The takes

What we have said about Carol Lea Benjamin

  • The second Rachel Alexander mystery. Carol Lea Benjamin writing a New York dog-trainer turned PI. The dog material is the genuine article.

  • A Hell Of A Dog by Carol Lea Benjamin review. The 3rd Rachel Alexander mystery. A dog-training conference, a possible murder, and the most insider dog material in any PI series.

  • Lady Vanishes by Carol Lea Benjamin review. The 4th Rachel Alexander mystery. A missing dog, a Manhattan upper-class family, and Benjamin at her most carefully observed.

  • The Wrong Dog by Carol Lea Benjamin review. The 5th Rachel Alexander mystery. A genetic-cloning case and the most morally complicated entry in the dog-mystery sequence.

  • The Long Good Dog by Carol Lea Benjamin review. The 6th Rachel Alexander novel. A Westminster Kennel Club case and Benjamin's most carefully observed dog-show writing.

  • Fall Guy by Carol Lea Benjamin review. A standalone Benjamin novel outside the Rachel Alexander series. Pleasant change of register, useful for readers who want her voice in a different form.
