Understanding That Dogs Understand: A Riverview Animal Shelter Mystery Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977236388)

All That Glitters Is Not Gold It is written that "love of money is the root of all evil," and in this book, the love of gold plays a major, sinister role. Fortunately, love also redeems, and the readers of this latest in the Bemis Riverview saga will find that love prevails, as a long-time friendship ripens into love. Helen Bemis's Riverview stories all have a strong element of love driving her characters...and some are "characters," indeed. Nancy, a cub reporter for The Riverview News hopes that investigating a death the police ruled to be accidental might discover information that would further justice...and her career. Freelance photographer Ben gets too close to his shady mentor. Long-time Riverview resident Tom knows much about finding gold in the Northeast United States. A second dead body turns up at a familiar place and an unexpected time. Fool's gold, iron pyrite, makes a fool out of a greedy drifter. Unemployed army veteran Harold had been living out of his truck for a half-dozen months. His luck was soon to change. Misty, a dog that once was a nearly perfect puppy will use its sense of smell to help solve a Riverview mystery. If money is the root of all evil, gold has a similarly wicked power over those who would obtain it. Be careful what you wish for, however, because not all is as it seems, and the competition for undeserved wealth can become deadly. Not all is sinister in Riverview, of course, and romance breaks loose at an unexpected time for characters who had been fooling themselves about their relationship. As a bonus, the book contains two chapters from the next in the series, UNDERSTANDING CURLY.
