The gravity of the search for proof to convict the serial killer is lightened with queries by Jamie about the status of the wedding, the reception, Jack's obtaining the marriage license. A humorous note that helps alleviate the tension is the role of Jack's dog dressed in a tuxedo acting as Jack's best man The story is an engrossing one filled with suspense. The characters are pleasant people whom you would like to know. Jack has continuing problems with his adopted New York teenager, Leon.

There are many dog training ideas and tips throughout the book. I found it interesting that the author is opposed to the neutering of animals, which is in direct contradiction to the universal plea by the Humane Society.
