Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
After accidentally treating her in-laws to a peep show upon their very first meeting, and having a catfight with her husband’s vengeful ex, legal investigator Sara Townley hopes her subsequent assignment is a simple one. So she takes on a case of stolen identity—that finds her in a seedy back street. Then Sara narrowly escapes becoming a casualty—a fate awaiting her one and only witness. In the meantime, Sara seems to have picked up a sidekick: a big, grey Labrador who shows up at every turn.
And since her only lead is growing cold in the morgue, maybe following the dog’s nose isn’t such a bad idea…REVIEW:

I bought this book based on the fact that I had enjoyed the very first book, Catnapped. The premise was good, a quickie marriage to a Navy SEAL. However, in this book, the premise wore thin quickly. The mystery portion of the story was convoluted to the point that I did not even realize what the mystery was. And, as another reviewer has pointed out, the entire book revolved around Sara and Conner's sex life. While I don't mind a little romance, or romantic tension, this was very distracting and did little to further the mystery, or its solution. In fact, in the end, I don't know if there really was a solution to the actual mystery that we were set out to solve at the beginning of the book.
Like the other reviewer, I probably will just borrow the subsequent book from the library and will not continue with the series unless the sex is put in the back seat and the mystery given more page time, and is a much clearer mystery and solution. The mystery is what I happen to read a cozy mystery series for, not for the character's sexual escapades.

This is a great follow-up to Catnapped! Strong story with continued building of the characters underpinned by the authors wonderfully pacy writing style (and brilliant sense of humour) Put a few hours aside, head to your local Starbucks, order a skinny hot chocolate with two pumps of Peppermint (and whipped cream), sit back, relax and read! A great book!

Okay, I'm friend of the author and felt guilty because I haven't had a chance to read her very first book. Right before leaving for a vacation, I ordered her new book, Doggone and COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. One of the most important things in my life is to have the best book for my vacation and this was it. I never read fiction or mysteries and Gabi's writing keep me laughing and anxious for the characters. The characters are GREAT and I found it relaxing to finally put down all those non-fiction books and finally read something fun that took me away into another world. Gabi's writing is fantastic and I've already planned my subsequent vacation so that I can read Catnapped. Janet Spurr, Beach Chair Diaries, Summer Tales from Maine to Maui.

and until the very end, I was ready to blame myself (since I have been somewhat distracted). Then I realized Ms. Herkert wrote this title as if she were writing a legal document (had I not been so distracted I would have recognized it for what it was immediately as I worked in the biggie law firms in Manhattan)and we should all be aware that legalese is most unpleasant on any sheet of paper..
Ms. Klausner's reviews have for some time been less than forthcoming and for a "professional" I have to say I find it most disconcerting, to the point where I actually sent her an email many many years ago, stressing how unreliable her "opinions" had become to me. She never responded..LOL
I purchased Doggone as soon as it hit the shelves based on how much I enjoyed Catnapped....oh well, that will be the last I read of Herkert's titles....The reviewer before me was much more accurate in assessing this book to the point where I cannot add much more than this....I agree with all the points made in that review....if read it you must, try saving some moolah and borrow it from your local library.
Oh, and I STILL haven't read Ms. Klausner's review but I could not avoid seeing her famous (or should I say infamous) 5-stars near her name...so very meaningless.

The plot is so confusing I lost track of John and Charles and finally Edward. The main theme of this book is sex and the mystery is completely secondary. The dog named Pavarotti is almost not there and appears so infrequently that the title seems a misnomer. The writing style is not smooth...the sexual innuendo runs constantly through every thought and conversation which makes for choppy reading. I lost track of threads so many times I gave up and just plowed on through to the unsatisfactory conclusion. It is not a horrible book, but not too good. I didn't read her very first in her pet series, but I don't think I'll bother unless someone gives to me.
