This book is the eighth in the Cozy Corgi series and some questions that have been lingering through the series are finally answered. I’m not going to provide any spoilers, though, so you’ll just have to listen for yourself.
Halloween is one of my least favorite times of year, but I might actually enjoy it were I in Estes Park, Colorado. Especially seeing all the pets dressed up in their costumes. Watson is such a good sport, though a grumpy corgi through and through.
Poaching has been an issue in the town since long before Fred arrived. In fact her bookstore is located in a former taxidermy shop. Ick. Her good buddy Leo is a park ranger and when his new colleague Nadia is accused of murdering a poacher, Leo asks Fred to help. At first it looks like the cops have the right suspects but, as with most murders in Estes Park, all is not as it seems.
As always, Fred comes into conflict with the police only it seems the stakes are much higher this time as we’re introduced to Chief Briggs who really seems to have it out for Fred. More chaos ensues and as Fred gets closer to the truth, her life is in jeopardy. Nail biting stuff. The resolution of this book was not what I was expecting and part of me was sad to see the turn of events but I suspect we haven’t heard the last of certain characters.
I enjoy the narration of Angie Hickman in this series. She has the perfect voice for each character and gives a great performance every time. I can’t wait to listen to the next installment to see what trouble Fred gets up to now.
