Let Loose the Dogs

Review “Not only the most generously plotted of MurdochвЂTMs four cases… but the one whose constant reminders of mortality… are the most piercing.” – *Kirkus Reviews "No author has mined Toronto's past . . . with the dedication to detail of mystery writer Maureen Jennings. . . . Let Loose the Dogs follows Murdoch through a dense plot centred on a bloodthirsty gambling event of the era." - Toronto Star "Jennings is too tough and honest a writer to let anyone off her moral hook, even her hero." - New York Times Book Review "Perhaps [the] darkest and most complex novel in this well-received Victorian series." - Publishers Weekly* From the Paperback edition.
