I read the first book in this bloodhound series while travelling through the Okefenokee Swamp on vacation in 1996. I have eagerly anticipated each subsequent addition. Anyone with a love of animals, a love of mysteries, a love of gutsy women, or a love of southern colloquialisms will relish each book. I do encourage everyone to read them in order. In fact, due to an impending birth , I have been homebound, and just finished reading the first four books all over. I wait with bated breath for the fifth one to arrive. Jo Beth, Jasmine, Wayne, Hank, and all of the other fascinating cast of characters are captivating and unique. However, it's Bobby Lee, Melanie, Ashley, and all of the bloodhounds who make the books come to life.

Another excellent tale by Virginia Lanier. A satisfying mystery and likeable characters make for a very enjoyable read. Ms. Lanier packs a lot of suspense in each of the rescue scenes and I can't seem to read fast enough through those parts. I can't understand why her books aren't at the top of the bestseller lists.

I have read all of Virginia Laniers books and they are vivid and exciting. She brings the people into your life as if you are part of the story line. You ride in her truck and walk along side of Jo-Beth as she searches the swamps for victims and murderers. Her bloodhounds are real heart winners and Bobby Lee is wonderful to have living in the house with Jo-Beth along side of Rudy. Same charters from book to book so you never lose sight of the picture she is painting. Each book is another part of your life in Georgia in search and rescue along with solving mysteries of murder, kidnapping and theif. This book is an A+++ just like Laniers other books.

Just want to recommend this book, I actually enjoyed it more than the others. Well told, and after reading the other books in this series, you are really feeling like you know the characters and can identify with them. The very end is wonderful, and I can't wait to read the next.

I have read all of Virginia Lanier's books (date of review 8/7/00). All five are full of excitement and suspense as well as romance and humor.

Being a dog lover myself, I was fascinated by the nuances of caring for, training, and working with bloodhounds.

I just finished her last book in the series and I will sorely miss Jo Beth and her adventures into the swamp with her magnificent dogs. I am eagerly awaiting the next one!

Virginia Lanier grabbed me by the lease, sent me with Jo Beth and her bloodhounds on many a search through territory I'd never experienced before and she returned me safely to Bloodhound Lane. I've read the 1st four in the series and can't wait for the next edition. May there be many many more. .

I started the Virginia Lanier series on the recommendations of the customer reviews. I wasn't disappointed. How interesting could a series be that spotlights the raising and using of bloodhounds in the field? I too wondered and happily found out. The only thing I can add to the other reviews is that after having bought all the books, I learned not to read them back to back. Although throughout the books, she earns the love and respect of not only current, but new friends and people she works with, her personal life is not always the most uplifting. Would I still recommend the series? -- it's not to be missed...

Wondeful, Witty.... & it has Dogs in it! This book has everything I want & need in a Great Mystery. Maybe it's being from the south , or having dogs of my own.... but I think that is a very small part of why this book applealed to me. I enjoyed getting to know about Blood Hounds and more on tracking. I'm a very good "book sleuth" and I hadn't guessed the ending half way through. The "Cast" of regulars are so well drawn that they are now important neighbors that I care about. So beware read this and you too will be "rabid" to get your hands on the rest of this series, as I now do. ah, ENJOY!

I read the first two books and although I have never cared for dogs, I have become mesmerized with these bloodhounds. Ms. Lanier's depiction of the swamp, the dogs, Jo Beth, the South, etc. is so real....I haven't been back to the home I left in the South for years, but I could picture it all over again through these books. I am ordering the next two books tonight and can't wait to get my hands on them.

Blind Bloodhound Justice was well worth waiting for.As usual Mrs. Lanier has created another page turner.Being from South Geogia myself I can relate to JoBeth and the other characters. I am eagerly awaiting the release of her next title "Ten Little Bloodhounds". It won't be soon enough!
