Making rounds to homes one wet spring morning, veterinarian Dr. Kate Turner rescues a family's hamster from a vacuum cleaner then visits an estate whose owners breed champion Cavalier King Charles spaniels. Instead of sharing traditional tea with the couple, she confronts a bloody scene of bodies and 27 blue-ribbon dogs running wild. Police initially suspect a murder-suicide, but when Dr. Kate proves the famous best-in-show champion is missing, a darker reality intrudes. She remembers her grandfather saying that there are two motives for murder: love and money.
While treating local pets, Dr. Kate discovers suspects and motives everywhere in this charming town filled with people who wanted the couple dead. Was the couple murdered for the money their champion could bring to another breeder? How is their daughter, anxious to rid herself of the pampered dogs, handling the wealth she inherits? Would the celebrity filmmaker living nearby kill to end a multimillion-dollar lawsuit? Did long-buried personal secrets cause the deaths? And what's going on at the office behind her back? Is Dr. Kate in danger?
First-time mystery writer Eileen Brady's characters, style, and storytelling bring authenticity and atmosphere in this new "pet noir" series.

The characters (human and animal)are interesting and well-drawn, and hopefully will continue into future stories. The narration was okay, Caroline Shaffer does various voices pretty well, though I sometimes felt her inflection was off in a few places. It was a book I had not expected to enjoy as much as I did, but the plot moved along, with a nice balance of conversation, details, never dull, and always kept me wondering till the end. I loved the the animal characters--patients of Dr. Kate's, fun and charming in their own way. I hope this will develop into a long-lasting series.
A good start to a new series

But on this particular rainy day, she arrives at the home of the Langthornes to find their door open, all their 27 Cavalier King Charles show dogs running loose in the house, and the Langthornes dead--gunshot wounds to their chests. She calls 911, and her life starts to get very, very complicated.
No one believes her when she says that the twenty-seven dogs don't include the Langthornes' most valuable dog, Charles Two (or possibly Charles Too; I listened to the audiobook.), is missing. Since the Langthornes refused to either tattoo or microchip their dogs, there's no way for her to prove it.
Convinced on relatively little evidence that the police just aren't taking case seriously enough, Kate starts nosing around, asking questions, and taking notes. Her concern over the dogs spikes when it becomes clear that the Langthornes' estranged daughter Pippi is only interested in dumping them as as quickly as possible, getting as much money as possible for the valuable dogs. Kate's inquiring mind uncovers multiple possible motives for murder. Meanwhile, there might be something funny going on at the veterinary practice. Are they losing clients? Gaining clients? Is this really unrelated to the murders?
Is it really a good idea to go around asking questions of potential murderers?
Kate is a likable, smart character who loves animals and is very, very good with them. Sadly, when it comes to dealing with people on matters unrelated to their pets, she has much less insight and common sense. There's a lot to enjoy here, but sometimes I really wanted to give Kate a good shake.
No dogs die in the course of this novel. Also, in a very nice touch, the daffy chihuahua owner Daphne, makes clothes for her little dog--and Kate, initially somewhat put off by this, takes at good look at them.
And concludes that, in a surprise to exactly no one who has small dogs who get dressed regularly, that these clothes are well-made and well-designed, and could be really useful for dogs who need to be kept from licking and chewing at incisions and injuries. Daffy Daphne turns out to be an indulgent but smart and devoted dog owner.
All in all, I enjoyed this a lot, though there are certainly things to complain about, and I'll probably read more books in the series. It's so rare that small dogs and the owners of small dogsdu aren't portrayed as dumb, annoying fools.
Recommended.
