Rating: Summary: FAST PACED EDGE OF SEAT EXCITEMENT Review: Once again Virginia Lanier's riveting story of bloodhound sleuthing was worth the wait. I read it in 11 non stop exciting hours. Virginia Lanier manages to tell several different stories all wrapped together in one book. She also captures the essence of small town southern living. I'm sure I will think about the story and the characters for several months while I patiently wait for her next Bloodhound book. These stories pull you in and make you feel like your part of the story, running through the woods with Jo Beth sidden and her trusty man trailers hot on someone's scent. I hope Virginia Lanier will continue to write books about Jo Beth Sidden and her wonderful and colorful bloodhounds.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely rivetting mystery-5+ Review: Thirty years ago in Dunston County, Georgia, itinerant worker Samuel Debbs was convicted for the kidnapping of two baby girls, and the murders of one of the infants and their nanny. He was sentenced to life, but received a conditional pardon for medical reasons. His pardon would have been unconditional if he only he admitted to doing the crime, but he refused, claiming he is innocent. Coincidentally, the surviving kidnapped victim is also returning to the county.The local sheriff, who lacks manpower and money to look into a three-decade old case, suspiciously wonders about the timing of these two events. He asks Jo Beth Sidden, who trains bloodhounds to work with law enforcement officials, to investigate the situation. Jo Beth starts to ask questions, stirring up suppressed memories of individuals who remember the crime. However, the more she uncovers, the more Jo Beth becomes convinced that Samuel is innocent. As she tries to prove her theory, she knows she must be careful because lurking in the shadows is a killer who has escaped detection for thirty years. Virginia Lanier writes a terrific mystery that heavily relies on logic and reasoning to use clues to find answers. There is also plenty of action in this novel, especially the very realistic search and rescue operation throughout the Okeefenokee Swamp for amissing mother and child. Ms. Lanier is so visual that readers feel they are members of the rescue team. The feisty Jo Beth is a gret role model, a firm believer in the empowerment of women to do just about anything. BLIND BLOODHOUND JUSTICE is a great reading experience. Harriet Klausner
Rating: Summary: House on Bloodhound Lane Review: Virginia Lanier grabbed me by the lease, sent me with Jo Beth and her bloodhounds on many a search through territory I'd never experienced before and she returned me safely to Bloodhound Lane. I've read the 1st four in the series and can't wait for the next edition. May there be many many more. .

Rating: Summary: A NEW ADDICTION, & it's name is Virginia Lanier Review: Wondeful, Witty.... & it has Dogs in it! This book has everything I want & need in a Great Mystery. Maybe it's being from the south , or having dogs of my own.... but I think that is a very small part of why this book applealed to me. I enjoyed getting to know about Blood Hounds and more on tracking. I'm a very good "book sleuth" and I hadn't guessed the ending half way through. The "Cast" of regulars are so well drawn that they are now important neighbors that I care about. So beware read this and you too will be "rabid" to get your hands on the rest of this series, as I now do. ah, ENJOY!
