Critic reviews

"The Browns once again blend plot, character and atmosphere with plenty of wit and charm to create a delightful entertainment." (Publishers Weekly)
"Colorful, by now familiar characters, sharp humor, a clever plot, and talking, semi-anthropomorphic animals whose powers of observation and deduction often surpass those of their human associates (even the stable mice squeak out) make for fast-course entertainment." (Booklist)

I love these stories!

I'm hooked. Great for any animal lover. Gives you a whole new perspective. On to the next one!

Humanity

All of browns stories are fun, great characters and perfect for driving. I love the interactions with the animals.

A riveting mystery

This was so much fun to listen to; the mystery kept building at every turn- a very enjoyable listen!

Good read

I like these books but at times have a hard time knowing what character the reader is voicing. I do enjoy Kate Forbes reading however.

Good as always!

Animal comments on human behaviour wonderful , plot simplistic and too few clues to allow reader to fairly solve the mystery...unless....
