Diese Krimiserie zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass alle Bücher gleichbleibend nett sind. Es wird ganz auf die übliche Ballerei, Blut und tödliche Gefahr verzichtet. Anstatt dessen freut man sich über die netten Charaktere in diesem Krimi. Perfekte Einschlaflektüre!

good plot but wooden characters
4. Mai 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I generally love dog mysteries, because I love dogs and I love mysteries. Even with that going for it, I found this novel very hard to get into. In fact, I didn't completely finish the book. It was my first book by Berenson, and perhaps I should give another book a try, but I probably won't. The plot was okay, but unfortunately it was just that -- okay. I found the main character Melanie to be somehow emotionless, even at times slightly unlikable. A little more joy in living would have helped this character a lot.
The only time the book ever seemed to come a little bit alive was when the dogs became engaged, but it was just lukewarm even then. I'm sure others feel differently about it, perhaps it's just how it strikes the reader.

I love these books
5. Februar 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I was so delighted when I found this series. I don't normally pick mysteries, but am an avid dog-lover.
I do not agree that Melanie "...wear(s) on your nerves because she is so obstinate about EVERYTHING." She's tough; she's had to be, as most single parents do. She's also had a lot of change in her life just in the year that's taken place in the books.
This series, and author, are on my favorites list.

Good story, but I was offended
30. Oktober 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
While I enjoyed the book overall, I have to say that I was a bit offended by some things I read. I am a groomer, and in the story, the heroine makes it clear that she does not think highly of groomers. She visits a grooming salon, and much was made of the fact that the groomers were unprofessional, slovenly, and dumb. It was mentioned at least twice that groomers do not know how to "really" groom any show Poodle, and that all they do is "tie some bows on the ears and send them home." She doubts that groomers can do quality work on any show dog, especially since her Aunt Peg, a show dog handler, spent several hours doing a show trim on her Poodle.
Well, pardon ME. When a show dog handler can trim an entire poodle by hand, with no pieces sticking out, and scissor a perfect top knot, THEN you can tell me that the show dog handler has true grooming skills. As far as I am concerned, the extent of the grooming *they* do consists of mostly brushing and fluffing. I don't think it is necessary to snidely comment on the so-called "non-skills" of pet groomers just because the majority of dogs we groom do not end up in the show ring. Talk about snobbery.
Yes, I know this book is fiction, but apparently the author's opinion of groomers is not. This 'groomer-bashing' occurred in another of her books, and I just cannot ignore it anymore. I will be the first to admit that there ARE many slovenly, unprofessional groomers out there. But the things I read in this book offended ME, and I happen to be the consummate professional groomer. I work pretty darn hard, and I don't need some author constantly belittling my industry. It's certainly not fun to read.
The fact that I gave the book 3 stars despite this gripe? I guess I was feeling generous. Who would've thought a groomer had ANY redeeming qualities, right?
