Expanded Description:
Harry is a man still mourning the loss of his beloved girlfriend, Imogen, who left him suddenly without a word. He’s also the owner of a plump, poetry-loving Lab, Randolph. Like most Manhattan dogs, Randolph spends his days sifting through a world of scents, his owner’s neuroses, and an overcrowded doggy run at the American Museum of Natural History. But now a bereft Harry has drifted into a circle of would-be occultists. Which might not be so bad if one of them wasn’t also a murderer.
But which one? With 100,000 times the smelling power of a human being, Randolph can quickly detect the scents of guilt, anxiety, and avarice—and he has no lack of suspects, from a seductive con woman to an uncouth professor of the decorative arts. Now, to protect his hapless owner’s life, Randolph might have to do the unthinkable—and start training Harry to catch a killer….

| An absolutely delightful mystery book told entirely from the point of view of Randolph, the slightly portly Black Labrador who lives in New York City with Harry, this book had me reading far into the night. His 'real' mistress and Harry's fiance, Imogen, disappeared almost one year ago. Randolph, who is very erudite and a good bit smarter than his owner, puts his wits to solving a murder mystery who the use of Alpha-Bits cereal to leave messages for Harry....who thinks that the messages are from the spirit world. This is a charming book and one wants to believe that it is truly possible. I loved it and it is the first in the Bull Moose Dog Run Mystery Series. I can't wait until the next one is published. |
