Doggone Bones

Sarah Booth Delaney Mysteries

By: Carolyn Haines

Narrated by: Kate Forbes

The next novel in the series that Kirkus Reviews characterizes as “Stephanie Plum meets the Ya-Ya Sisterhood” featuring sassy Southern private investigator Sarah Booth Delaney.

After a dog belonging to local pet activist Tilly Lawson is snatched right out of her backyard in Sunflower County, MS, Sarah Booth and the Delaney Detective Agency are up to their ears in concerned pet owners. Could Tilly's work liberating abused animals have come back to bite her, or was this a random act of dognapping?

Delaney Detective Agency has their work cut out for them, especially as a troublesome online pet detective agency tries nosing their way into the investigation. But as Sarah Booth and Tinkie start to sink their teeth into the mystery, they discover there's much more at play than they thought: neighborhood rivalries, questionable dog breeders, and an illegal dogfighting operation.

As their digging churns up dangerous attention—and with their own beloved dogs, Sweetie Pie and Chablis, possibly next in line to be dognapped—Sarah Booth and Tinkie are in a race against time to track down the thieves and return the missing pets home.

"Pet lovers will root for the detectives as they fight for animal rights while solving a series of human crimes."—Kirkus Reviews

Boooooooo

CLIFFHANGER!!! I’ve really enjoyed Haines’ series, but absolutely HATE cliffhangers! Great writing with historical facts interspersed.

A little disappointing

The narrator was great, The storyline was disjointed and you roll your eyes at certain parts, I thought “Oh come on!” A few times. this is a series I really enjoy, but this book just didn’t not rise to the level of some of her others. You do finish it up knowing there will be another book coming, Hopefully it will be better than this one.

BORING!

Repetitious, boring, no plot. Kept waiting for something interesting to happen. Please have AI write the next one!
