I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and honestly didn't realize it was the author's first. The plot kept me interested from the beginning - no skipping paragraphs, which is a bad habit I have - and guessing right to the end. This is a big deal for me because I'm an avid mystery buff and pride myself in trying to tag the bad guy early on. I liked the main characters, especially Jake Martin (aka Porky), and found his dry wit charming, even if his good intentions occasionally caused him grief. Though I must say, after awhile I found myself thinking - "What Jake, McDonalds - again?!" As a lover of all dogs, I especially appreciated the banter between Jake and his Golden Retriever Fred. The characters are realistic and the dialogue well done, and not at all contrived. All in all an easy book to recommend, in fact I already have.
