BARK M FOR MURDER is a collection of short stories by some of the genre's
most beloved canine mystery writers.   J.A. Jance is a Seattle, Washington
resident whose bestsellers have included the Joanna Brady series. Virginia
Lanier lives in Georgia and is the author of the renowned Bloodhound series.
Chassie West earned an Edgar Award nomination for her debut mystery SUNRISE.
Lee Charles Kelley is a Manhattan writer and dog trainer, whose Jack Field
series has developed a loyal readership.

BARK M FOR MURDER is a page-turner par excellence.  In "Red Shirt and Black
Jacket" Ms. Lanier tells the story of a search and rescue bloodhound team
who get their man, while Ms. West's story entitled "Nightmare in Nowhere"
introduces the reader to a German Shepherd who will rescue his human
companions, whether they are ready or not.  Lee Charles Kelley amuses the
reader with his dry wit in"The French Poodle Connection" that brings a
sociopath killer to justice.  Last but not least, J.A. Jance's story titled
"The Case of the London Cabbie" will transport the reader to the realm of a
resolute crime fighting maven of advanced age who, with her gorgeous golden
retrievers in tow, will put an end to the misdeeds of one unsuspecting
fortune hunter.

BARK M FOR MURDER is entertaining, fast-paced, and wonderfully engaging. 
Whether you are a dog lover or not, these stories are sure to capture your
attention and will keep you reading on.  The authors' styles are varied,
which is part of the charm this book has.  Anyone who loves to curl up with
a good mystery will enjoy this collection of stories.  A must read!
