Synopsis
Meet Ellie Engleman, psychic dog-walker
The newest dog-walker on Manhattan's Upper East Side has a talent—she can hear what her canine clientele is thinking. So when a dog's owner turns up dead, Ellie must bone up on her sleuthing—and perk up her ears to find a killer.
Publishers Weekly
Cozy fans will savor this charming paranormal mystery series opener from romance author McCoy (Wanted: One Perfect Man ). Recently divorced Ellie Engleman, ready for a fresh start, adopts a Yorkie and discovers she can telepathically communicate with dogs. Naturally, she launches a dog-walking business on Manhattan's posh Upper East Side. On the way to walk prize-winning Bichon Buddy, Ellie discovers the body of his owner, Professor Albright, murdered in his entryway. Buddy is missing and no one, save Ellie, is concerned. Sexy, annoying NYPD Det. Sam Ryder considers Ellie a prime suspect, but that doesn't stop her from searching for Buddy, hoping that finding the dog will lead her to the killer. Somehow managing to avoid every talking animal mystery cliché, McCoy fills this delightful story with humor, quirky characters and delicious hints of romance. (Mar.)

June 17, 2009: Talk about a page turner! Hounding the Pavement was such a fun read. Ellie has such a funny, unique view of the world, and who wouldn't love a dog walker who can talk to dogs? How cool is that? I loved the mystery, which kept me guessing right up to the end. And the chemistry between Ellie and Detective Ryder is electric. If you haven't read this one, get it NOW! I can't wait for the next one, Heir of the Dog is what I think it's called. Hey, I hear Judi McCoy is going to be signing the next book in October 2009 at the Waldenbooks at Chesapeake Square Mall in Chesapeake, Virginia. I'm going to make the trip. I've just got to meet this wonderful writer and get her signature on my books!

May 16, 2009: I needed an escape, something I didn't have to think too hard about while reading. This fit the bill perfectly. A good story with a predictable plot and some interesting characters. Ellie can talk to dogs, and they can talk to her. Her best friend, Rudy, is the reincarnation of her old dog. What a perfect pair to solve the murder of the owner of a prize winning dog. My only 'complaint' is that the author's romance novelist background comes up in a few places. I guess it had to, but overall a fun read. As the headline says, I can't wait for the next one to come out in October.
