Private investigator Jack McPhee has a two-word business philosophy: no partners. Rules are allegedly made to be broken, but Jack didn't expect that a contract to nab the so-called Calendar Burglar would force him to team up with a ten-pound, hyperactive Maltese.

Or that as McPhee Investigations goes to the dogs, he'd fall deeply in-like with Dina Wexler, an undertall groomer, whose definition of a P.I. comes from watching w-a-a-y too many detective shows.

Or that his absolutely genius idea to catch a thief would make him the prime—and only—suspect in a cold-blooded, diabolical homicide.

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie Reviews

    I thought this book is as good as its cover but nah

    I almost gave up on this cozy. I don’t like McPhee and I didn’t like Dina. I couldn’t see how they’d mesh well. And I couldn’t foresee how the PI and doggie hairdresser would be up for anything including solving a murder. But I was wrong. So very very wrong. They’re the best duo ever. They’re funny and sassy and made me smile a few times throughout. Hard to believe this is later in this series as I don’t know what McPhee did before her. I can’t imagine what life was like before them. I have to find more in this series just to quell my curiosity. Or….maybe I’m wrong and there was none before this. Time to do some research.

    I was attracted to this book by its title, but the story sadly has little to do with dogs and no direct connection to its name. The characters never really come alive for me, with the exception of Harriet the aging, invalid Mom, and Phil, the city pound mongrel, in their supportive roles. The plot, late in appearing, has some interesting edges, but the resolution seems incredibly drawn out. I do not view this book as a waste of time, but I doubt that I’ll hunt for any sequels.

  • Sara Södergren

    Funny... but felt lacking in the end.

  • Gay

    OK. Not great book. Quick read, told well. A bit outlandish.

  • Jan

    This was a fun mystery. Approached everything from a slightly different angle but a ending that wrapped it up well.

  • Sandra

    This is not a book I'd want to read twice. Perhaps the cliche title was fair warning.

  • Joy

    easy read
