Book Review By Tracey Ray
Isle Of Dogs by Patricia Cornwell

Trooper Andy Brazil starts a new website that becomes the focus of much confusion. The Governor, his family and staff, the Chief of Police, a crooked dentist, a gang, and residents of Tangiere Island, humorously become pawns in the confusion of the Trooper Truth website. This site is the common denominator that changes the lives of many in ways unimagined including criminals of all kinds. This book reveals the comical side to life bringing to light much of what is often overlooked and unnoticed or unthought of.
