I was very impressed by the novel. It was fairly short but I did not feel that anything was missing. The fact that one of the dogs was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel first drew me to the book but the central characters and their complex relationships sustained my interest as much as the danger and the mystery.

Target practice with her and her former boss as the target
Another great read in the series. The missing dog of her former boss has her, him and her dog in the crossfire of a sniper. Why? Who? The case they think is responsible for the attempt has the perpetrator still in prison although he is supposed to go up against the parole board shortly. Abuse, a lesbian affair, a conniving mother, identity fraud and more are all interwoven into a read that will keep you enthralled. As will the fact that her biological father wants to meet with her and the woman that split them up three years ago comes to visit. Will she stop the perpetrator from being eligible for parole? Will she find out who was behind the shooting? Will she forgive Luke?
Wonderful storyline and can't wait to see what happens next.

A Lot of Heart in this Story
Alex's prior employer, the man who taught her how to be a private investigator, has lost his little dog. Alex brings Hero, her German shepherd search dog, to track the spaniel. Only clues indicate the spaniel was dognapped. Again, great sleuthing lead to a complicated plot where the dognapping was just one component of the plot. I love how Alex follows the leads and does creative searches to figure out the mystery. So many cozy mysteries I read have a lot more on the romance and relationships and little on pursuing clues. Those books end suddenly with the mystery miraculously unfolding. Not here. Not this series. I feel like I am watching a real detective track the clues and evidence and find the culprit. The mysteries are awesome.

Where oh where is the lost spaniel?
Certainly not where one would expect and not a location where one might have to duck for his/her life! Alex and her buddies have to deal with not only the stolen spaniel, but a man who, from his jail cell, has sworn vengeance on Alex and a retired policeman. Is he trying to set up an assassination?
Cozies usually feature amateur detectives, and the protagonist is most definitely not an amateur. However, the stories in the series read like a cozy with the languages and plots. These books are certainly appropriate for adults and teens alike, as well as precocious pre-teens (only you know what's appropriate for your pre-teen). You'll be rooting for the good guys to find the pets safe and sound.

Daisy is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
When the beloved dog goes missing,Eddie Hall calls his former employee and current friend, Alexandra (Alex) Prescott. Eddie was the private investigator who owned his own agency and trained her so she could get her license. She now has her own agency, specializing in finding lost pets. She is very good at what she does. I really like her character, as well as those with whom she works and romances. This is a highly recommend series.

Love this series
The characters are evolving. Shots fired. Misdirected clues point one way. The pet finding business is taking off. Surprises ahead. On to the next in the series. Smiling

Great read
Love this series, it's short and simple. Each novella can stand alone but makes more sense to read in order. Give it a try 😁

Love this series. Alex has some characteristics of mine and some I wish I had. While I wish the stories were longer they are just enough to finish and head to the next adventure.

Fast paced and full of action. When Alex gets a call from her old boss and mentor Eddie, she jumps at the chance to help him, even tho Lost and Found Pets is busier than ever. She is in for quite a ride and will have to be at the top of her game, her life just may depend on it.
More than just an investigation, Alex has her personal life throwing her curve ball after curve ball. Another amazing adventure with a teaser for the next book that has me anxiously waiting to get my hands on it!

Another good read
I just live these stories. They keep your attention until the end and you can't figure out what will happen.

I enjoyed this book. It introduced Eddie and he is a likable character. These are quick, action-packed reads and have caught my attention at the beginning of each book so far. Recommend.

Love This Series
The Lost Spaniel is the third novella in B. L. Blair’s Lost and Found Pets series. I love Ms. Blair’s writing style and she has once again succeeded in writing a wonderfully crafted whodunit that held my interest throughout the entire story. This well plotted mystery has a cast of well-developed and affable characters, and sends a strong message of caring and compassion. The story has enough suspects, and twists and turns to keep the reader involved. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy a good, clean mystery. I’m looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.
Alexandra ‘Alex’ Prescott loves animals and is the owner of Lost and Found Pets. Business is booming because a recent client, Grace Carmichael, started spreading the word about her services after Alex found Sammie, her family’s Savannah. When her former boss and mentor, Eddie Hill, contacts her about his missing Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Daisy, she drops everything to help him. Eddie, Alex, and Hero, her German Shepard who is a trained search and rescue dog, follow Daisy’s movements to an abandoned construction site and spot her sitting on the scaffolding. When they start moving toward her, someone starts shooting at them, and Hero is injured. From this point on, nothing matters to Alex except tracking down the shooter and discovering the reason behind the attack.
