Up On The Woof Top (#1,194) by Spencer Quinn is, I promise, the wagging tail end of my holiday reading! Two of my favorite mystery characters, Chet and Bernie, are on the case of a missing reindeer named Rudy.
It all begins when Chet is approached by a famous writer's personal assistant Chaz - but of course, Bernie has to do the talking since Chet the Jet is a dog. It seems Dame Ariadne Carlisle, author of multiple best-selling mysteries, all with a Christmas theme, has lost her favorite reindeer and her writing mojo. Can the Little Detective Agency help? It means a trip to Kringle Ranch in Colorado where the tree tops glisten and it's always Christmas. When Chaz is found unconscious in a deep canyon, the Ghost of Christmas Past in the form of an unsolved cold case murder keeps Chet and Bernie on the case.
Meanwhile, Bernie's circumstances (and of course, Chet's!) are about to take a turn for the better, provided they survive their trip to the mountains at Christmas.
Always so much fun to read these books from Chet's unique perspective!
