Summary: Dog trainer Holly Winter follows the tracks of an odd breed of dog to an even stranger breed of human when she's enlisted to rein in a dysfunctional New Age couple's over-spirited Aussie huskapoo. But when the wife succumbs to an accidental overdose of mixed meds, Holly becomes embroiled in the family's dirty little secrets, especially when the victim's daughter convinces Holly that it was murder.

Expanded Description:
Dog-trainer Holly Winter, now married to veterinarian Steve Delaney, donated dog-training classes to a fund-raising auction for a Cambridge, Massachusetts, private school. The winning bidders, psychotherapists Ted and Eumie Green, have a 60-pound Aussie huskapoo in dire need of training. Once involved, Holly learns that the dog's lack of obedience skills is only the tip of the iceberg. The Green family is totally dysfunctional. When Eumie dies of a drug overdose, her daughter, Caprice, is sure that it was murder. Unhappy and obese, Caprice knows all the family secrets. The ensuing investigation exposes the quirky community of therapists in Cambridge as well as a complicated web of interpersonal relationships.

| Way over the top!!!, December 12, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Stevie Mathre |
Whoa! Talk about dysfunctional! I can't begin to sort out the neurosis in these characters. In that, I found it way too out on a limb for me to accept the characters. They are from a different universe. Including Anita (whose behaviour was too bizarrely explained. Enough said.)
I enjoyed it, but only with the understanding that it's more a fantasy nightmare, not a mystery that occurs on earth. You know, the last couple books have gotten way too extreme. I would love to get back to the first volumes of the series, where the dogs actually were more central to the story. |
