I think this is my favourite book in the series so far and not just because they are investigating a murder this time around. Okay it wasn't a murder investigation as such with lots of suspects, as that wouldn't have worked with a dog as your lead investigator. Instead the story unfolds as Toby follows up on clues and questions some very unusual witnesses. The whole plot idea just grabbed imagination. It was so easy to picture the trouble (and mess) that he found himself caught up in, which lead to a few chuckles. The case was nicely wrapped up with smiles and chuckles all around. I loved the characters, especially the new rat friends. Yes I Know it probably sounds weird reading this review but it works and is an entertaining listen for any mystery and animal lover.

Toby needs a bath and his owner takes him to a grooming salon, where he is introduced to a show dog. After the meeting Toby is determined to prove he is just as good as the uppity poodle and talks Clarissa into entering him a family friendly event. It's only after the event that trouble strikes, they discover a dead body in the salon. The owners sister has been killed and her poodle stolen. Toby find himself offering not only a bed to the poodle while the police investigate the murder but also his services to find the missing poodle. With no clues to follow the two dogs find themselves looking for witnesses and discover the shops rat population. Will the rat 'Family' provide Toby and his new friend a clue to the dog nappers? And maybe they can find the killer and solve the murder at the same time.

I like the narrator. He makes the story so entertaining and I just love the voices he provides, although I could have done with out the dog singing but to be fair I think it was meant to be bad.
