Holly Winter takes her dog to obedience trials only to find a training session ends in murder.
Animal Appetite
Dog's Life columnist Holly Winter and her Alaskan malamutes, Rowdy and Kimi, attempt to put a leash on the killer of publisher Jack Andrews, who leaves behind two suspect suicide notes, a golden retriever, and a family of eccentrics. Reprint.
Stud Rites
Set during an Alaskan Malamute National Specialty Show, Susan Conant's latest foray into the competitive world of purebred dogs proves lethal for the judge, who is found bludgeoned to death by a blunt object whose design is as tasteless as the murder itself. And who might benefit from the judge's death? Many, as it turns out - from the woman who has inherited his job to the organizer of the show to the handler whose dog now has a good chance of winning. Dog's Life writer Holly Winter is, of course, on the scene with two dogs entered in the competition. She knows who had access to the murder weapon. But it is a former lover, now working for a firm that specializes in canine reproductive technology, who unwittingly puts her on the trail of the killer.
Black Ribbon
“[Susan] Conant might be the dog lovers’ answer to Lilian Jackson Braun’s The Cat Who series.”—Rocky Mountain News Canine-loving detective Holly Winter is a columnist for Dog’s Life magazine. She thinks a week at Waggin’ Tail, a camp for canines in the scenic Maine woods, will be a vacation in pet heaven. So does Rowdy, her champion malamute—especially when there are pooches galore: mixed breeds, Pekes, cairn terriers, Labradors, shelties, and a gorgeous mastiff pup. But upon Holly’s arrival at the camp, things swiftly go to the dogs. Instead of the advertised gourmet food, there’s olive loaf and soggy pudding. The human campers are given to nasty back-stabbing. And Holly receives a black-edged card consoling her for the loss of her dog. Is this someone’s sick idea of a joke? Suddenly Waggin’ Tail seems like the summer camp from hell. Then a dog owner turns up dead in a freak accident. The probable cause? The victim’s own dog! Holly suspects a four-footed frame-up and with Rowdy sets out to find the real culprit. She’s on the scent and closing fast—which makes her the perfect target for a killer whose bite is definitely worse than his bark.
Gaits of Heaven
Called in to train a dysfunctional New Age couple's dog, Holly Winter stumbles into the middle of the family's secrets when the wife dies of an accidental overdose and the victim's daughter persuades Holly that it was murder.

Ruffly Speaking
Holly Winter’s a Dog’s Life columnist on the wrong side of thirty, a canine-loving detective sniffing out crime on the streets of Cambridge. Holly is a dog’s best friend—and a murderer’s worst enemy . . . They might be less famous than guide dogs for the blind, but hearing dogs are no less invaluable to their owners. Holly Winter discovers this well-kept secret when she interviews Stephanie Benson, a hearing-impaired priest, and her canine companion, Ruffly. A hardworking, reliable mixed-breed, Ruffly lends an ear with ringing telephones, doorbells, smoke alarms, and the other everyday sounds on which Stephanie’s livelihood—and life—depend. Ruffly and the rector have just moved into the house of Holly’s recently deceased friend, Morris Lamb, whose life-loving and dog-adoring ways left no clue to his sudden and untimely death. Then Ruffly begins tuning in to something more than mere mortals can hear. And when Holly follows the dog’s lead, she picks up the unmistakable sound . . . of murder. “[Susan] Conant’s readers—with ears up and alert eye—eagerly await her next.”—Kirkus Reviews

Dead and Doggone
Holly Winter's life is going to the dogs, but that's just fine with her. She's a feisty, thirtysomething dog-lover, and her expertise in the breeding, training, and caring for man's (and woman's) best friend is just one of her inbred talents---she's also a grand champion at tracking down criminals...the two-legged kind.
Evil Breeding
Dog's Life columnist Holly Winter has just landed a plum contract to write a book on Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge's legendary pre-World War II dog shows. Holly arranges to interview one of the last living participants in those fabulously opulent and exclusive shows: canine fancier B. Robert Motherway. But there's something decidedly unsettling about the gracious old gent's imposing home with its acres of kennels. His dying wife wails piteously in an upstairs room, his servants are his sullen son and his downtrodden daughter-in-law, and his favorite German shepherd dog has an ill-bred snarl. Meanwhile, Holly's mail is laced with anonymous packages-old photographs, letters in German, and a brochure on pills for listless pooches. Nothing makes sense until a garroted body is found in a nearby cemetery. Suddenly Holly and her Alaskan malamutes, Rowdy and Kimi, are on a seventy-year-old trail of deception, decadence, and death. And either they unearth the skeletons or join them. From the Paperback edition.
