 A lovable canine hero June 29, 2000
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
In this, the second of Virginia Lanier's suspenseful and entertaining series, we're treated to more adventures of Jo Beth Sidden, feminist, good ol' girl and woman of much guile. Her cleverness and resourcefulness rise to the occasion in a number of subplots, but the main mystery concerns the search for a man who's been buried alive. Old friends from "Death in Bloodhound Red" return, and we meet new ones, including a love interest for Jo Beth (a relationship that starts off most inauspiciously and hilariously). The real hero, however, is a blind-from-birth bloodhound puppy of exceptional brilliance named Bobby Lee. He's a truly lovable character, delightfully portrayed. Dog people and readers who like a Southern setting and/or a strong female protagonist should not miss this series.

Exciting 2nd. Book of this series! June 2, 2000
Wonderful, fully drawn characters. Rich in detail in all aspect: the places, people, local color, and the amazing Blood Hounds. Miz JoBeth, is a true friend, and has a need to help everyone she can, with her own clear feel for justice. Great intertwine of plots, sub plots, Lanier never misses a beat, bring them all together to a surprising & "INTERESTING" finish. I read this one in 1 sitting, it was such fast paced, page turner, I couldn't put down. JoBeth can have all those sexy lawmen, I'll take BobbyLee.... well I guess just more of these great books.
 Lanier Has Done it Again January 17, 2000

As Lanier did in her first book, she grabs you and pulls you into the swamp with feminist Jo Beth. Her description is remarkable making you feel a dog leash yanking on your arm, or a mosquito biting you. This book has everything you could ask for, action, romance, mystery, and deception.
 A Little Slower Than Her Usual Fare, But Good July 24, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This wasn't my favorite Lanier book, but an enjoyable read nevertheless. I prefer the stories where the dogs are in the spotlight and the rescue scenes are fast paced. The stories in this book are wide ranging and the major theme is slow to coalesce. Still, Ms. Lanier is one of my favorite authors and her books always leave me with a good feeling.
