This review is from: Death and The Dogwalker: A Jason Lynx Novel (Hardcover)

Jason Lynx, the antique dealer/puzzle solver of this series, was trying to avoid talking to an obnoxious acquaintance when he walked past him in the park. It was not until he was trying to creep past the sleeping figure again that Bela, his dog, set up a howl that he realized that Fred was dead.

Jason also knew Fred's sister, who asked him to use his puzzle solving skills to help her find out what happened to her brother.

The deeper Jason dug, the more people appeared who had reason to kill Fred. The theme of this book is the importance of families, what they do to one another and for one another. Jason also gives some great tips on how to decorate a guest room.

Definitely well worth reading although the ending may not satisfy the mystery purist.
