I have read all of Ms. Berenson's books and they are all great fun, but "Hush Puppy" is her best effort yet. I love each and every one of the characters, and have enjoyed seeing her style evolve and develop. She has become a master at plotting and character development and doesn't cheat the reader by withholding information or parts of the solution.
If you love dogs, you'll love this. If you love a good mystery, you'll love this one.

The nice things about Berenson's "Melanie Travis Mystery Series" is that no reader is left out. You can start with any of the books and fall right in.
I set a record with the reading of HUSH PUPPY...never left my den and even missed dinner!
Berenson leaves you wanting more...the next installment should bring even more fun.
Berenson weaves modern relationship trials and tribulations into this story...making it a realistic read. The single-mom school teacher, Melanie, is such a "deep" character. No KNIGHTS on horseback to save this damsel...she does it all on her own.
Now...when is the next installment????!!!!
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Melanie Travis feels everything is perfect. Her six-year old son Davey is a normal, precocious lad. Her pet poodle Faith is on the verge of winning a dog show championship. She loves her husband-to-be Sam Dreyer, who seems to cherish every moment with her. Melanie even enjoys her job as a tutor at the prestigious Howard Academy.
Life spins a bit downward when Sam's ex-wife appears at the dog show. Melanie is a bit concerned and irritated because she never knew Sam was previously married and the former Ms. Dreyer wants him back. At the school, a child who is not a student seems to appear and disappear until finally the unknown child finds the murdered corpse of the custodian. Melanie vows not to become involved in this murder investigation, but fate decrees otherwise. Someone sets fire to a room where Melanie and Faith are looking at some papers in an attempt to kill her. Melanie feels a link between the murder and the arson exists and she plans to identify it and subsequently the killer before a second attempt on her life occurs.
Beneath the facade of an elite school resides a boiling pot filled with drug deals, blackmail, and murder that rivals anything the other less elite schools have to offer. That concept serves as the focus of HUSH PUPPY. Melanie's relationships with her lover, her son, and her dog add a humanistic feel to the who-done-it. Laurien Berenson has written an amateur sleuth tale that is a delightful addition to a fine animal mystery series.
