Summary: For pet lovers and amateur sleuth/cosy fans
Review: Many of her Surf City, California neighbors believes British expatriate Delilah Doolittle is an unusual individual perhaps because she works as a pet detective. Delilah has legal alien status since she is a widow once married to an American. Her marriage lasted only six months, but Delilah knew she erred when she said, "I do."While her spouse was in Vegas, Delilah traced a neighbor's missing dog to the same city. She rescues the canine and stops to see her husband at a seedy motel playing poker with a dregs who's who. Her hubby gives Delilah ostrich boots and shoos her out of the room. That is the last time she saw him alive. His body was found several months later in the desert. Shifting back to the present, someone breaks into Delilah's home leaving behind a pack of matches from that same motel she last saw her husband alive. Delilah finds the ostrich boots and notices inside a deed to a silver mine as well as a rock. Delilah concludes an unknown individual seeks the deed. Needing closure, Delilah returns to Vegas, not realizing that looking to shut the book on her brief marriage will prove very dangerous. DELILAH DOOLITTLE AND THE CANINE CHORUS is the best book in this quaint, but delightful cozy because it provides readers insight into the heroine's past. The audience learns about her short-lived marriage, how she met her friend Tony, and how Tony acquired his beloved Jack Russell. Another subplot involves Delilah's hesitation of becoming involved again. Patricia Guiver's mystery is well designed to provide readers with insight into Delilah inside an interesting.
