Corgi Case Files #7
Case of the Highland House Haunting
When Jillian Cooper purchased one of Pomme Valley's historic properties, Highland House, little did she know a violent murder happened there over 70 years ago.
Tasking Zack and the dogs with disproving the rumors Dame Highland's ghost walked the halls, guarding her long hidden treasure, Jillian moves forward with her plans to turn the historic house into a bed and breakfast. However, when an "accident" claims the life of a contractor, it becomes apparent that someone doesn't want people snooping around the house.
Can Sherlock and Watson, along with their pack of humans, prove the ghost is a fake? Will the corgi crime fighters put a stop to the shenanigans before another tragedy can happen?

Sherlock strikes again!
This one started out a little different, with a haunted house! I was wondering if the author was going to stay to true crime, or go a bit paranormal. He stayed true crime.
It was very interesting because it revolves around a crime that happened many years ago. And it goes full on Scooby-Doo with a house and secret compartments! It was a lot of fun.
I do have two small gripes with the book though.
1. When they found some old, prized possessions of the woman who had owned the house, they never circled back around to the woman's niece they talked to earlier. I think that would have been nice and good closure for the old woman.
2. They never found out what happened with the two robbers from the past who were MIA for a week, then found.
Hey, though other than that, two unanswered questioned I wanted answered, this book was fantastic. The voice is superb, the audio narration is brilliant, and I'm looking forward to many more books in this series!

When strange things begin happening at the "haunted" house Jillian purchases to turn into a bed and breakfast, Zack and the corgies are called upon to sort out a prohibition era mystery in this adorable cozy mystery.
The plot is complex and well written, the mystery is unveiled in pieces with the last one not revealed until the last few pages of the book and the characters, including the villains and the aging relative with more spunk than anybody her age ought to have, are full blown and lovable in their eccentricities, but it's the corgies, Sherlock and Watson, as usual, who steal the show.
Bob Johnson who, I believe, has narrated all of the books in this series, has a voice that is easy to listen to . He brings the characters to life in a way few people could and is, for me, the voice I'd hear when Zack was speaking if I were reading the book.
This is another lively, amusing and thoroughly engaging story by a writer who clearly knows and loves his subjects.

If you've never met these two fun and furry crime solvers (Mr Sherlock and Ms Watson) and their widowed humans, you're missing a lot of fun! Zack's girlfriend Jillian has bought a massive historic house and is having it renovated into a B&B. The house has a lot of interesting history and is said to be haunted as well as having a fortune in jewels hidden away in it. All of the characters certainly are, and the sleuthing is well done with lots of bootleggers nooks and hidey holes as well as good natured rivalry among friends. Loved it! Easily a stand alone, but why?.
Bob Johnson aces the narration with just the right touch that highlights the humor by downplaying the guffaws.
I won this audio in a giveaway.

Book 7 in this series and just as wonderful as the first 6. Zack and Jillian are fun to read about but the real pull for me is the 2 corgis. Sherlock and Waston! This book has Jillian showing Zack the haunted house she has purchased to renovate. Along the way, Sherlock and Watson help their humans find out so much about this lovely old house and the women who once lived there. I really enjoyed all the twists and turns this book takes. I also love this series enough that the new puppy I just got I named Sherlock. The narrator for this book and the whole series is wonderful too really giving life to the audiobook. I can't think of a better narrator for this series than Bob Johnson, he is simply perfect.

Another mystery for Sherlock and Watson, and their owner Zack to solve for Zacks girlfriend, Jillian.
After a near miss and a death at the house Jillian is renovating, history shows that there could be valuable items hidden within the house, but who is trying to find them?
A very entertaining read which I couldn't put down. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Sparkling detection.
Another fascinating story of detection by corgi. What cold be more exciting than searching a haunted house for hidden treasure. Sherlock and Watson do an outstanding job while their ever doubtful owner follows along behind.

Corgis rule!
Another good mystery which the inimitable corgis are able to solve for Zach and Jillian. The dogs are as much or more the main characters in this series.

Mr. Poole has done it again with exciting and funny story. Zach and the dogs are absolutely the best. The interaction between them is entertaining. Loved the book!

Finished story in one day. Held your interest from start to finish. Loved the story of Sherlock & Watson. Mr. Poole has a wonderful way of writing his stories.

I have an image of each of the main characters in my mind. Every book I read, it's like getting together with old friends. Wish the series would never end.
