From Booklist
Holly Winter, a Boston dog trainer, writer, and sleuth, has a contract to write a book about Rockefeller heiress Geraldine R. Dodge and her pre^-World War II Morris and Essex dog shows. In researching the book, Holly is drawn into a murder, a case of domestic abuse, and evidence of a Nazi spy ring. This twelfth Holly Winter mystery is filled with facts about dog breeding as well as training how-tos. Conant continues to develop her human and canine characters and to reveal the wonderful museums, parks and cemeteries of Boston. Unfortunately, this work is not as strong as The Barker Street Irregulars ; Conant has trouble weaving together the disparate story lines. Recommend it to devoted fans of Conant and other dog mysteries, but Lanier's Ten Little Bloodhounds (see review, p.1481) is a better example of the canine crime subgenre. John Rowen

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I loved Ms. Conant's early books in the series but lately and in particular, this book, is unbelievably bad. I could not follow the story line, the dog training or any dog topics were almost non-existent, and what type of character Holly is becoming is getting stranger and stranger. The publishers really need to give this author a good editor. This book is very bad and it is a shame that her previous success and her well-known name allows the customer to think they're getting a good read. Disgraceful.
Format:Taschenbuch
Once again Susan Conant has written a book that kept me reading until I finished it. As other reader reviewers have said, I also would have liked to have seen more of Rowdy and Kimi in it, but I also have seen the book reviewers say that they feel there is too much dog stuff in her books. I hope the author will ignore these reviewers. I personally feel that those touches - the dogs, the shows, etc are what makes her books so good, and hope to see more of it in the future. I love all the information I get from her books, always different, always fresh.
Format:Taschenbuch
Susan Conant's books are generally enjoyable, but something went wrong here. Is Holly taking herself way too seriously? Was the whole Geraldine Dodge theme a dull way to keep the plot connected? Why have Holly own a cat and continue to harp about how much she dislikes the ugly cat? (I don't even LIKE cats and this bugged me) This book should have been culled by the editors.

Please, Holly, no more horror stories about dogs!
One of the reasons I often avoid stoies about animals is bacause they die, or are tortured. If I want that kind of horror, there is plenty of it in the real world. Lesen Sie weiter...
