From Booklist
Former British army captain John Cunningham and his wife, Beth, run a kennel in a rugged corner of Scotland. Cunningham's new neighbor, an oily businessman named Ben Garnet, quickly becomes known for disreputable behavior, including setting up an "accidental" mating between his dog and Cunningham's champion spaniel. Garnet and Cunningham argue about the puppies' pedigree; Garnet is, as P. G. Wodehouse liked to say, "severely coshed" near Cunningham's house; and Cunningham becomes the prime suspect in the murder. Hammond's novel is concise, effectively organized, stylishly written, and briskly paced (notwithstanding some pleasant digressions on hunting dogs and firearms). The story's characters are well developed and realistic, and the mystery element itself is . . . well, doggedly hard to solve. Good show. John Rowen
