In Fairfield County, Connecticut, Bob tells his former wife
Melanie Travis the canine lover that he recently met friendly dog whisperer
Nick Walden. Not long after their chat,
Melanie learns her Aunt Peg and many other affluent owners think the world of
Nick until he translates dog-speak to them.
When someone murders Nick in his home, his sister Claire pleads
with Melanie to look into her sibling’s homicide. Though she has no time to sleuth as she
mothers her eight kids (two human and six poodles) Melanie makes inquiries into
the murder in which the cops peg her aunt as one of several suspects.
The seventeenth Melanie Travis canine mystery (see Gone with the Woof, Hounded to Death and Doggie Day
Care Murder) is a jocular amateur sleuth due to the heroine’s
targeted mirthful mocking retorts to characters like Bob and amusing asides to
the audience. Readers will enjoy the dog
shows (professional and otherwise) and the Death
of a Dog Whisperer amateur sleuthing.
