This book was a delight to read. Instead of Dr. Watson telling of Holmes' cases, we have Snuffles, a Springer Spaniel sharing a dozen of Inspector Richard Thompson's. While not a bumbling oaf, his Inspector is no Sherlock Holmes. Snuffles helps the Inspector solve his cases in some less than conventional ways. Snuffles shares his stories with Isobel Fraser, a young American heiress in exile because her parents don't approved of the young man she wishes to marry.
Murders, poisonings, and theft are all part and parcel of a police Inspector's life. With a partner likes Snuffles, how can he go wrong? Seeing the clues and evidence from a different perspective puts Snuffles in a position to give his Inspector a decided advantage in solving what ever crime comes his way.
A delightful bit of storytelling that had me smiling. In spite of this being a series of crime solving stories, the author had a unique enough approach that I enjoyed the book. This book was both well written and well edited. I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.
