Thriller Thursday: Crime and Pets (7/9/20)

We love our furry friends…especially when they’re helping solve crime! For today’s #ThrillerThursday, we’re spotlighting a daughter in veterinary school falling into a life of crime, a beloved golden retriever assisting his lawyer master, and a lovable canine narrator back on the case.

OTHER PEOPLE’S PETS by R.L. Maizes

“Following Maizes’s story collection, WE LOVE ANDERSON COOPER, this debut novel brings to life a wholly original, deeply charming, and seriously flawed character whose enormous heart leads her into a mess of trouble. A beguiling tale that will make readers want to leap into the pages to save La La from herself before it’s too late.”–Library Journal, starred review

MUZZLED: An Andy Carpenter Mystery by David Rosenfelt

“Happily retired Andy Carpenter can never resist ‘unretiring’ to help someone in trouble, as shown in Edgar finalist Rosenfelt’s intricately plotted 21st mystery featuring the Paterson, N.J., defense attorney (after 2019’s DACHSHUND THROUGH THE SNOW)…It’s a pleasure to spend time with bighearted Andy, a capable, self-aware, and witty lead, and his quirky teammates.”–Publishers Weekly

OF MUTTS AND MEN: A Chet & Bernie Mystery by Spencer Quinn

“Fans of this character-driven series return because of Chet’s narration and his adoration of Bernie. Despite the murders, this is a leisurely paced, feel-good book about a dog and his beloved owner, portrayed with all their flaws and insecurities. Chet’s narration adds humor to a long-running series with a strong sense of place.”–Library Journal
