My Review:
I love reading a story about an owner and their pets. Especially when a murder mystery is involved, This was like an adult version of Scooby Doo. This was a very easy read and I loved reading all the recipes as well. The mystery was interesting, and why did someone want to kill Hank's wife? Not only that but why did someone want to frame Hank? There are also missing drugs, Halloween parties and a lot of ear scratching. I also liked the excerpt for "The Fatal Funnel Cake". The end was good, and I thought that it fit the rest of the plot very well. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review from Night Owl Reviews, however all opinions are my own.
