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... "This canine cozy is absorbing enough to
delight even cat lovers." --Publishers Weekly "The
mystery keeps the book rolling along, but it's the
entertaining relationships Melanie has with her family that
keep the reader involved." --Romantic Times
