Ellie Engleman loves her job as a professional dog walker.
Her special gift, being able to communicate with her
canine charges, makes her one of the most sought-after
walkers in New York City by humans and dogs alike. When one
of her favorite clients, Flora Steinman, invites Ellie to
watch her Havanese Lulu compete in a prestigious dog
show, Ellie is thrilled to get an inside look at the world
of dog competitions.
When Lulu's handler, Arnie Harris, drops dead just as he is
about to put Lulu through her paces, a distraught Flora asks
Ellie to step in and take his place. Suddenly, Ellie is
thrust into the dog-eat-dog world of glitz, glamor, and
mayhem. When her boyfriend, Detective Sam Ryder, is called
in to investigate the suspicious death, Ellie is curious to
know what happened. Who hated Arnie enough to want to kill
him? Who wanted to win the competition enough to resort to
murder? With a little help from her own pound puppy, Rudy,
and the rest of her canine buddies, Ellie hopes she can
point out the killer before any more of her fluffy friends
or their owners are endangered.
In DEATH IN SHOW, the third book in her Dog Walker
Mystery series, author Judi McCoy has once again gone to
the dogs, in a very good way! Not only does she present
an intriguing mystery with lots of action and a healthy
dose of romance, McCoy also gives a very accurate and
realistic accounting of the competitive world of dog shows.
Dog fanciers and mystery lovers will adore this new
addition to McCoy's canine tales.
Professional dog walker Ellie Engleman doesn't know much
about the ins and outs of dog shows. But when one handler is
killed, Ellie will learn that it's a dog-eat-dog world.
Glitz and glamor are de rigueur oat his year's dog show, and
Ellie's soaking it all in as the guest of a client. But
before the dogs and handlers can take their bows-and
wows-one handler dies. So Ellie is asked to fill in and lead
Lulu, one of her dog-waling charges, to victory.
When the death starts to look like foul-play, Ellie's
sometime boyfriend, Detective Sam Ryder, gets assigned to
the case. As she's getting the hang of handling, Ellie tries
to help find out who hated Lulu's former handler. But now
the killer might have it out for Ellie, and she and Sam will
have to dig up the truth faster than a speeding bulldog.
