Much better than the last K-9 mystery

Maybe my attitude toward Sara Driscoll right now is "can do no wrong," and maybe readers who expect the c vvvcvffffffffffffffffffff

Argh. Cats.

...expect a mystery to have a certain, predictable sequence would think she clearly did much wrong here. But I liked it--it told a story and isn't that the point of books, after all?

If you're wondering what the heck I'm talking about, I'll explain. A traditional mystery has a prologue, a crime, detection leading to a great reveal, and a little wrap-up at the end. If you like some action mixed in, then the great reveal might include the detective being attacked, abducted, or threatened in some scary way. But it's predictable, and you get your thrill in the reveal.

Just suffice it to say that she didn't do it that way. If you demand it, don't read this. But if you are starting to admire the characters and you love her writing, you'll absolutely love this like I did.
