His mother has just died, he is an addicted poker player, and (hugely in debt), his real estate business is sinking, and he doesn’t really like his longtime girlfriend. When he gets saddled with an abandoned dog, he doesn’t think things can get worse. And then Reg the dog starts talking --and only Dave can hear him. At first Dave thinks he’s gone crazy, but he soon realizes he’s found his soul mate. Dave and Reg start off on a madcap adventure that will find them tangled up with the mob, involved in an illegal real estate deal, cleaning up at the poker table, and stumbling toward true love. Full of dry British wit, this book was a lot of fun. A few fun twists but not a great deal of suprises. Reg the dog and Barrowcliffe’s ability to put all the endearing dog mannerism into words is well worth the price of admission. All gets wrapped up a little too nicely but the pros far outweigh the cons. ( ) Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

A good deed leads him into the company of powerful men who want to be Dave's friend. His girlfriend can't get enough of him. So what exactly is Dave's problem? And then there's the dog...
