Deep down, all dog owners believe that their dog is smarter than most people, not to mention most dogs. But how do you know? With What's Your Dog's IQ? you can prove it (or not) with such tests as: • Language learning—is Fido bow-lingual? • Memory—does Toto have total recall? • Problem solving—is Prince ready for Princeton? And, just in case your Fido’s IQ is less than stellar, What’s Your Dog’s IQ? reminds you that the true measure of a dog is not the size of his brain, but the size of his heart.

"...Wright is back with another captivating canine cozy ...richly entertaining mystery... brims with charming and eccentric characters, surprising revelations, and, yes, murder most foul... a humorous and engrossing examination of human frailty, and an exhilarating read. Two paws up!" —John Dufresne, author of Johnny Too Bad Read the first chapter of Sirius About Murder! Someone in South Lake Tahoe is Sirius about murder, and dog owners and their pets are about to discover that the killer's bite is much worse than his bark. Elsie MacBean (Beanie) and her Basset Hound, Cruiser, find themselves dewlap-deep in a murder investigation when supporters of a controversial dog park, proposed for a coveted tract of Tahoe shoreline, are earmarked for death. The fur starts to fly at a Howloween fund-raiser for Alpine Paws Park when Abigail Haversham, heiress to the lakeside property, is discovered strangled near the Psychic Paws booth after her quarrel with Madame Pawline, a pet psychic with a bone to pick. Mounting evidence implicates the pet psychic in Abigail's murder, but Beanie and Cruiser are also hot on the trail of other quarry in the Sirius killings. When Tahoe's dog fanciers pack together at spooky old Haversham House for the Halloween Bark in the Park costume ball, will the vicious killer seize this opportunity to unleash his revenge on them? The hunters become the hunted when Sirius comes sniffing after Beanie and Cruiser. Only Beanie's unbreakable bond with Cruiser can nip this crime spree before they become the next victims of the Sirius Killer.

Also Available! When an environmental dispute in South Lake Tahoe turns murderous, uneasy residents aren't the only ones howling for the killer to be collared. A nosey basset hound named Cruiser does some howling of his own when he sniffs out the mutilated remains of a Tallis Corporation CEO on a hiking trail near Cave Rock. Cruiser and his Native American owner, Elsie "Beanie" MacBean, soon find themselves up to their ears in a homicide investigation. Sacred to the Washoe Indians, Cave Rock is Tallis' proposed construction site for a fabulous indoor rock climbing playground and casino, which promises to boost South Tahoe's sagging economy. However, someone, or something, will stop at nothing, not even murder, to stonewall the Cave Rock project. As the body count climbs, Sheriff Skip Cassidy enlists Beanie's help (and Cruiser's, of course) in digging up clues to the culprit's identity. Mystifying evidence leads Beanie to make some rather unorthodox conclusions about the case, which leads Skip and her daughter, Nona, to believe she's completely flipped her beanie. When Death comes prowling at her door and Nona vanishes without a trace, it's up to Beanie and her slobbery sleuthhound to track down their deadly quarry before Tahoe goes to the dogs.
