Description

It's February in the Hudson Valley and Oak Falls veterinarian Dr. Kate is once again up to her galoshes in corpses

Hudson Valley winters can be brutal...and deadly! Dr. Kate is once again on the case (not to mention thin ice) after discovering a young engaged couple frozen to death in the lake. To make matters worse, her temporary receptionist appears to have overdosed from a recreational sedative used at the animal hospital. Kate barely has time to dread Valentine's Day (and the fact that she's alone on this holiday, once again) as the police investigation shows that all three fatalities are in fact homicides. 

But who would want the young couple dead, just as they were embarking on a new life together? And who pumped the temp employee full of enough animal tranquilizers to drop an ox? Kate doesn't know where to begin until she stumbles upon a connection between the three victims and decides she needs to investigate further. But will her investigation leave her any time to get to know the handsome large animal vet she's just met on a house call? And is the injured wild crow she's taken under her wing in fact an omen of more bad things to come?

        A veterinarian's keen perceptions may help her solve a slew of murders. As Valentine's Day approaches, Dr. Kate Turner is a little bummed that the only Cupid in her life is a Doberman with a bladder infection. But she's typically too slammed with work for much of a love life, especially since she's been filling in at the Hudson Valley's Oak Falls Animal Hospital while Doc Anderson is on a yearlong cruise. Though she's been happy in Oak Falls, it's hard for Kate to know what's next in life. She doesn't have much going on in the romance department, but she does have the undying affection of her own dog, Buddy, and the begrudging respect of the office's resident feline, Mr. Katt. As Kate and her assistant, Mari, are driving back from a house call to Maple Grove Farm, they're flagged down by a man who's just found someone shot dead in the woods. After the two women rush out to see if they can help, Mari, a lifelong local, follows a path deeper into the forest, and the two discover a second body, a beautiful woman who's drowned beneath the ice of Lover's Lake. The apparent murder/suicide becomes the talk of the town, and a third fatality soon after inclines the police to consider all three deaths murders. Kate, who's used to investigating animal illnesses, may have the eye for detail that could assist officers, even though she's distracted by her attempt to deepen and define her recent friendship with large-animal vet Dr. Mike. The copious details on the health of animals great and small sets this apart from similar series.

        Veterinarian Kate Turner and her assistant are making house calls on a winter day when they are flagged down on a country road in the Hudson River Valley. A passerby has found a body in the woods. As Kate investigates the scene, another body is found. Everyone's first thought is murder-suicide, but Kate hears through the grapevine that the police now think it was a double murder. When Kate later finds the body of one of her staffers, dead of an overdose in the exam room, the mystery gets even more complex. Determined to figure out what is going on, she sets out to find a connection among the three people--and maybe find out more about that cute large-animal vet from the next town over. Kate has to juggle her amateur sleuthing with her busy vet practice, including treating a wild crow, to discover the motive and the murderer before time runs out. VERDICT This follow-up to Last but Not Leashed is for those who enjoy small-town mysteries and engaging animal characters.--Dan Forrest
