Short stories don't usually do it for me because the author typically doesn't take the time I like to see in character development. This book was a wonderful exception. Being an animal lover and dog owner, I loved how the heroine's pet was woven into the story. It made what what a relatively dark, serious mystery story somewhat light and familiar.  For an introductory story for the Emily Castle mystery series, it was extremely strong. If you like stories where you really get to know the characters and still have a good mystery to solve then this is a good, quick book to knock out in an afternoon.
