Pooches and Pubs is a wonderful Doc and Daisy Mystery for Dog Lovers written by retired veterinarian, Dr. Stacey Bonner. Dr. Sue MacVety doesn’t expect to stumble across a murder at a housewarming, but she has the perfect partner to help her solve it – her four-legged canine companion, Daisy. But this mystery won’t be easy to solve, and Dr. Sue might be putting herself and Daisy in danger when she starts nosing around and talking to people from the party. When the wrong person is arrested, someone close to Sue, things heat up, and the race is on to find the murderer before it’s too late. Can Sue and Daisy pull this off?
Pooches and Pubs by Stacey Bonner is such a fun read and, unusually, it’s written from Daisy’s perspective. It has a quirky, eclectic cast of characters, each relevant to the story, and an action-packed plot full of mystery. It’s an entertaining read that keeps you fully engaged from start to finish, and it runs at a decent pace, not too fast or too slow. As a retired veterinarian, Dr. Bonner is perfectly placed to write a story like this, and she clearly knows how to hook her readers, especially the animal lovers among us. It flows well, keeping you reading all the way through, and it’s hard to put down once you start. This is the cozy murder mystery genre at its best, with plenty of suspense and lots of lovely, heartwarming scenes. If you love a good crime-solving caper, you’ll love this, and if you’re an animal lover too, well, that’s just a bonus.
