A sleuth must find a killer amid a plethora of poodles in this "charming" cozy mystery by an Agatha Award finalist (Publishers Weekly).
There are dog shows. And then there's The Poodle Club of America National Specialty Dog Show. For poodle purists, it's the pinnacle of the season, drawing competitors and spectators from all over the world.
Once in Maryland, Melanie Travis is put to work selling raffle tickets by the co-chairs of the raffle committee, Betty Jean and Edith Jean Boone. Sixtyish steel magnolias from the South, the reclusive sisters make few appearances. But this year, they have a silver Toy puppy that has already caused quite a buzz on the show circuit.
While the poodles remain well behaved, it's their owners and handlers who start acting up. And when Betty Jean is found dead at the host hotel, murder takes center stage. But this is the PCAâ??and the show must go on. As Edith Jean staunchly resumes her duties, Melanie starts searching for clues, and comes up with a compelling cast of suspects whose actions prove that in the dog-eat-dog world of showing, a life can be as easily lost as a blue ribbon. And that unlike cats, dogsâ??and their ownersâ??have only one to risk...

I might have to go back and reread the ending, I am not clear on what Mel did with the information about the old lady and if she let her get away with what she was doing. ( )
A lot of fun; Melanie and her sister-in-law and aunt travel to the Poodle National Specialty show; where wackiness and murder ensue. Great coverage of the ins and out of a national specialty show; this one's a favorite of mine in this entertaining dog mystery series. ( )

There are those who say that life is a game of chance, and considering some of the things that have happened to me, I'd probably be inclined to agree.
