As always I enjoyed the book. It is a challenge to write a series that basically takes place in the same location and with the same characters. The author answered that by adding a new location for future books and also has added new characters along the way. However, this latest has added a new dimension... literally! The short retorts(“shut it”, “disagree”) between Josie and Suzy are getting overused and The series does ask us to suspend rational thinking from time to time but I still enjoy it As always I enjoyed the book.

Fun series I really enjoy this series. It is a little bit mystery and a little bit paranormal with a bunch of dogs thrown in. I enjoy the quirky characters. My only complaint is editing. There are a good number of sentences with either words left out or wrong words used (ie, "what" instead of "was" in one case). But, I highly recommend this series; however you really do have to read these books in order to understand what is going on. Fun series I really enjoy this series.

I laughed a lot. But I also cried. So now I know about the Ibizan Hound. Cool! This Thousand Island mystery was fraught with emotion. One minute I was laughing at Suzie and Josie's antics, the next I was crying about a character's bad choices. There are wonderful and interesting friendships in this series. I'm hooked.

Good romp This series is great and I do enjoy the growth of the characters. I missed seeing Suzy's mom except on the periphery. Same for scenes at C's. I guess I've gotten attached!

Good story! As as with all of this series I enjoyed this book but I was disappointed with the supernatural. Up to this point I have truly liked all the books. I hope this new addition does not become a large part the stories.

OStunning Stunning is a good word to describe this book. The plot is intriguing from the very first chapter and gets more so as you read this amazing story. I enjoyed every word of this book, and am looking forward to the next one.

Easy Reading This book except for Summerman's entrance and exit flows easily. The dogs are a great story base. Suzy and Now he's jokes on each other and laughs to the story. All Together they equal a great book. Easy Reading This book except for Summerman's entrance and exit flows easily. The dogs are a great story base.
