Kurzbeschreibung
Returning to Maine after a blissful honeymoon in Mexico, kennel owner Jack Field and his smart and sexy bride, chief medical examiner Dr. Jamie Cutter, are ready to fulfill a promise made to a new friend they met there. The daughter of retired general Lamar MacLeary asked dog expert Jack to help her father "rewire" his wired wire-haired fox terrier, Molly, whose incessant digging is driving the general crazy. But Jack arrives to find Molly's most recent excavation has unearthed something nobody expected: the bones of a human hand belonging to the general's wife, who supposedly ran off to Mexico twenty years ago.
The police think the distraught World War II hero killed her in a jealous rage, but Jack and Jamie aren't so sure. And in their dogged determination to dig up the truth, the newlyweds begin unearthing hints of corporate fraud, high-level corruption, the terrifying return of a cold-blooded killer, and some buried MacLeary family skeletons that could lead to more death . . . Jack's and Jamie's included.

Nach der letzten starken Folge ist diese etwas schwäche ausgefallen. Der Aufhänger (Bekannte aus den Flitterwochen von Jack Field und seiner frisch Angetrauten) wirkt etwas weit hergeholt und auch die Verbindung zum großen Drogengeschäft ist dieser Serie nicht so angemessen. Trotzdem habe ich dieses Buch gern gelesen, es liest sich flüssig weg, die Spannung hält immer an und die Hunde tun ein Ihriges zur Atmosphäre. Und wenn man diese Serie liebt, wird man es kaufen um mit den Hauptakteuren auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben. Ich freue mich jedenfalls schon auf die nächste Folge.

Just back from his honeymoon in Mexico, kennel owner Jack Field finds himself involved in another murder mystery as he simply tries to do a good deed and check in on a retired general and his dog who has a digging problem at the request of the general's daughter. But the dog has dug up a bone that belongs to a body, the body of the general's wife who supposedly ran off to Mexico twenty years ago. Suddenly government types are tailing Jack and bombs are exploding and one of his employees goes AWOL as Jack finds himself trying to uncover a U.S. Government conspiracy and the murderer before he becomes the next victim.
**** This was an interesting whodunit involving government conspiracy theories that is well written with humor and candor. It is a good read for dog lovers with interesting dog training theories though there are quite a few characters in the story to keep up with which hinders the reading a bit. ****

digging for the truth
10. Juni 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a nice blend of suspense, mystery, and dog lore. I especially like the way Kelley integrates his theories of dog traing into the story itself, So many of the so-called "dog mysteries" are stories that feature a dog and otherwise have nothing to do with dogs. There is also a good deal of narrative detail that,although sometimes slowing the narrative drive,is often interesting. Secondary characters are developed well and appear as real people rather than props for plot development. All in all the book is an enjoyable reading experience that readers of Conant,Berenson,Benjamin,et al will enjoy.

Too busy with too many characters blending
28. Juli 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
Jack Field is an ex-cop, married to Dr. Jamie Cutter, the Chief Medical Examiner. An interesting combination when the ex-cop is also a dog trainer still attempting to solve crimes in which his wife is examining some of the victims. Sound involved? Well, it is!
Retired General Lamar MacLeary has a very disobedient dog for which he needs someone to train this digging monster. When the "digging" turns out to be human bones being unearthed, Jack has a mystery on his hands and this is right up his alley. When the bones are thought to be from the General's dead wife, everything gets quite interesting. From this point, many characters are introduced into the book and the story, while keeping a storyline that is fairly interesting, does get bogged down due to the many involved.
The general is in a coma that actually keeps him safe from those that would hurt him, or kill him. Jack and some friends, some law enforcement, and some animal handlers, take on this case and several other cases that are intertwined. I felt the story could have been a lot better without so many diversified characters trying to do too much. I love dogs and most other animals, so the animal incidents I enjoyed very much, but the story eventually ends with satisfaction. That is if the reader can remember who is who, and what they are doing, in the book.
The book is readable but not one I would recommend as a top read.
