About a young woman Jo Beth in south Georgia who breeds bloodhounds and uses them in tracks. The characterizations are great; Jo Beth is feisty, strong-willed and so much more likeable than Cornwell's sour Kay. And the bloodhounds - the shivers that went down my spine when they started baying. My daughter read the book after I did; her complaint was that there seemed to be no plot. (!) Must be a generation gap. My local bookstore has Lanier's second copy (HOUSE ON BLOODHOUND LANE).
