Query: Disappointed...

I love Bassett Hounds ...and Mysteries! - I thought what better combination than to find both in one book!?! I was very disappointed...the plot was thin and the resolution was easy to figure out half way through reading it.....and, I must add, when will some authors figure out that most of us read for pleasure....we don't need the author's personal agenda that permeates a storyline and keeps popping up in the characters' comments....if we want that, we'll read non-fiction.
