Review – Critters and Crimes by Elizabeth Pantley

StoreyBook Reviews 

Synopsis

A quaint riverside town holds many secrets … and the only ones who’ve seen it all are the critters.
This book club dives (literally!) into the pages of a cozy mystery. The quirky group must solve the mystery to get out of the book. It’s so much fun – you’ll wish you had a book club like this!

In this journey, they choose a book set in a lovely riverside town. They land in a charming neighborhood and find they are part of a local book club. They are having a great time – and then a dead body shows up. (Of course it does!)

The clues to what happened come to them in a unique way – via the critters in the house.

As usual, the club finds plenty of time to enjoy the unique setting of their journey, as they solve the mystery – one critter at a time.

Review

This series has become a favorite, from the characters to the mystery to be solved. Each book is unique because the characters jump into a book to solve the mystery.

It is hard for me to believe that this is the eleventh book. I have enjoyed watching the characters evolve while retaining their quirky personas. It is clear that all the characters are aware of their counterparts’ weaknesses and help them overcome them to move the story forward.

This mystery had some interesting twists. I won’t give away anything because it would spoil the natural progression of the story and give you a hint of what might come. I will say that it was fun that the book club could hear the animals, but no one in the town could. And it was more than your normal cats and dogs; it included parakeets, mice, a turtle, rabbits, a guinea pig, and even a worm. Each of these animals provided a clue that helped the book club solve the murder.

I heartily enjoy this series and give it 5 paws up.
