Bat Crazy

Denton and Alex Davies Mystery #2

by Carole Brown

This book has been republished with a new Dry Bones at Bat Cave.Red-eyed Monster Bats that attack humans? Denton doesn’t think so and Alex hopes not, but who are they to quibble with the local gossip? Transmission problems and a blown tire land Denton and Alex Davies right in the middle of a dilapidated, unfriendly town that’s welcoming no strangers, least of all nosy ones with a bent toward solving mysteries. But with support from the town detective--an admirer of the Davies--and their own tenacious personalities, Denton and Alex aren’t easily scared off. Not when warnings in the form of painted bats show up on the porch of their rented cabin, not when the mayor threatens to run them out of town and not even when Denton finds the bones . . . An ancient story, a bit of a map, a lost jewel and even a bat clan serve to provide the Davies and their sidekick, Taffy, the dog, their hardest case so far.

I loved Hog Insane, the first book in this series, and loved this one too. Denton and Alex, the main characters, because of RV trouble find them themselves once again in the middle of suspicious activities and another mystery that needs to be solved. I was pulled into this story from the first pages and was was kept guessing until the final pages to see what could possibly happen next. This is another one from this author that I definitely recommend, and I am certainly looking forward to see what is going to happen with Denton and Alex in the next book.

Monster Bats with red eyes that attack humans?

Denton doesn’t think so and Alex hopes not, but who are they to quibble with the local gossip?

Transmission problems and a blown tire land Denton and Alex Davies right in the middle of a dilapidated, unfriendly town that’s welcoming no strangers, least of all nosy ones with a bent toward solving mysteries.

Not when warnings in the form of painted bats show up on the porch of their rented cabin, not when the mayor threatens to run them out of town and not even when Denton finds the bones . . .

Wonderful Mystery. I enjoyed this book so much. It had me guessing until the very end of the book. This is the second book in the series. I have not read the first one but can't wait to read it now that I have read this one. This was well written and I felt like I was right there trying to solve the mystery with them.

A great cozy mystery with a touch of humor. The author has a great writing style and character development. I love Alex and Denton and the way they always land in the middle of trouble. I look forward to more of their adventures. I received a copy of the book for this honest review
