Octavius Bear #3
The Case of Scotch
Imagine if Sherlock Holmes was a bear. Book three in the Octavius Bear series starts at Bearmoral Castle in the Shetland Islands, home of the exquisite and very rich Bearoness Belinda Béarnaise Bruin Bear (nee Black). She and Octavius married in Book Two but are keeping up separate residences in Scotland and Cincinnati. What starts out as a routine visit by Octavius and his crime fighting team, Maury, Otto, L.Condor, the Frau and Colonel, swiftly turns into startling tales of seemingly impossible sabotage against Scottish oil rigs in the North Sea and murder at the castle. Chita reappears as the owner of an oil rig bequeathed to her by a petroleum wildcat, now-deceased.

I received a copy of this book for free through GoodReads FirstReads competitions.
This is the third book in the Octavius Bear series, which in my opinion is a one of a kind series, I have not read a book quite like this one before. The novel is very well written and the characters that feature all add something special and unique too the storyline. It is jam packed with action and humour, with a few puns to keep you smiling while you are reading it.
The author writes the story in a tongue in cheek kind of way which is what gives this series its unique feeling, each of the characters adds more depth too the novel and keeps hold of the readers attention. This is a really great book to read if you enjoy complex mystery novels. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series from this talented author.
