Pet Rescue Mystery

review 1: Amateur sleuth! She keeps digging into a murder because a friend of hers is suspect #1. Doesn't that describe most amateur sleuth fiction? This was a fun read, and gave me a bit of an idea how a pet rescue is run. I'd have a hard time not overextending myself to rescue more animals than I could accommodate. Her shelter has the luxury of deep pockets of a benefactor, which allows a bit of time for her to gather evidence herself to clear her friend. Her friend became an animal hoarder, and the book addressed the needs to curtail hoarding while nurturing positive relationships with animals. My daughter's dog is a rescue, and I can imagine it came from a situation similar (although a bit worse) than the woman shown in the book.
review 2: Lauren Vancouver is ... morethe administrator of HotRescues, and once again finds herself in need of her sleuthing skills. Her old mentor, Mamie Spelling, is an animal hoarder, so Lauren assists with the rescue and rehoming of Mamie's animals. However, in addition to helping Mamie, she meets the woman Mamie says has been threatening her, Bethany Urber from Pet Shelters Together, a network of pet rescues. Unfortunately Bethany is found dead, and Mamie is accused of murder, so Lauren has to find answers quickly sometimes with the help of Matt Kingston, the Animal Services Captain. Other characters are a cross over from Linda O Johnston's other series Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter Mysteries, including Kendra and Dante DeFrancisco the CEO of HotPets and HotRescues. This was a good read, and dealt with some of the real problems of small animals that need rescued and rehomed less
