Expanded Description:

When Melanie receives a letter telling her that her Standard Poodle, Faith, is one of five finalists competing to be spokesdog for Chow Down dog food, she's mystified--until her nine-year-old son Davey admits to entering the contest. Melanie and Faith travel to New York for the reception only to find that for some dog lovers, winning is a deadly serious matter. When one of the contestants takes a fatal tumble down a flight of stairs, the police label it an accident, but something smells rotten to Melanie. And with the final decision drawing near, and competition getting downright vicious, Melanie and Faith will have to work fast to sniff out a murderer...and make it home in one piece...

A fun read, May 28, 2008
Reviewer: Stevie Mathre
A child's entry being chosen nationally? OK. And since I feed raw, the whole kibble thing was a bit disgusting...


I would have liked even more character development, and gotten to know better the other contestants around whom the mystery revolves. Mel's relationships with them and with Faith are somewhat superficial, and her focus on the eventual killer made it inevitable. I wanted to get to know the obedience couple... I did have a hard time understanding why some of the contest competitors were there, and the outcome was somewhat glossed over, despite the competition as the setting for the mystery.


A fun read, though, and one of the best of the series.
