Meanwhile, a boy gets up, gets dressed and takes his dog out to play. In the garage, the boy finds a pail and net. Then dog and boy go down to the water to try and capture the frog.

The Curious Affair of the Third Dog: Henry Tibbett #11 (Henry Tibbett #11)
by Patricia Moyes&“A mystery that throws Superintendent Henry Tibbett and wife Emmy head first into the greyhound racing underworld; a lively read.&” —Northern Echo One of the oddities of Golden Age fiction was its fixation on the occult and the generally weird—ancient gypsy curses, haunted burial grounds, etc. It&’s therefore something of a relief to settle in with the refreshingly literal Ms. Moyes: When a title refers to a third dog, we are not talking about some metaphysical barking: There were three dogs and now one is missing. Up in arms about this is Emmy Tibbett&’s sister Jane, a stalwart of the animal-rights movement and a trial to the other locals, who are a lot more concerned with the fact that one of their number has recently been hauled off to prison for the minor crime of having killed someone while drunk. Happily, Henry Tibbett soon shows up to connect the two and restore order to the village . . . though not before being forced to dress in drag.Praise for Patricia Moyes &“The author who put the &‘who&’ back in whodunit.&” —Chicago Daily News &“A new queen of crime . . . her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh.&” —Daily Herald &“An excellent detective novel in the best British tradition. Superbly handled.&” —Columbus Dispatch &“Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters distinguish Patricia Moyes&’ writing.&” —Mystery Scene
