Oh this little dachsie completely stole my heart! Sweet little Dash was abandoned by a guy who ended up murdered, and Nikki's good heart of rescuing him from where she saw him sure led to the lion's share of trouble for her, although she got a lion's share of love from Dash. But hey, how cool was it to find out her grandma was still there at the mansion? I think I'd take a friendly ghost of a grandma over never being able to see her again. It's hilarious that she wanted to be a detective, but being a ghost definitely had its advantages! It turned out Audrey's suspicions about some illegal things going on were spot on.
Audrey seemed like she'd have been coolest grandma ever, dead or alive. Birdie was such an awesome character too, and I did like Lacey who Nikki thought was always a big boyfriend stealer, but she seemed oblivious to having done that. Hearing her tell her reason was pretty funny! However Nikki thought she was in school, she was definitely changed and right on board to go sleuthing with the others. It's too bad only Birdie and Nikki can see Audrey though!
Dash had a sweetheart named Honey at the shelter, so two dogs ended up getting a forever home after the perp was caught. That little guy cracked me up and makes me wonder if the author has dachsies in her family because she's really nailed their personality! My dachshund does so much of what Dash was doing and boy, if she could talk she'd be telling me the very same things he told Nikki. I can't wait for the next book! Yep, having a dachshund being part of the story pulled me into the series, but I'm staying for him and the other characters!
