Product Description:
As the dog days of summer turn to the playful nip of autumn's chill, Melanie Travis is ready for a little relaxation. Her Aunt Peg has the perfect solution - a five-day symposium for dog show judges in Pennsylvania's idyllic Pocono Mountains. While Peg and Melanie's sister-in-law Bertie welcome the opportunity to socialize with the dog world's elite, the very pregnant Melanie embraces the chance to simply unwind. But when renowned judge Charles Evans delivers a keynote address that irritates many of the attendees, the symposium's agenda takes a deadly turn. For later that evening, Charles is found floating face-down in the outdoor hot tub.With few clues to go on, the police are baffled. But Melanie decides to take matters into her own hands, suspecting that a cold-blooded murderer may lurk among her fellow dog-lovers...

Once again, Larien Berenson gives us another good mystery. Her characters are true-to-life and so are the animals. It's always enjoyable to read a book by this author.

Pretty cute version of the series, just not quite a good as some of her others. I still look forward to the subsequent one. I think I missed her showing the dogs and being in her own element. The suspects did not seem to be as flushed out and three dimensional as usual.

This series is terrific. The books are so well-written, you will enjoy them even if you are not a dog lover. If you are a dog lover, you will love the author's hilarious insights into dog ownership and dog shows. The characters are hysterical and likeable, the mysteries are well developed, and there is enough "real life" issues to keep the books from being cheesy. You won't be disappointed.

Berenson's latest novel, a type of "closed-room" mystery set in a mountain resort, serves up the usual dog world shenanigans. But what I appreciate most about the series is the basic decency of the main characters (what I wouldn't do for an "Aunt Peg" in my family!). The small-town atmosphere of Melanie and Sam's world is frankly refreshing;
it's a place where Melanie's very first husband co-exists nicely with her second, and her formerly aimless brother finds true love with the gorgeous handler, Bertie and even establishes a thriving business for himself. And then there's Aunt Peg...with her critical eye yet unconditional love. I'm looking forward to the subsequent installment as the Travis/Driver family grows!
Rated by buyers -
I've loved each book in the Melanie Travis Mysteries series, and this book doesn't disappoint. The only things I really missed in this book were the poodles! But don't worry, "Aunt Peg" finds a stray German Shepherd for you to worry about, and a pampered little Chihuahua saves the day for its owner.
