There are dog shows. And then there’s The Poodle Club of
America National Specialty Dog Show. For poodle purists,
it’s the pinnacle of the season, drawing competitors and
spectators from all over the world.
Once in Maryland, Melanie is put to work selling raffle
tickets by the co-chairs of the raffle committee, Betty Jean
and Edith Jean Boone. Sixty-ish steel magnolias from the
South, the reclusive sisters make few appearances. But this
year, they have a silver Toy puppy that has already caused
quite a buzz on the show circuit.
While the poodles remain well behaved, it’s their owners and
handlers who start acting up. And when Betty Jean is found
dead at the host hotel, murder takes center stage. But this
is the PCA—and the show must go on. As Edith Jean staunchly
resumes her duties, Melanie starts searching for clues, and
comes up with a compelling cast of suspects whose actions
prove that in the dog-eat-dog world of showing, a life can
be as easily lost as a blue ribbon. And that unlike cats,
dogs—and their owners—have only one to risk . . .
