The Charlie Mack Motown Mystery Canine Contest

 

The Thin Man’s Nick and Nora James are never far from Asta their terrier.  Columbo loves his basset hound.  Private Eye, V.I. Warshawski has a rescue Golden named Peppy.

The dog of a sleuth has to have personality, curiosity and patience.

In the fourth book of the Charlie Mack Motown Mysteries, Judge Me When I’m Wrong, Charlie Mack and Mandy Porter adopt a rescue dog. The compromise on a canine name came by using their first initials: MC––and, of course, Hammer had to follow. Dubbed Hamm for short, their male pooch is described only as a lop-eared, mixed-breed with a friendly tail and soulful eyes.   

In honor of the fifth book in the Charlie Mack Motown Mystery series, Find Me When I’m Lost,  (July 28, 2020). I’m announcing the:

WHAT DOES HAMM LOOK LIKE? Contest .

  Here are other hints given about Hamm in the book series:
