A CANINE CRUISE. A STORM OF MURDER. A LABRADOR NAMED XXXXXXX: OVERWEIGHT, OVERLY INTELLIGENT—AND OVERBOARD…

    Hmm, these are harder than first thought. And as far as I can tell, one is not part of a series we both like, unless I am way off! Which I could be, it’s early here! Have a great day!

    I love dog characters – you can learn a lot about the human characters with the interactions.

    This was fun. I love book hunts. The only problem is while searching, I come across so many books to add to my TBR. lol. I have a lab, my KC, and a shih tzu, my Zoey. I know the books are really fun ones because dogs are just goofy, (mine anyway – could be goofy parenting I guess), loving and fun. I love my goofs.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Our dogs aren’t nearly that cultured. They like to chase each other and sleep all day. Not a bad way to spend their days. However, they can’t read and that is their biggest loss of all.

    I don’t know what I love more, dogs or a good mystery book. Probably dogs but a good mystery is a very close second.
