    Synopsis

    Dog trainer Holly Winter is set to marry veterinarian Steve Delaney, but the wedding plans have been spoiled by murder--and Holly's taking it personally. The victims have been female dog lovers, and since Holly fits the profile, "till death do us part" isn't just an upcoming vow--it's a dire warning.

    Publishers Weekly

    In Susan Conant's latest tale of malamutes and murder, Bride & Groom, Dog's Life magazine columnist Holly Winter is riding high: her new dog-treat cookbook is a hit and she's soon to wed a well-bred vet. The only hitch is the string of corpses among her human acquaintances. This cute-as-a-puppy cozy is sure to be a growling success with the canine crowd, but the almost incidental crime-solving will leave some readers feeling they barked up the wrong tree.

    August 24, 2005: I loved this book! Loved it! It was great, however, I kind acould see who did it towards the end. But, the way Conant does sit, you can't tell for sure. This is one of her best ones so far.
