«I hope everyone out there will know by now about how I, Summer Holly Love, finally persuaded my mom to let me have a wonderful golden Labrador puppy of my own named Honey. (If you are not aware of this, you can read all about it in The Puppy Plan, a fascinating and frankly gripping account of the Said Event.) Anyway, things have Moved On since those early days of dog-ownership. Honey went through a bit of a Difficult Phase recently, developing a taste for shoes (mainly flip-flops) and terrorizing dinner guests. So, to help her through her Awkward Adolescence, I dutifully (and brilliantly) trained her at Obedience Class and in the garden. And, hurrah! Honey's amazing talents shone through just in time for our School Talent Content, where we performed our «Pup Idol» star act—and became Famous Celebrities in Our Own Right!» |

«Mom has given Summer two weeks to plan a surprise party for her glamorous older sister April. Summer realizes that it is also her dog Honey's birthday that week—and therefore decides to plan a joint party. She decides not to mention the whole «puppy» part of the plan to anyone except her best friend, Molly Cook. Cut to party day, and utter mayhem is slowly unfolding. Someone tries a dog biscuit, thinking it's a trendy new kind of cookie, and Honey and her doggy guests are tugging on the tablecloth, tearing open presents, and trashing the house. Meanwhile April—who has been told to keep away until the last minute—is becoming more and more over dramatical and suspicious. How will she react to the canine takeover of her special day?» |

No wives to worry about their whereabouts; no landladies to whine about the unpaid rents. In fact nobody would miss most of them at all... By the 16th of July the Master of Lonsdale was concerned, but not yet worried. Dr Browne-Smith had passed through the porter's lodge at approximately 8.15 a.m. on the morning of Friday, 11th July. And nobody had heard from him since. Plenty of time to disappear, thought Morse. And plenty of time, too, for someone to commit murder... |
