Why read it?

2 authors picked Pork Pie Pandemonium as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It’s laugh-out-loud funny, and despite the fact that he flunked out as a police dog, Rex is a great detective who usually knows more than his human counterparts.

Higgs has also done a great job of combining culinary details throughout the series. In this one, you’ll learn all about pork pies. But even vegetarians will love these books.

From Neil's list on crime-solving dogs.

It’s not so common to have a male sleuth take the lead in cozy mysteries. And an older male sleuth with a retired (failed) police dog who has a few things to say during the investigation is a delight.

For me, Rex the dog is the star! I love a feisty, smart sidekick who comes with fur and an attitude.

This book is light-hearted, funny, with interesting twists along the way.

From K.E.'s list on involving muffins and murder.
