A Dog Lover's Mystery

review 1: Brute Strength by Susan Conant is the latest in her highly entertaining mystery series set in Boston. The sleuth is Holly Winter, a writer for a dog magazine, a woman passionate about all things canine. Holly trains and shows her gorgeous Malamutes. Fair warning, you have to seriously love dogs to appreciate this series. But if you love dogs, this series is a hoot! Holly portrays the sport of dog showing spot on. Brute Strength finds Holly busy with Malamute Rescue, one of the less pleasant tasks of the volunteers is turning down applicants who are not a good fit for this large, beautiful, but not always easy, breed. Someone is making obscene phone calls to the volunteers. A dinner guest has a fatal accident soon after leaving Holly’s home. And her step-mother i... mores acting mysterious. Holly will have to sort it all out. If you like dogs, this is a winner. I always read and enjoy this series.
review 2: Holly Winter, Dog's Life Columnist and malamute owner, is helping with the Malamute Rescue list of potential adopters and not making many friends. Holly trusts dogs, particularly Rowdy, Kimi, and Sammi, her malamutes and her husband's dogs Lady and India. However, it seems that she could use a human friend. Rita, her friend and tenant, had a fight with her boyfriend and went out of town. Kevin, who used to live next door, now lives with his girlfriend. So when she meets another malamute owner, Vanessa, she thinks that she has a new friend. However, things are still going wrong, there's a snippy breeder, an young girl dies in a car crash, an elderly member of her dog-training club dies, and there is intrigue involving her father, Buck, and her beloved stepmother Gabrielle. I really like this series, Holly is someone I'd love to have lunch with and get malamute hair all over me. less
