Kurzbeschreibung
Normally Holly winter wouldn't be caught dead in a place like Puppy Luv -- a mall pet shop that's no doubt an outlet for the puppy mill industry and a hotbed of forged papers, broken promises and mistreated animals. But a hot tip on a malamute pup suddenly has Holly charging to the rescue and panting to put the owner out of business. Trouble is, she's not the only one who has a bone to pick with Diane Sweet. in a matter of hours the puupy love proprietess is gruesomely murdered.
When Holly links the killing with the disappearance of another malamute -- an adorable live wire named Missy -- she digs up startling evidence that soon leads her into the fiercely competitive and deadly underworld of dog breeding. A place where her biggest fears are realized. And where her animal instincts are all that can save her.

I started on the Susan Conant books because I was checking the liberary for some malamute books, but this time, other than the ordinary books I've read thousands of times, I found a different book! And a mystery too! I'd never read the series, let alone heard of them, I started reading this book, never reading the previous ones.
Although the previous books had information on the characters from reading a later book, the characters were well developed from the start, not always refering to a book before.
Reading this book first, it spoiled me. I finished this book thinking, man there's gotta be another one or I'll blow up this is soooo good. I came onto Amazon and found there was a series, I imediately bought the first 4. Like I said, Bloodlines spoiled me, I expected somthing and great and breathtaking as this book, but there is none. In the first books I found myself scanning over chapters not even suffering from not getting the information. None so far have lived up to the greatness of Bloodlines.
Another thing that struck me was that Holly was actually getting physical with getting info for her column in this book, usually she would call around or walk around getting info, but this time she snuck around the mills and the pet stores with suspense of getting caught. This book has the real truth about puppy mills, and after reading this book I have done many research and helping to close down Pupppy mills
Also this book had lots on the malamute my all time favorite animal in the world, Holly was working on rescue.
I will keep on reading the books waiting for one that can match this one.

Bloodlines was an absolute pleasure to read. What a fantastic job of research into the dark side of dog breeding. Susan Conant is one of my very favorite authors. If you love dogs this book is a must read!
Format:Taschenbuch
S. S. van Dine, once wrote, roughy, "A detective story must have a detective, and a detective is not a detective unless he detects. It is his job to run down the clues that lead to the identity of the guilty person, and if he does not identify the killer based on said clues, he has no more solved the case then the schoolboy who gets the answers out of the back of the arithmetic." At first, I thought this rule was completely obvious, but, this book illustrates why such a rule is important.
If you view this as a mystery about illegal dog breeding, then Ms. Winters actually does a decent job investigating and the book does satisfy the above rule.
Unfortunately, Ms. Conant found it necessary to add in two murders. They add nothing to the story; in fact, they get solved because Ms. Winters, in blundering around, happens to stumble upon the answer. Even worse, after the killer is caught, her final explanation makes little sense, and nearly matches _The Five Red Herrings_ and _The Cat who Read Backwards_ in terms of total incoherence of any mystery solution.
In short, if you want to read about dogs being mistreated, read it, but if you want a good mystery, stay far away.

Very disappointed by author's fat bigotry
I've enjoyed the other books in this series, but not this one. I'm fat (212 pounds) and I really didn't appreciate the way Holly Winter reacted to having the fat female malamute... Lesen Sie weiter...
