I really enjoyed this book. An Andy Carpenter Novel. I've never read this best selling author before. He was engaging. I loved the characters. I understand these are the same characters that are in his other dog friendly books. It was fast-paced. No lingering about, got to the point, easy to read. Really enjoyed it. I am going to go look for his other books.. This is a paper back period it's In really good condition little bit aware on the edges just from handling it.. Smoke free home.
