Publisher Description

Newly installed superintendent of the Virginia State Police, Judy Hammer, and her right hand and confidant, Andy Brazil, are at their wits’ end trying to protect the public from the politicians – and vice versa.

And amid the mayhem, an island off the coast of Virginia declares UDI – claiming its independence lies in the history of America’s first settlers, those who set sail from London’s Isle of Dogs in 1607.

" Although this is considered one of Cornwell's least well-written books, I throughly enjoyed. I lived in the area she described and yes, it is exactly like that. I just don't think you can appreciate it,untill you've dealt with the society she portrays. "

— Betsy (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Isle of Dogs is a comic romp…a funny, diverting read.”

    — Amazon.com, editorial review
  • “This wry, witty, and knowing look at the behind-the-scenes turmoil of police departments—and the lives of men and women in blue—once again showcases Cornwell’s darkly comic talents. Those talents may be less familiar to the legions of Kay Scarpetta fans out there, but they are no less powerful.”

    — Barnes & Noble, editorial review
  • “Move over Carl Hiaasen, you’ve got company. Patricia Cornwell has switched to Hiaasen’s world of black humor and nearly conquers it.”

    — San Francisco Examiner

Awards

  • A #1 New York Times bestseller

    " Humorous and sexy. I just had difficulty with how long it took Sky to realize that in trying to please her mother and not live her life for a man, she was actually not living her own life but the one her mother wanted. "

    " I LOVE Patricia Cornwell and have read other Judy Hammer books, but this one, dunno, premise was rather ludicrous and just could not get into it, even after 2 weeks. Very disappointed. I mean, a character with the name of Unique First??? no, doesn't work for me. "

    " While I like the historical information, the narrative just seems silly to me. I can't think of Cornwell writing in what seems to me a slapstick humor manner. Disappointing. "

    " It was a humorous crime novel, parodying the State of Virginia, its governor, and state police.Clever, but a mixed genre I almost quit on twice. Too light. "

    " If the 421 pages were 42.1 pages the short story would have been interesting and probably enjoyable. The tale wasn't bad. It was just the extra 90% of junk words to make it a sizable & sellable as a novel [the writing was novel]. "

    " Don't bother reading this mystery by Patricia Cornwell. This is just a bad read - no likable or believable charactors, no direction, too many unrelated subplots, etc. There is a feeble attempt of comedy but it bombs. I cannot think of anything good to say about it. "

    " We listened to this book on a long road trip. I had no idea Patricia Cornwell could be so funny. Completely preposterous and implausible but certainly kept our attention on the long drive. "
