The beginning of this book came off strong. I was immediately entranced and wanted more. Throughout out the book, probably a little more than half way, it started to lose me. It was mainly because the story started plodding along. Seemed like it stretched out a bit too far. It also started to feel a bit cliche like too many other mystery books. Then there was our main character, Mercy. In the beginning I really liked her but as the story moved on, the feeling started to evaporate. She started coming of as a know-it-all and too perfect. The constant quotes started getting unnerving as well. Luckily, the dogs, Elvis & Susie Bear, were great characters along with the vet grandmother, Patience. The ending, though satisfactory, seemed a lot like a Scooby-Doo episode. After the bad guy is caught, everyone gets together to explain everything that went on. Good but kind of cheesy. There is a good chance that I will try the 2nd book and hope that it stays more like the beginning of this book.
