Selected by Indie Booksellers for the Summer '11 Reading Group List

“Dante may have had his Beatrice, but Paul Gustavson has Stella, a venerable pooch who is his guiding light for matters of the mind and heart. Their ongoing dialogue is smart, sweet, and poignant, and together they take on their fears of thunderstorms and seedy bars (hers) and normal, loving relationships without the buffer of alcohol (his), each bringing out the best in each other. This book is clever, heartwarming, and engaging.”

-- Emily Crowe, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA

Description

A most unconventional of murder mysteries, turning the genre completely on its head, skewering cliche and staid sensibilities.
