Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:

A girl and her dog exact justice with a vengeance.

Blue was as tall as a Great Dane but much skinnier, with the snout of a collie, the markings of a Siberian husky, the ears and tail of a shepherd, and the body of a wolf with one blue eye and one brown. Crouched in a sitting position, unable to lie down or sit up all the way, he looked at me from between the bars, and I fell in love.

I adopted Blue from the shelter, and everything in my world changed...

When I brought him home I wanted something in my life that was worth holding on to. I'd just broken up with my boyfriend and picked up a dog-walking gig on the Upper East Side. I was young and lost...normal. I was still Joy Humbolt.

I'd never even heard the name Sydney Rye. Never seen a dead body, gotten beat up, or shot at. I didn't set out to be a heroâ??couldn't have imagined becoming a vigilante. But I don't regret what I've done... the lives I've saved or the ones I've taken.

P.S The dog does not die in this series.

*The Sydney Rye series has been downloaded over a million times. Recommended for adults who love brave female protagonists, dogs, and action-packed series that you can't put down until you've read them all. If you have trouble with the f-bomb, violence, or sex (not graphic but out of wedlock).. then you shouldn't start this series....it's just not your thing. If you're looking for your next adventure, you've found it.*

Not nearly as good as I was expecting from the hype. Will read the second, but if it is more of the same, no more ( )

Joy Humbolt starts her life afresh after been fired from her job, and dumping her boyfriend and buys a dog-walking business where one of her dogs soon discovers the body of one of her clients.
Her troubles have only just begun. ( )

Recommended by a friend. Camp and kicky, half mystery plus enough mess and mayhem to keep me entertained in this pandemic. I plan to keep reading the series to see if it holds, improves, or declines. I like Blue. ( )

I like mysteries, and I like stories about dogs. So I picked up this novel. I really enjoyed reading it. The mystery was interesting. Lots of potential suspects. Towards the end, it got a little silly, with the hunt for lost treasure. And the ending was very sad. But I still liked this, and I intend to read the next books in the series. ( )

Joy Humboldt is going through rather a challenging patch in life. She's finally broken up with her manipulative jerk of a boyfriend. The next morning, she heads off to the pound to adopt a dog--a huge mixed breed she names Blue--but later that day, at her job at a barista at a coffee shop that's not Starbucks, she mouths off to a customer she thinks is being unreasonable. It's really quite reasonable, given her behavior, when her boss fires her on the spot.

But then a neighbor connects her with a friend of a friend, and she buys a dog walking business. Things are looking up, right?

Then she finds one of her new clients dead. The woman who sold her the business has disappeared. And the police seem strangely interested in only certain aspects of the crime.

Sgt. Declan Doyle is very handsome, very kind and gentlemanly, and very interested. He also warns her about the questionable record of the officer who will be heading up the investigation--Detective Mulberry. Mulberry, it seems, isn't too particular about the rules or due process. At least, according to Doyle, who used to be his partner.

Don't let the dog on the cover lure you into thinking this is a cozy. It's much more toward the hard-boiled end of the mystery spectrum. None of the characters, except possibly Joy's brother James and his lover Hugh, are unambiguously people. I liked quite a number of them, though.

No dogs die in the story, though that's possibly a very minor spoiler for one scene. On the other hand, there is mention and some description of S&M sex, though not anything very explicit.

It was an entertaining read, though not more than that, and as mentioned there may be content issues for some readers.

I bought this book. ( )
