Heroic Measures by Jill Ciment
4.0
A taut thriller about an elderly couple and a sick Dachshund. Seriously. And it's wonderful. A New York on high alert and the craziness of real estate also feature, but the ultimate question is "Will Dorothy the Dachshund be okay?" As entertaining as the other elements were, I didn't care what happened as long as she survived. Which is probably not what I should write actually, seeing as there was a madman loose in NYC putting people in danger.
Anyway, let's put my raging pet love aside and say this little book is chock-full of sweetness and loyalty, what it means to accept change as we age, and the comfort of loved ones. I don't need a fifth dog, but I certainly wouldn't mind having a little wiener dog as a pet at some point in my life. A well-written quick, cozy read. Ended a bit abruptly for my tastes, but still really great!
