When Pru Marlowe takes a
dog for a walk, she doesn’t expect to find a body. But Spot, a service
dog in training, has too good a nose not to lead her to the remains of
the beautiful young woman, and despite her own best instincts, Pru can’t
avoid getting involved. The young woman seems to have been mauled by a
wild cat – and Pru knows there have been no pumas in the Berkshire woods
for years. And while Wallis, Pru's curmudgeonly tabby, seems fixated on
the idea of a killer cat, Spot has been sending strange signals to
Pru’s own heightened senses, suggesting that the violent death was
something more than a tragic accident. As motives multiply, a cougar of a
different sort sets her eyes on Pru’s sometime lover, and another woman
disappears. With panther panic growing, Pru may have to put aside her
own issues – and her own ideas of domesticity – to solve a savage
mystery.
I will be honest, this is the first book in this series that I have read and I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by this little treasure. I found that I enjoyed the characters and Pru's interactions with the animals had me laughing out loud. I love that in a book. This was a great mystery with a surprising villein. The author kept me on my toes throughout. Great job.
