The plot device that puts this murder solving ghost writing biographer at the center of the action is an effective way for him to hear multiple points of view as he interviews those who surround his client's life story - the Bassett hound is also pretty wonderful but therein lies the rub - our protagonist & narrator just does not seem physically strong enough to be lifting and carrying a full grown basselope as though she were a kitten ;)
