EVIL BREEDING
by Susan Conant
In plunging author/dog-breeder Holly Winter (The Barker Street Regulars, 1998, etc.) into the star-crossed household of R. Robert Motherway as part of her research into the fabled Morris and Essex Dog Shows—mounted through the 1930s by Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge, mother of Motherway’s old friend—Conant may have invented a new genre: the canine historical mystery.
