Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Holly Winter, a writer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is training her malamute, Rowdy, as a nursing-home therapy dog. At the home, Holly becomes friends with Althea Battlefield, a Sherlock Holmes fan. Althea's sister, Ceci, is in the thrall of an animal psychic, who offers to unite Ceci and her dead dog for a fee. Before the dog materializes, Ceci's grandnephew, a skeptic, is murdered. Inspired by Holmes, Holly, Rowdy, and Althea (along with her admirers, Hugh and Robert) try to solve the murder and determine if the animal psychic is a fraud. Conant's eleventh Holly Winter mystery starts slowly, but once under way, it displays an agreeable mix of appealing characters, well-realized settings, and snappy dialogue. Anyone interested in dogs, spiritualism, or Sherlock Holmes will find much to enjoy here. John Rowen

Barker Street was my first Ann Conant purchase and a disappointment. If you aren't a Sherlock Holmes fan, don't start your interest in Conant books here!
Format:Taschenbuch
Since I am a Sherlock Holmes fan, "The Barker Street Regulars" is one of my favorites in Susan Conant's series of dog lover's mysteries. Holly Winter and her Alaskan malamute Rowdy, who has qualified as a therapy dog, visit the Gateway nursing home, where they meet a 90-year-old woman, Althea, and her friends, Robert and Hugh, all of whom are Sherlockians. Althea's sister, Ceci, is being conned by a woman who calls herself an "animal communicator" and who claims to be channeling messages from Ceci's dear departed Newfoundland, Lord Saint Simon. Then Ceci and Althea's grandnephew, Jonathan, is found murdered in Ceci's back yard. Holly and her Sherlockian friends set out to discover whodunit. In addition to the usual dog lore, this book is chock-full of references and allusions to the Sherlock Holmes Canon: Ceci lives on a gaslit street on Norwood Hill; the tall, evil man whom Holly thwarts in his attempt to drown a cat has a "bulbous forehead"; an obnoxious couple on the dog-show circuit are named Gloria and Scott. (Holmesians will notice one gaffe: Take a look at Holly's account of the plot of "The Copper Beeches" in Chapter 26. Oh well, she has admitted that she's no expert.) If you enjoy a good, humorous cozy mystery, and if you are a dog lover and/or a Sherlock Holmes devotee, you're likely to find this book lots of fun.
Format:Taschenbuch
good read. If you ever read any sherlock holmes stories the references in this book will keep your mind searching. Just like a sherlockian mystery you will be kept guessing to the out come.

A continuously suspensful novel, with Holmsian references.
When you read this, you will never know what will come next. Conant is an excellent writer with decisive descriptions of places, people, and events. Lesen Sie weiter...
