Product Description
MEET ALLIE BABCOCK--
AN INTREPID DOG THERAPIST WITH A KNACK FOR SLEUTHING

After Allie Babcock sets up shop in Boulder, her first client is a despondent collie whose previous owner apparently took her own life. But Allie soon suspects murder--and figures her canine client was a witness to the crime.

Allie is quickly on the case when a second murder stops her investigation. Before making another move, she counts her enemies: several suspicious dog owners, a violent boyfriend demanding vengeance, and a mysterious door-to-door salesman with a bizarre story to tell. One thing's for certain: All of them deserve a serious once-over--or Allie's own life may be brought to a heel. . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Dog Mystery, March 20, 2000
By Moe811 (New York USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
The new Allie Babcock series is a welcome addition to the semi-new genre of doglover's mysteries. The plot is fast moving and exciting, the dog related areas authentic, and it is not preachy as some of these novels tend to be. All in all this is a fun and entertaining mystery that should appeal to all, not just doglovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A doggone good mystery!, July 21, 1999
By "litlover" (PHOENIX, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
I just discovered this author, and she writes a sparkling mystery with very clever dialogue. It is fast moving and full of ideas on dog training (I learned to stop my dog from barking at the TV!) Leslie O'Kane's writing is really much better than most "lite" mysteries; her characters seem very real. This is the first in a series on Ally Babcock, canine therapist, and I'm looking forward to more. Perfect summer reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, November 14, 2001
By NORMA DUNN "normadunn" (northridge, ca United States) - See all my reviews
i have become a big fan of allie's after reading this book-for any dog lover mystery fan its a must. not only is it entertaining but its informative in learning how to handle the different behavior problems in your dog. i've just started 'ruff way to go' and i hope these are just just the beginning of a long line of books based on this character.
