Story
Meet the Hunter family: Adam, Kate and their children, Hal and Charlotte. And Prince, their black Labrador. Prince is an earnest young dog, striving hard to live up to the tenets of the Labrador Pact (Remain loyal to your human masters, serve and protect your family at any cost). Other dogs, led by the Springer Spaniels, have revolted. As things in the Hunter family begin to go badly awry - marital breakdown, rowdy teenage parties, attempted suicide - Prince's responsibilities threaten to overwhelm him, and he is forced to break the Labrador Pact.

loved Rev. Cole's voice as narrator

Disliked the use of the F word in such a book, it jarred against the background of religion and the gentility of a bye gone era.
otherwise, a very good read, which I would recommend to others.

'Maigret looked at him in some confusion, wondering if he was dealing with a skilful actor or, on the contrary, with a sickly little man who found consolation in a subtle sense of humour.' A series of anonymous letters leads Maigret into the wealthy household of an eminent lawyer and a curious game of cat and mouse with Paris high society.

struggling to finish this tedious book the characters are self absorbed and whingeing so hard to like any of them. Used to love Trollope, but this has put me off
