Not just dog lovers should enjoy Conant's carefully crafted 17th mystery to feature the Cambridge, Mass., dog trainer and amateur sleuth, Holly Winter (after 2004's Bride and Groom). Soon after Holly agrees to housebreak Dolfo, a golden Aussie huskapoo, for Ted and Eumie Green, quirky therapists as much in need of therapy as their patients, Holly finds Eumie dead of a drug overdose on one of her visits to their home. While the death appears to be an accident, Eumie's daughter from her first marriage, a reclusive, overweight Harvard coed, suspects murder. Ted's moody teenage son from his earlier marriage cares little that his stepmother has died. Plenty of interesting facts about Holly's favorite breed, the Alaskan malamute, coupled with the humorous portrait of the Boston-area therapeutic community, help make this a particularly delightful cozy. (Nov.)

Dog-trainer Holly Winter, now married to veterinarian Steve Delaney, donated dog- training classes to a fund-raising auction for a Cambridge, Massachusetts, private school. The winning bidders, psychotherapists Ted and Eumie Green, have a 60-pound Aussie huskapoo in dire need of training. Once involved, Holly learns that the dog's lack of obedience skills is only the tip of the iceberg. The Green family is totally dysfunctional. When Eumie dies of a drug overdose, her daughter, Caprice, is sure that it was murder. Unhappy and obese, Caprice knows all the family secrets. The ensuing investigation exposes the quirky community of therapists in Cambridge as well as a complicated web of interpersonal relationships. Dog-loving cozy readers may find the canines far more appealing than the humans, but Conant tells her story with good humor. Her fans will enjoy Holly's latest case. Barbara Bibel
