Rating: 4 out of 5

It's a Dog's life, a novelette is a British crime novel exploring the underbelly of dog racing and the front it provides for other crimes. The story has the feel of being either based on true events or well researched about the dog racing industry. It sounds terrible. The animal cruelty parts were hard to read,but the bad guys get their just desserts in the end. This book can be read very quickly, on a break or on the bus etc. I liked the characters and we get a glimpse into Lorne's personal life, which is far from ideal, but seems realistic. I'm interested in trying out more of Lorne Simpkins cases in the future. If you like straight up crime novels, this book is for you.
