If you are looking for a witty, entertaining and rather charming murder mystery featuring a reluctant sleuth and a desperate dog, look no further.

When the police determine that Lady Charlotte Lazerton's death was due to natural causes (though the situation was certainly not helped by her dog Mortimer eating part of her!), her protege Torben Helle finds himself in an awkward position when he begins to suspect otherwise.

Inevitably, this leads to a further investigation by Torben, who teams up with an unlikely ally in his search for justice for his mentor. There's plenty of action to come, including some red herrings served on a platter, with a satisfactory conclusion for all concerned. This is an enjoyable and satisfying read and gets 3. 5 stars.

Oh this is good! Cosy crime but some really good mystery elements in two. It's very funny too in parts and just a really good read. I liked the first and I loved the second!
