This is the third book in a series, but having not read the
previous two I didn’t feel that I missed anything vital; the book stands on its
own. There are some references to previous events and they explain the relationships
between some of the characters. The book is set in 1980’s America and Canada
especially Montreal. It also fits with the style of the book which reads like an
old fashioned crime novel (I use old fashioned in a positive sense, as in
familiar and wholesome.) There are some good plot twists and turns and the
private detective duo of Damien (Dick) and Millie are likable and gutsy. Wouldn’t
mind reading the previous books for an escape to a different era. A little disappointed
that the Labrador in the tittle didn’t feature in the crime, but that didn’t
take away from an enjoyable book.
