I always enjoy the books in this series because they give me insights into dog psychology. They agree with what I have read elsewhere, so I suspect the author consults with a dog trainer.

The mystery is also a good one. It plays fair in that all the clues and actors are on stage from the start. I like the main characters and find their personal lives interesting.

If you like dogs and mysteries, then I think you'll enjoy the series. (
