“Lights… Camera… Woof!”
In the dog days of an Ohio summer, Jackie and Jake’s stint on a movie set lands them supporting roles—in a murder mystery! Jackie’s keeping busy by acting as wrangler for Jake—she’s signed him up as top dog in a film being directed by her gifted former student, John McBride. But only a few days into shooting, the producer falls victim to a murderous hit-and-run driver. John is arrested for the crime, but Jackie’s own list of suspects is long enough to stump a pack of bloodhounds. With Jake’s help, Jackie sets out to prove that the police are barking up the wrong tree… ( )

The story was ok but the writing style was terrible. I really struggled to continue to read this because of the poor style - plus the main character is a pretentious left-wing food snob!

Here is an example of the bad writing that annoyed me, from page 30:
"And what's more, Jackie thought to herself as she poured low-fat milk on a crunchy whole-wheat biscuit, Cameron's first day on the set had been the good one."

Still, I didn't see the ending coming. ( )
