Caturday Reads: Andy Carpenter returns in The Twelve Dogs of Christmas
The Twelve Dogs of Christmas An Andy Carpenter Mystery by David Rosenfelt St. Martin's Press Minotaur Books Mystery & Thrillers Pub Date 18 Oct 2016 Review Some writers are gifted humorists.

Caturday Reads: Deadly Dog Days decidedly dull
Deadly Dog Days by Jaime M. Blair Midnight Ink Mystery & Thrillers, General Fiction (Adult) Pub Date 08 Nov 2016 Review Normally I adore dog mysteries. But while I found the animals charming, I found the mystery component of Deadly Dog Days to be decidedly dull. Also, oddly enough, the supporting characters had more personality than Cam (Cameron Cripps-Hayman). At one point in Deadly Dog Days, Cam complains that she doesn't have an identity of her own in Metamora - sadly I
