DROP DEAD on RECALL by S.W. Boneham***

This book was so so for me. There were times I wanted to strangle either the main character or the writer. The female in the story gets a message to return a call to the cops and never does. Dipshit. Then her dog is supposedly poisoned and she doesn't even call the cops. Who would do that? They didn't even try to determine if the dog had been poisoned. No vomiting, no watching for symptoms which was very obvious as the writer just ignored that stuff while you kept wondering when it would get mentioned. The cops warn dipshit Janet to be very careful with her pets and she turns around missing a cat. Within seconds! And does she report it immediately? Duh. No. She goes out looking for it herself putting up posters etc.

People keep getting murdered. Mostly old old love romance reasons, or we're gonna get caught reasons and everyone but lucky little Janet ends up dead.

The stuff I liked was information about breeding, DNA, things that go wrong and/or things that should go right. There was training involved and agility. So she showed readers some ways to engage and treat their dogs. She also did some on rescue and like that.

Nice last name writing about dogs: BONEHAM, or Hambone. Whatever. Real?
So the murder part of the story made really no sense to me at all. The fight in the dark (always fights in the dark with uncharged cell phones) was irritating. But I generally like the message to the readers about pet ownership. Ok library find but could use a teenage or young audience. I wasn't crazy about it. Sort of childish to me.
