Book Reviews of A Dog About Town
Book Review: Suprisingly Good
Summary: 4 Stars
I was given this book and at first I was so annoyed that it was written by a dog. I mean the writing is sophisticated and smart and the dog schtick seemed unnecessary and stupid. But I am surprised to say the dog narrator really grew on me. He can smell changes in people's body chemistry when they are lying or afraid, and this interesting plus of being a dog detective was counterbalanced with the difficulty of being taken along to all the necessary places to gather information and then conveying that info to humans. It did not seemed forced and was very well done.
Summary of A Dog About Town
Harry is a man still mourning the loss of his beloved girlfriend, Imogen, who left him suddenly without a word. He's also the owner of a plump, poetry-loving Lab, Randolph. Like most Manhattan dogs, Randolph spends his days sifting through a world of scents, his owner's neuroses, and an overcrowded doggy run at the American Museum of Natural History. But now a bereft Harry has drifted into a circle of would-be occultists. Which might not be so bad if one of them wasn't also a murderer.But which one? With 100,000 times the smelling power of a human being, Randolph can quickly detect the scents of guilt, anxiety, and avarice-and he has no lack of suspects, from a seductive con woman to an uncouth professor of the decorative arts. Now, to protect his hapless owner's life, Randolph might have to do the unthinkable-and start training Harry to catch a killer..
