Marfree, acidfree NEW 1stEd; not written-in, remainder, reprint or ex-library. Fine/Fine Bluegreen undented paperboards gilt titles on spine; unclipped orig art DJ slightly buffed. Pawprint on 1/2 tp; "George & Maggie" + autor sig on TP. Mail SAMEDAY! ; 8.54" x 5.78" x 0.96"; 256 pages; From Library Journal: Benjamin's second series mystery fulfills the promise of her debut, This Dog for Hire (LJ 11/1/96) . A wealthy couple hire Rachel Alexander, a free-spirited sleuth who lives in Greenwich Village with her pit bull, Dashiell, to find out why their apparently happy daughter jumped out a fifth-floor window. Rachel finds the answer (murder, of course) by "assuming" the dead woman's life: wearing her clothes, learning t'ai chi, and meeting her friends. Crisp, clean, and focused, with a great heroine and canines; an enjoyable read. Susan R. Farber -VOYA: Aided by her faithful sidekick Dashiell, a pit bull, Greenwich Village P. I. Rachel Alexander investigates the death of a young woman named Lisa, who allegedly jumped out of the window of her t'ai chi dojo. Lisa's wealthy, grieving parents give Rachel the keys to Lisa's condo and Rachel immerses herself in Lisa's life, even to the point of wearing her clothes and jewelry and sleeping with her boyfriend. As Rachel sorts through the ominously screwy students at the t'ai chi school, she begins to unearth evidence more suggestive of murder than suicide. Benjamin's heroine Rachel Alexander is an admirable private investigator who is not quite as gritty as Kinsey Milhone but manages to keep her head on her shoulders even when faced with grave danger. Rachel has some great, funny one-liners, which relieve the tremendous tension that permeates the mystery and makes her much more than a one-dimensional stereotype. Benjamin is well known in dog training circles and equally well known in dog-writing circles. Mother Knows Best: The Natural Way to Train Your Dog (Howell, 1985) is considered to be the classic in the field, and the prolific Benjamin also has written extensively for the American Kennel Club Gazette magazine. Her first Rachel Alexander mystery, This Dog for Hire (Walker, 1996/VOYA February 1997) , was favorably reviewed. The series will be enjoyed by readers who also like Susan Conant and Laurien Berenson's mysteries. VOYA Codes: 4Q 4P S (Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses, Broad general YA appeal grades 10 to 12) . From Kirkus Reviews: Why mess with success? Dog-trainer/p. I. Rachel Alexander's second case is so much like her fine debut (This Dog for Hire, 1996) that she could sue herself for plagiarism. Again there's a mysterious death-this time t'ai chi instructor Lisa Jacobs's alleged suicide-witnessed only by the victim's dog; again the stricken survivors are looking for an explanation for the inexplicable (why would got-it-all Lisa leave a note saying, "I'm sorry. Lisa, " and take a header out her window? ) ; again Rachel hits the mean streets accompanied by her pit bull Dash. "You won't learn anything worthwhile about Lisa by asking questions, " Lisa's mentor and former boss Avi Ashkenasi tells Rachel. "You must walk in her shoes. " So as Rachel sweats to figure out which of Lisa's friends and students would've been most unhinged by her plans to move to China-and sweats too at the t'ai chi studio, the swimming pool, and the gym where she goes to ask all the questions she shouldn't-she wears Lisa's perfume and bracelet as well as her shoes, carries her keys, and beds her lover, half-Chinese swim coach Paul Wilcox. But her attempts to isolate a prime suspect fail when the front-runner gets killed-just like last time-clearing the way for another ton of moondust and (a sad innovation) an abrupt and arbitrary climax. ; Signed by Author. 0802733123.
