal accident. One look at Chrissy’s dark, sad eyes and Autumn knew she’d be going home with her. The newspaper tells the story and the dog is the only witness, it seems. Autumn decides to look into it and crosses the path of the detective. A very different type of plot, and very well done. The way the clues are revealed is intriguing. I will look for more by this talented author.
