Review # 1 was written on 2009-05-08 00:00:00 Joan Tan Susan Conant is my favorite dog mystery writer because her writing is witty and intelligent, but she is not afraid to poke a little fun at the liberal intellectual culture of Cambridge. This one has a bit of a different tone than some of her other books since it is unclear throughout much of the book whether a crime has actually been committed or not. Thus the approach is a little more subtle. But if you enjoy her other books, you will enjoy this one. And if you have never read her, this is as good a place to start as any. Alaskan Malamutes Kimi and Rowdy are as endearing as ever, and the Ruffly of the title is charming as well.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-09-07 00:00:00 Worth Mizell I'm a latecomer to Conant's mysteries. I actually read her one-and-only cat mystery FIRST. I had a beloved malamute so I can appreciate that aspect of her character. Actually I liked the main character Holly and her husband. Her best friend Rita...not so much. And Conant goes off on tangents that make little sense. Not to mention her too in-depth dive into the mind-numbing minutia of dog shows. I ended up bypassing entire sentences (if not paragraphs) to keep the story flowing for me.
