This is another really good book from Jeffrey M. Poole. I have read several other books by this author and thought I give another one a try. It did not disappoint. All his books(that I've read) are quick reads but have a really good story with good characters (yes even the corgis) that keep the story moving right along. If you are looking for a good, quick read you found it.

This short story didn't grab me as much as others in the Corgi Case Files. It was a bit meh! As an aside, it seemed like author J.M. Poole was channelling author CW Hawes. The writing style and "voice" was SO similar!
