I read a lot of mysteries, and as I've noted on this blog before The Barking Detective mystery series is truly one of my favorites. I recently finished "The Chihuahua Always Sniffs Twice" by Waverly Curtis and it's another 5 out of 5 star, fun novel. It features Geri Sullivan, a private investigator and her Chihuahua named Pepe. The thing is that Pepe can talk in English, but only Geri hears him. He also helps her solve every case. It's like Scooby Doo! This novel was just as great as the other 4 in the series (I have already read the 5th). It's fun, light-hearted and a page turner. It's about a family of step-kids who are angry that their step mother left her fortune to 5 cocker spaniels. ... and they all want to prove she's insane (after she died).
The last Pepe novel (www.pepnovels.com) came out in 2015 and I can't wait for another one. I love Pepe and Geri. I really hope the authors are writing a 6th book! - Rob

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Aspiring P.I. Geri Sullivan's new case has got her talking Chihuahua, Pepe, hot under the collar. Wealthy widow Lucille Carpenter left her entire fortune to her beloved dogs, and someone is trying to poison them. Anyone who would hurt a perro is lower than a cucaracha in Pepe's book. But when Geri and Pepe investigate, they discover that it's not just the coddled canines who are in danger. Now there are human targets too.
At the lavish Carpenter manor, Pepe digs for clues among the pampered pooches, bitter relatives, suspicious staff, and larcenous lawyers. But there's only one diminutive detective smart enough to save the day--and the dogs.
