This book was ok. I wasnt really impressed with the writing style,(dual authors) and at times the plot seemed slow moving and repeatitve. The constant mentioning of the main charcaters' 4 (count'em 4) late husbands was redundant and un-nessasary, It felt like something was missing, perhapps 4 additional books. There was contant mentioning of previously working with the police, doing this, doing that.... WHATEV, lets get back to the task here! LOL However some of the interactions with the animals were absolutely histerically funny. I didnt really connect with any of the characters, and there were some that I flat out just couldnt stand. This is not a series I would rush right out to continue to read.
