Corgi Case Files #14
Case of the Missing Marine
Sherlock and Watson have been cordially invited to Buckingham Palace, for a meeting with the Queen of England herself. Recognizing how inappropriate it would be to decline such an offer, Zack, Jillian, and the dogs head across the Atlantic to visit the United Kingdom. After Her Majesty has thanked them for their role in the recovery of several priceless artifacts, Jillian is shocked to learn her US Marine brother has been working with MI6, and is currently missing. Imploring Zack and the dogs to look into Joshua's disappearance, Zack soon discovers that Jillian's brother was working on a top secret project, and just about every foreign government wants to get their hands on him.
Can Zack and the dogs figure out what Joshua has been working on? Will they be able to find him before someone else does? Will Zack be able to wrap this up in time so that he doesn't miss his own wedding?
Readers are loving these indomitable dog sleuths. Meet Zack and the corgis, Sherlock and Watson, in this delightfully humorous series that pulls you right in.

Best book in the series... so far!
I love that Watson and Sherlock are meeting with Her Magesty, while Clydesdaling Zack and Jillian along for the ride, learning more about Jillian's mysterious brother, and the surprising conclusion of the book! Which I refuse to spoil.
What I will say is that I stumbled upon Mr. Poole's "Corgi Case Files" by happy accident; and if I'm remembering correctly, I devoured them all in approximately a bit less than half a month.
In conclusion, you should give this series a try if you're a lover of mysteries, smart, quirky, and spunky dogs, and enjoy a slight taste of what it might be like across the pond or even in parts of the Midwest.

Zack, Jillian and the corgis receive a very special invitation to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen! Those who follow the series, know that it's because the corgis helped locate a missing treasure and Her Majesty is most grateful. But then......another mystery unfolds, and it involves Jillian's missing brother, who has sent some enigmatic messages. Well, I won't spoil it with more details. Just read it!

I did love this book, especially as I love in the UK, a little far fetched but good all the same.
Sherlock and Watson have been invited to UK to meet the Queen, in thanks for solving the jewel mystery a few books back, so of course Zack and Jillian accompany them. Before they leave the US, Jillian learns her brother, a Marine but seconded to UK intelligence, is missing.
When they reach the UK, they soon realise that they have help from the highest source! They also result on Sherlock and Watson to find Jillians brother, can they do it?
Good fun but a little far fetched. I cannot wait for the next book to be released.

This series is just plain fun. The corgis are adorable and, as always, way ahead of the humans. They could charm, well, the Queen. I won't detail the plot other than to say it moves along at a rapid pace with few down moments. The corgi duo of Sherlock and Watson had it under control, even if it did take the humans awhile to figure out what the clues the dogs kept dropping in their laps meant. The quick tour of Jolly Ol' England was nice, too, as I've never been. A fun, quick read that will make you smile and wish you had a corgi. Four paws and a tail way from my corgi mix.

Zack, Jillian, Sherlock and Watson find themselves spirited off to London to visit the Queen and try to find Jillian's missing brother who is working with MI-6 to locate missing artifacts. Lots of surprises, and not all of them desirable, but all are extremely interesting!
How can you NOT love the books in this series?! Especially when they are interpreted by popular voice artist Bob Johnson?
The stories do NOT have to be read in any kind of order as the author catches you up on the salient points with each book.

I love this series! Sherlock and Watson are invited by the Queen of England for a visit and meet up. How fun is this storyline! Jullian and Zack have been waiting to get married because Jullian wants her brother at her wedding. Well, it seems he has gone missing and they need to look into where he could be. Well, Sherlock and Watson need to look into it. This is a very fun book and I loved the ending. Once again the narrator is the amazing Bob Johnson. He brings a wonderful extra bit of zing to this series. Can't wait to see where book 15 will take us.

Adventures in the UK
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was great to visit with Sherlock and Watson again. They've been invited to meet the queen of England so they're off with Jiliann and Zack to the UK. They are also trying to track down Jillian's brother Joshua. The corgis of course provide the clues to solve this mystery. And spoiler alert Zack and Jillian finally tie the knot. Great read anxious for the next one!

A delightful addition to the corgi cozy series!
Such a treat to catch up with some familiar faces as Zach and Jillian jaunt to London to solve the mysterious disappearance of her MI6 brother. And it wouldn’t be a true novel without the daring duo of doggies- Sherlock and Watson- in tow to solve the mystery.
Chock full of new characters- including a cameo from the Queen Mum- and a series of hijinks, this adventure will not disappoint. Poole, once again, charms us with his writing prowess.

The Royal Treatment
I absolutely loved this book. I think it's my favorite of the entire series. There's sight seeing in London. There's intrigue, baffling clues and a determined couple of corgis tracking down Jillian's missing brother. And then there's the hilarious audience with the queen. T he ending is stunning. It's going to be tough to top this one, Mr. Poole!

Best book so far
I thought the Case of the Chatty Roadrunner was my favorite ,but The Case of the missing Marine is now my favorite. I love the the Queen was involved and Watson farting was hilarious ,every dog owner can relate to a similar event. I can't wait to read what else the two Royal Canines will be up to. And Congratulations to Zac and Julian many happy years!

Loved the story of Jillian's missing brother. Fascinating with all the twists and turns. Winston and Watson do it again. The Queen was a nice touch to the story.

The corgies save the day while visiting the Queen on a trip to England in this funny cozy mystery. Another great story with a mystery that will keep you guessing.
Well worth the read.

“Royal Wedding”
I have been thoroughly enjoying the Corgi Case Files series. My first thought when I finished reading the “Case of the Missing Marine” was ‘It’s about time Zachary!’
