In the Heart of Mystery Lies Redemption...

Every Sunday, Oona the St. Berdoodle and her current owner, Zsuzsu, make their way through the winding paths of the State Park to the enigmatic Redemption Center—a place often mistaken for a haunted mansion.

When a local celebrity is found murdered, the unexpected brings Oona together with a rag-tag group of local misfits. Together they venture into the depths of the Center's mystery to untangle the threads of murder and deception.

But Oona holds two secrets: she’s a citizen of the multiverse, able to travel between dimensions at will, and more importantly, she knows the killer's identity. Unfortunately, the killer knows she knows, and he’s determined to find her and silence her for good.

An extra-dimensional murder mystery with conundrums, alien tricksters, and a dog detective who just doesn’t know the meaning of “stay”.

A mysterious dog, Oona, who travels between dimensions helps a diverse cast of characters solve a murder.  Problem is Oona knows who the murderer is and the murderer knows that Oona knows.

I wanted to like this, I tried really hard to like this but I found myself putting it down and days would pass before I reluctantly picked it up again. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I DNF a book but I just couldn’t get into this one.  It moves slowly, and not in a good way. It jumps back and forth in time and between characters who are never fully developed and frankly are not particularly likeable.  The mentions of differing cultures and folklore should have made the characters more interesting but just seemed disjointed.  Honestly the only character I really liked was the dog. I am sure there is an audience out there for this but unfortunately it is not me.  ~~ Stephanie L Bannon
