Customer Reviews

Great read!

I have enjoyed all of the Delilah Doolittle series and this is no exception. I can't wait to see what other adventures Delilah has in the future. Her books are very encouraging to those who rescue that there are people who understand! I would highly recommend all of her books!

Page turner

Have read all three in this series and it is on my look for next one list. One of the best things about Delilah is her age. Single, mature and just fine with it. There is possibly a love interest on the way. She and a lot of her friends are mature and living a good life all in all. The only thing she needs is to let someone else get hit on the head and find the body once in a while. These books move along and do not have a lot of useless filler. They hold your attention with good plots,characters and surroundings.

A witty, entertaing pet detective story

There are three types of people in the world: dog lovers, cat lovers, and pet-haters. It is the former two groups that keep Delilah Doolittle's pet detective agency thriving as she is always tracking down a missing or abducted pet for one of her clients. However, sometimes her cases take macabre twists involving the murder of a human. Every time this happens Delilah feels compelled to solve the case.When Mavis Byrde's prize winning Absynnian cat turns up missing, the distraught owner believes that her neighbor, a rumored practicing witch, kidnapped the feline. Delilah visits the alleged culprit, but instead of finsing a supposed sacrificial cat, she finds a dead human. Though the police quickly make an arrest, Delilah is convinced that they went up the wrong tree. She begins her own investigation in order to uncover the identity of the real killer.The latest addition to Patricia Guiver's "pet detective mystery series" is as witty and entertaining as the wonderful previous works. DELILAH AND THE CARELESS COYOTE includes a first rate mystery, but the novel, filled with interesting trivia, will especially be enjoyed by Anglophiles and animal lovers.Harriet Klausner
