Summary: Virginia Lanier, Jo Beth and Bobby Lee do it again!
Review: Virginia Lanier has brought Jo Beth Siddon back again with her beloved Bobby Lee taking the spotlight. Jo Beth and her "family", both human and bloodhound, have become great friends to her faithful readers. Lanier knows the swamp. It is her next door neighbor and she makes you feel the heat and humidity, the terror of the unseen source of a dry rattle somewhere nearby, the agony of no-seeums, as well as the beauty of the swamp. If you have never had a chance to visit the Okefenokee Swamp, you will want to do so after reading Lanier's books and going into it with Jo Beth and her trusty hounds on quests for lost children, murderers, escaped convicts, and green outdoorsmen who go into the swamp thinking they know it all. Lanier also captures the real people from the good ole' boys to genteel southern ladies even those like Jo Beth who tend to be a bit liberated. She gives short courses in southern country manners and hospitality through her characters as well as tossing in the odd mysteries that let Jo Beth and her bloodhounds shine. A couple of tips. If you have never read any of the "bloodhound" books, go first to Bloodhound Red and get to know Jo Beth and the gang and read them in the order written. The second tip, allow plenty of time for reading because once you start, you won't want to put any one of them down.

Summary: Jo Beth does it again!
Review: A Brace of Bloodhounds continues to amuse and entertain as Jo Beth Sidden and her wonderfully trained bloodhounds once again pursue the bad guys through the swamplands of southern Georgia. Jo Beth is a gutsy woman with plenty of moxy. Virginia Lanier writes knowledgeably about the use of bloodhounds in search and rescue. Her love for this special breed of dogs is apparent

Summary: As we say down here in the South,, DANG GOOD'EN
Review: From the Opening chapter, Miz JoBeth Siddon, drags us along herlife and adventure. Wonderful cultural "Points of the South"along the way. Great new charcters, plenty of old ones to fill out a Dang Good mystery. Funny, sad, scary and full of heart felt quips, fast moving and never boring. Me I'm in love with the dogs, Hound Dogs.

Summary: Another great Lanier read!!!
Review: Got the hardcover for a looong bus ride across the desert. I was never bored a minute! I almost wish I had a bloodhound after reading this series, although I know they are not a dog for me. The characters are ones you follow from book to book. She should hurry up and write the next one!

Summary: Virginia Lanier you need to write faster!!!
Review: I first read about Virginia Lanier's books in a Jacksonville Florida Times Union Article and maybe because it was about dogs ... I was curious so I bought her first book ... Death In Bloodhound Lane ... actually I bought the second one at the same time ... Good thing because I couldn't wait to dive into House on Bloodhound Lane. I waited a whole two weeks before caving in and buying A Brace of Bloodhounds in hardcover. And now I must wait until July to read her next book. I read a lot ... but Virginia Lanier captures me on page one and doesn't let go until I reach the end ... and then I want to read more. I do not understand why she isn't way up there on the Best Seller list ... if you love dogs ... Sue Grafton .... Mary Higgins Clark ... John Grisham ... and the South, etc. ...pick one of her books up .... you'll see!

Summary: Superb Reading
Review: I have read all of Virginia Lanier's books (date of review 8/7/00). All five are full of excitement and suspense as well as romance and humor. Being a dog lover myself, I was fascinated by the nuances of caring for, training, and working with bloodhounds. I just finished her last book in the series and I will sorely miss Jo Beth and her adventures into the swamp with her magnificent dogs. I am eagerly awaiting the next one!
