This is book 7 in the Barkview Mysteries series. I have not read any of the previous books but had no problems enjoying the characters and the story. Barkview sounds like a lovely place to live. It's time for the annual gingerbread house contest and the contestants are dropping like flies. An old civil war mystery is intertwined with the murders. Will be looking for some of the previous titles.

My first read from author and I enjoyed it be very much. I haven’t read the other books in the series so I will be checking those out for sure.

This was an amazing dog story I would recommend to every dog lover out there. It was a fun Christmas story.

This was completely ridiculous and exactly what I expected. I just really love the dogs, and the dog forensics team was so ridiculous that it was fun. Was this actually insane? Honestly yeah. But it was fun and full of dogs and that's really all one can ask for.

This is an excellent read, especially for animal lovers! Cat Hawk lives in Barkview where the annual gingerbread house contest, featuring dog houses only is being held. Pastry chefs are coming from all across the country. When a previous winner is found dead, Cat takes in Ginger and Spice, a duo of dachshunds who are constantly up to mischief. Filled with likeable characters and an engaging plot, this cozy is perfect for reading with your fur baby by your side. Thanks#Netgalley and #BooksGoSocial for the eARC in exchange for a honest review. All opinions are mine.

I loved this book. The characters were engaging, the plot was interesting and kept me reading, and the dogs were an addition instead of a distraction from the main book.

This is a cute and cozy mystery that was the perfect book to read while snuggled up by the Christmas tree with a pup laying by my feet.

Thank you NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for my review and opinion.

It’s Christmas in Barksville, the most dog friendly town in the country, which means the annual gingerbread house (for dogs, of course) competition. But when one of the contestants is murdered, Catalina ‘Cat’ Hawl-Wright finds herself the foster mom of two very feisty very smart dachshunds, a position she is not sure she’s prepared for. However, when the murder seems linked to a long-hidden treasure and things start heating up fast, they may prove to be the best help as well as protection she could ask for.

Dachshund to Death is the seventh in the Barkview Mysteries cozy mystery series by.C.B. Wilson but the first I’ve read. It started slowly but, once it got going, it was an enjoyable tale with a good mystery that kept me guessing and a likeable main protagonist but, at least for me, it was the dogs who kept me reading. Overall, a fun Christmas cozy. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

Thanks to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review

Just loved this! Believable characters and plot. Nice easy read to escape and relax for a few hours. Ideal read for mystery lovers of all ages.

well plotted, solid and entertaining cozy mystery. I had fun and it kpet me guessing
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A DNF for me. At 45% of the book I'd had enough of this absurd storyline.

I love a cosy murder, and I though the Sausage Dog angle would be amusing but sadly it was just ridiculous. From doggy cafes, to doggy gingerbread to a town with 1.4 dogs per person I was just about coping, but when the doggy forensic team came in, I don't know to swab the dogs for blood splatter or something it had slipped into the realms of nonsense. There was more about dogs and doggy day care than the murder which apparently was over a gingerbread recipe.

Perhaps if you have sausage dogs you will like the references to them but for me life was too short for this.

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, the author and publisher. Thank you to them and this will be an honest review.

This book has some really cute elements to it and I enjoyed the Gingerbread Dog House baking competition as well as the fact that the whole town is dog related.

When the owner of Ginger and Spice, two rambuncious dachshunds, is killed; Cat Hawl is in for a surprise when she is tasked with looking after them. She is really more of a cat person. She is also in charge of the competition and she needs to find the killer. She really has her hands full.

The story has a lot of heart, however, I found some of the plot a little hard to follow and I'm not a big fan of the author's style of writing.

That said though, it has all the cozy Christmas feels and lovers of this series will be over the moon with a new Barkview Mystery.

Set in the Town Of Barkview in California, we enter America’s dog friendliest town to a ginger dog house competition where one of the competitors has been murdered. The body is discovered by local sleuth and TV station owner Cat, who isn’t a great dog fan, but who inherits the victims two tenacious dachshunds. The plot includes a missing gingerbread recipe, stolen gold and sibling rivalry.

I struggled with this book, too many breaks in the plot for mentions of doggy day,care, dog cafes , pooches pamper parlours, with every canine reference possible for all the facilities in the town. Books like people are all different, some we like, some we love and some we just don’t get on with, but other people do, so although it wasn’t my cup of tea it might be yours

First of all, I have owned Dachshunds for years, so I enjoy reading any books with them in it. I have never read this series before, and there were some references to other adventures that had gone on, but nothing that really made a difference to the story. The town of Barkville sounds like a fun place to live, but if anything, there are way too many dogs mentioned. Never thought I would say anything like that! One complaint is that throughout the story it seemed the whole point in finding the recipe was that it possibly had clues to finding a treasure from the Civil War. When the recipe was finally found, it seemed like the story ended abruptly, no one really cared about the treasure and everyone went home for the night. So, no follow through on that.

I gotta admit I did jump ahead in the series because the featured dogs were dachshunds and oh my, were they ever the typical little mischief makers dachsies can be. But they were fiercely loyal even to their foster mom and dad, Cat and Russ.

Cat’s sure come a long way since that very first book in how she interacts with dogs. I was really hoping she’d be adding two dachshunds to her life but eventually could see someone else was better suited. Since Jack from the very first book’s still around, I’m hoping Ginger and Spice make an appearance in some future books.
What a showdown! I always love a good takedown done by the main character that involves some amazing pet friends. The side mystery of a family recipe was resolved but there’s still another question or two about it I have no doubts Cat’s gonna look into at some point.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book, and my opinions are my own.

This was a great cozy mystery. The dogs were an added bonus!

Cat is hosting the annual gingerbread competition when a murder takes place.

I just love cozy mysteries this time of year. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series. Very entertaining and I highly recommend.

Thank you NetGalley for the arc of this book.

'Dachshund to Death' by C.B. Wilson.
I mainly picked this book because of the cover and the title. I love dogs and murder mysteries and a good pun, so what a perfect book.
This book kept me guessing till near the end, so that is always good with a murder mystery. I love Ginger and Spice the two Dachshunds. I would definitely read more by the author, it was a lovely simple read, perfect for fans of cozy mysteries.
Thankyou to NetGallery UK, the publisher and the author for letting me read this in return for an honest revies.

#DachshundToDeathADogLoversCozyMystery #NetGalley is a cute cozy mystery.
I found it difficult to start, it was a bit all over the place, but it ended up being a cute mystery.

I enjoyed this book but thought the plotting was a bit chaotic, especially in the beginning. It does smooth out towards the end. I loved the dogs! The inclusion of the Civil War treasure is interesting, and I liked how they find the recipe. I thought it highlighted the bad guys by the typical evil behavior throughout the story making it obvious. #DachshundToDeath#NetGalley

I absolutely adore a good cozy mystery! And add dogs to the mix? Perfect!

This book was such a fun read! An interesting mystery (that had me fooled most of the way through). A unique setting filled with quirky, fun (while also believable) characters. A pair of Doxies in danger!!

And it all starts with a gingerbread doghouse competition! (Don't forget the dog-friendly ingredients!)

Looking for a cute holiday read? This is it!
