About this listen
It's autumn in Connecticut. Melanie Travis has just started a new job, and with the added excitement of showing her Standard Poodle, Faith, in the fall shows, the last thing she wants is to become embroiled in yet another of her brother Frank's moneymaking schemes. His current brainstorm - remaking an old store in stylish suburban Fairfield County into a trendy coffee bar - already has the neighbors snarling. Worse, wealthy Marcus Rattigan, who's bankrolling the project, is found murdered on the premises, and the police think Frank did it. Always the family watchdog, and faced with Frank's imminent arrest, Melanie has no choice but to take on the investigation. Drawing on her connections in the dog world, Melanie is soon successfully unmuzzling the dead man's nearest and dearest, including a bitter ex-wife, a spurned mistress, and an ambitious second in command. But Melanie is about to learn that being a watchdog can sometimes be dangerous - especially when every clue she uncovers leads her one step closer to a murderer who is desperate enough to kill again....

Would you listen to Watchdog again? Why?
I really like this series of stories. The main character and her family are really well written and the stories are believable. I never guess 'who dunnit' but it keeps me gripped til the end.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Watchdog?
The portrayal of Marcus Rattigan is great - he is written as a real 'bad guy' type and you don't feel empathy with him at all. The Aunt is also written well as a slightly irritating but loveable character - totally believable.
Have you listened to any of Jessica Almasy’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I've read 4 of her books and this one is just as good.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I always like listening to these books when I'm doing the housework as they don't require full attention all the time. the narrator is excellent at setting the scene and I really like listening to her voice.
