In the third installment of A Dog and His Girl Mysteries, things are going to the cats!
Dodge and Cassie can't visit the senior center or take a walk without landing in a mystery or two. Something's up with the vitamins some people in town are taking--and something doesn't seem right about an eccentric neighbor's mysterious "fall" that leaves thirteen pets in need of homes. The former K-9 and his girl will leave no ladder unclimbed or rosebush uninvestigated to get to the bottom of the case!
Jane B. Mason grew up in a large family in northern Minnesota. She has written books for kids of all ages under many names and on many subjects, among them ghosts, Jedi, detective duos, princesses, twins, mean girls, and slam books.
Jane has lived in the midwest and on both coasts, but appears to have settled in Oakland, California, and writes almost every day at either a friend's dining room table or a little studio in her back yard, where she has a purple loveseat, a whole lotta books, and an odd selection of trinkets she has unwittingly been collecting since she was a child.
This is a great book! Though I have not read the first two, Play Dead and Dead Man's Best Friend, I love this one! Mysteries have always been in my fancy, but this one is a better one! I even pretended to be helping Cassie solve the mystery of Madame LeFarge's death, and had taken notes. This book also gave an unexpected turn, with Bill Heinz being the culprit with his Pepper-Uppers.
Cassie and Dodge are back on the case! Everything is going fine for Cassie, school, friends, and family. Now her mom is back on the job again making it harder than ever to get the clues and solve the case. Madame Lafarge constantly calls the police station on random "suspicious" events. But one day she might not call by mistake. In the middle of the night police find Madame's body dead in her kitchen. The evidence shows that Madame simply fell and hit her head. But Cassie knows Madame, and she wouldn't go down that easy. Maybe Madame wasn't being crazy when she called the station. Maybe there really was someone in her house? If there was who had the motive? This fun, crazy, and mysterious novel will have you laughing, crying, and on the edge of your seat. See if Cassie and Dodge sniff out the mystery in Cry Woof!
