Hmmm - a bit of diversity in the mystery genre is welcome, but this one is perhaps too far-fetched. The investigators: police detective Crusher McNash, a bull terrier, and Siamese Cassius Lap of the Feline Bureau of Investigation. The setting: a Manhattan-like city and its gritty suburbs, inhabited by these species with the cats occupying society's upper echelons and the dogs at a distinctly lower stratum. The victims: two Rottweiler gangsters and a feral cat who might be their killer. The first in a series based on the dark side of the animal kingdom, I'd skip this one. Review by Anne.
