Summary
When Yaz and her dog Hercules find a dead man on a bench along the canal with chicken bones lying around him, she immediately calls Louise – and the police.
The case is odd: a chicken bone has been forcibly rammed down the victim’s throat, and the last person to see him was their friend – and Pack-mate – Claire. When the police take Claire into custody, the Pack mobilise, determined to find the real killer.
The trail leads them to the new Cluckin’ Good Chicken shop, who not only have a gang that loiter outside, smoking weed and harassing passers-by, but have also managed to create issues with the locals. As the Pack's investigation into the chicken shop progresses, establishing links with organised crime that might possibly connect to the local council, Louise and her friends find themselves in mortal danger.
Can the Pack sniff out the killer and get to the bones of the mystery?
Praise for The Dog Park Detectives:
‘More good dogs than I've ever seen in a single book! Oh, and a grisly, puzzling murder to solve, with lots of twists and red herrings. But really, I'm here for the pooches, and you should be too’ Antony Johnston
'Howling good fun, with a plot twisty enough to get any dogged armchair detective barking up the wrong tree. I loved it – just don't tell my cats!' Fiona Leitch
‘Adored The Dog Park Detectives! Brilliantly written, with quirky characters, dogs and a dash of murder, I ripped through this in two sittings. Perfect cosy crime’ Lisa Hall
‘A pacy and entertaining murder mystery that’s a must-read for all dog-loving crime fans. Go the Dog Park Detectives!’ A. K. Turner

This time there is a suspicious death at the canal that even leads to one of the Pack being hauled to the police station for questioning (just pawful). This sequel - after the Phil Creasy murder - definitely delivers.
It works well because it is again quick-paced, clever and easy to imagine. It brings together international, colourful relatable and witty characters in East London that are concerned about the neighbourhood in which they and their beloved dogs live. It is getting worse and worse and so Louise and the Pack are compelled to act, at their own peril.
The voice actors mastered different accents to make them and this local dog walking detective story come to life. Of course the cast of dogs with each their unique personalities returns to bring their own brand of fun and chaos to the mix. It is so easy to fall in love (again) with these humans & dogs combos. You can also enjoy fun filled action scenes with Louise, Hammie & Klaus and use of dog props in apprehending suspects.
Walk with pack as they solve the Jonny Tang case including chicken bones, yobs, a fedora and fire. Bone of Contention is certainly worth sniffing out!
Pawsome Pack crime solving continues!
