If you are a fan of cozies as well as an animal lover, you'll enjoy this first book in Cynthia Baxter's new Reigning Cats and Dogs mystery series. The heroine is a veterinarian who runs a mobile pet clinic and whose own dogs discover a murder victim when her van becomes stuck on the way to an appointment.

Jessica Popper, DVM, is marvelous with animals but not nearly so capable when it comes to dealing with people, especially members of the opposite sex. She is stubborn and pugnacious, while at the same time vulnerable - which keeps her from seeming too harsh.

This was a very enjoyable, light read, and I'll definitely pick up the next book in the series. C.A.H.
