Lauren is on hand to observe a movie that stars oodles of poodles, a movie about rescued poodles no less. Also on hand are Laurens friend, veterinarian Carlie Stellan and Grant, a handsome representative from the American Humane Association. They are all there to insure no animals are hurt or in danger during the movie production.
Unfortunately the movies director didnt have anyone protecting him. He was killed in a very suspicious hit and run accident after arguing with several people about animal safety. Carlie was one of the more outspoken people speaking up for the animal and that lands her in the hot seat as a prime suspect. Lauren start to search through the oodles of clues to try to save her friend and catch a killer before someone else is put out of the picture.

I love this series because the author takes on real things that happen with animals and builds her intriguing mysteries around that issue. I have wondered for years about animals on television and movies and will now look for the No Animals Harmed tagline.
Lauren really does step in it in this installment, so much so that a few of the members of the production crew really dont even want to be around her. She was clearly stumped by this mystery until the clues started to come together. I like that in a story when the protagonist struggles with the evidence and suspects and things dont just magically fall into place. The struggles with Matt and Laurens relationship scare me a bit. Is their relationship strong enough to weather the ebbs and flows of the life that keep getting thrown at them?
Great Characters Great Animals Great Setting Great Plot Great Cozy Mystery!!!

I have tried reading this Pet Rescue series. This is the fourth book in the series and it is now been 2 months since I started this book and I have made it 100 pages.
The first three in the series, I did not care for but I like the author and kept thinking it would get better. I am now done with the series, I should have stopped at 1.
Johnston is a good writer but this series does not engage the reader. I enjoyed the Kendra Ballantyne Series and did not like the Alpha Force series.
