Muzzled

A Kate Turner, DVM, Mystery

By: Eileen Brady

Narrated by: Caroline Shaffer

Making rounds to homes one wet spring morning, veterinarian Dr. Kate Turner rescues a family's hamster from a vacuum cleaner then visits an estate whose owners breed champion Cavalier King Charles spaniels. Instead of sharing traditional tea with the couple, she confronts a bloody scene of bodies and 27 blue-ribbon dogs running wild. Police initially suspect a murder-suicide, but when Dr. Kate proves the famous best-in-show champion is missing, a darker reality intrudes. She remembers her grandfather saying that there are two motives for murder: love and money.

While treating local pets, Dr. Kate discovers suspects and motives everywhere in this charming town filled with people who wanted the couple dead. Was the couple murdered for the money their champion could bring to another breeder? How is their daughter, anxious to rid herself of the pampered dogs, handling the wealth she inherits? Would the celebrity filmmaker living nearby kill to end a multimillion-dollar lawsuit? Did long-buried personal secrets cause the deaths? And what's going on at the office behind her back? Is Dr. Kate in danger?

First-time mystery writer Eileen Brady's characters, style, and storytelling bring authenticity and atmosphere in this new "pet noir" series.

Dog related mystery.

Overall it was good, though the author could have done more research on dog shows and dog breeding.

interesting

interesting plot. never did suspect the person who committed the murders. there were clues, just didn't get them.

Muzzled

Muzzled is a good storyline with minimal cursing. Likable heroine. An ending with as twist. Enjoyed the read.

Quite enjoyable

Narration was great. I really enjoyed
the book. it was not too intense which was nice for a change. I like animals which were included but were not unbelievable super heroes.

Good Mystery Novel

These novels have a good mystery story as well as the interesting adventures of a small-town veterinarian.
