Summary: Not quite what I'd hoped for
Comment: As both a lover of mysteries and a dog trainer, one of my clients thought that I would greatly enjoy this book. I am sorry to say that I found the writing sophomoric, the plot simplistic, and the attempts at humor fell very flat. The dog training "tips" which my new client found so fascinating were very worrisome to me. I actually brought the book into my training classes as examples of what not to do with dogs. If you enjoy dimestore novels with almost comic-book plots, then this would be an enjoyable read. If you're looking for a serious mystery, then I suggest you look elsewhere.

Summary: Great Characters, Great Story, Great Dogs!
Comment: This is a terrific book in a lot of ways, though I found it flawed in spots. The story had me laughing at times and turning the pages as fast as I could at others. And I loved all of the characters, especially the dogs (wait till you meet Hooch!). The writing style was unobtrusive and easy to read, at least for the most part. But there were sections that bogged down a little, at least for me. Luckily, there weren't many sections like that, just a few. I also read the first book by Kelley and I think he has the makings of a hit series. I will definitely read more books by this author.

Summary: I Want More!
Comment: I really enjoyed reading this novel. I thought it was smart and sassy and funny. There were a couple of great villains, including one that all dog lovers will love to hate-Grant Goodrich, who's on a mission to rid the state of Maine of all pit bulls, Rottweilers, and other "vicious" breeds. Luckily, Jack Field, our hero, comes to their rescue. (He also solves a high-profile murder case.)
The writing style is simple and breezy, yet clearly written by someone with a great deal of knowledge and intelligence. I actually learned a lot from this book.
There are some truly hilarious moments, as well as some that had me on the edge of my seat, and others that are very romantic. Plus, Jack Field is a great character.
And you know something, I kind of missed the characters when I finished reading it. I WANT MORE!!
