A Greenwich Village PI and her pit bull hunt down killers in these three smart, witty mysteries from a Shamus Award winner. In This Dog for Hire, the debut of New York private detective Rachel Alexander and her pit bull, Dashâshort for Dashiellâa hit-and-run leaves a local painter dead and his show dog, a basenji, temporarily missing. Â After cracking that case, Rachel and Dash return in The Dog Who Knew Too Much to investigate a tâai chi teacherâs fatal leap from a window. Rachel suspects thereâs more involved, as the woman would never have left her beloved Akita behind. Â Rounding out the collection is A Hell of a Dog, in which Rachel, a former dog trainer herself, must find out whoâs killing off trainers at a professional gathering at a posh New York City hotel. Â With comparisons to the mysteries of Laurien Berenson and Susan Conant, these novelsâwith âexcellentâ writing and a ânice touch of humorââare an involving, atmospheric read for fans of strong female PIs, especially those with furry sidekicks (Library Journal). |
