Meet Debbie: I've been with the library for 30 years.  I'm currently the facilities assistant.  It is my job to keep the building functioning and looking good inside and out.

I enjoy reading a variety of books.  I especially enjoy the dog mysteries but will sneak a cat one in... especially Lilian Jackson Braun.  As well as reading the actual book, I really enjoy listening to them while in the car.

Meet her list: Whether actually helping solve the crime or just in the background, dogs play a major role in dog mystery books!  Some books have a delightful dog in them but in a more "supporting" role or of that of a good doggie side-kick.  The setting can be a dog show or classroom.  If a crime is committed these doggie sleuths will sniff out the clues.

There are loads of dog/human mysteries but here are my favorite authors.
