There are a few markers of adulthood that are unexpected, but I believe once identified are unmistakable.

Thriftbits: The Long Good Boy

This is quite possibly the strangest premise for a crime novel I’ve ever seen.

So far, I can tell that this book involves a dachshund and some ladies-of-the-evening.

According to my very brief bit of research, Carol Lea Benjamin is a renowned dog trainer as well as a former private investigator. Both of these areas of expertise come into play in The Long Good Boy:

Rachel and Dash have a new client. Well, three new clients. A trio of transvestite working girls want Rachel to investigate the death of one of their own. Rosalinda’s throat was slashed on Halloween right after the Greenwich Village parade. Finding her killer isn’t exactly the NYPD’s top priority—and LaDonna, Chi Chi, and Jasmine are terrified that they’ll be next.

Rachel and Dash (her pit bull) gets some extra help from Chi Chi’s clever mini-dachshund, Clint, in solving the mystery killing.

So do Rachel and Dash solve the murder? You’ll have to order The Long Good Boy to find out!
