Resumen del Editor

When an anonymous whistleblower from Peculiar, Missouri, alleges that the mayor’s wife is a fraud, the Shifter Tri-State Council sends one of their best investigators: werebobcat Wilhelmina “Willy” Boden. Willy’s reluctant to investigate her friends who live in the small shifter town, especially handsome werecoyote Brady Corman - but she has a job to do.

Yeah. A job that gets a helluva lot more difficult when the town’s local pain-in-the-ass Evelyn Meyers is found dead. Willie jumps onboard the investigation and soon discovers that both the town’s beloved sheriff and Brady’s teenaged son are prime suspects, along with half the town.

Willy’s sense of duty won’t let her ignore evidence or turn a blind eye to injustice. Her loyalty to her friends will be tested as she digs deeper into Evelyn’s death and a secret kept by most of the town. And her relationship with Brady may be over before it even begins.

What’s a werebobcat to do when her instincts tell her one thing, and her heart the exact opposite?

Peculiar Mysteries series from USA Today best-selling author Renee George are laugh-out-loud, grip-the-edge-of-your-seat, and swoon-as-you-fall-in-love tales of mystery, humor, and romance that take place in the small (fictional) Ozark shifter town of Peculiar, Missouri.

Good story

Good story with well done characters and a storyline that keeps you interested until the end.

Something peculiar is happening in Peculiar

Willie is sent to Peculiar on an investigation. Unfortunately she is sent to investigate a person she considers a friend. During her investigation someone commits murder. Now she is tasked with finding the murderer and unraveling a crime while hopefully not unraveling her friend’s life and destroying several other. Or losing the man she is possibly falling in love with.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator, Autumn Brandt, did a fabulous job and made listening a joy. I laughed at many places throughout the story and was pleasantly surprised that I hadn’t figured out the mystery right away.
I highly recommend!

Friend or Foe

Willy likes her job, usually. Willy loves her friends, always. Willy likes the Were-people of Peculiar, Mo. . When her likes conflict, she has to choose between heart and head.

She's sent to town to investigate the possibility of a human living illegally in an all Were town. Except there turns out to be a whole lot more when the grand-dam of town is murdered. The investigation turns up much more and some of her friends are in the bull's eye of a crime target. How is her serious attraction to Brady going to be affected? Why hasn't the sheriff done more? Where do her friends fit into this or is it THESE crimes?

I love the relationship between Willy and Brady. A little hesitant, a lot hot. Another good read from Ms. George. This is a cozy with steam. Yep, I always think her mysteries are going to be cozy, but trust me, there is nothing cozy about them. They is steam with a mystery in the world of magic and Weres. The clues are doled out. The perps are not easily figured out and often the least likely. Friendships are one of the best aspects of these stories. The loyal friends and real people--well Weres. Always a good read and this is no exception except it is in listen form.

Great listen

In the Midnight Howl is an adorable laugh out loud paranormal cozy. If you haven’t read or listened to Thank You For Not Shifting (Peculiar Mysteries #2) you might want to in order to fully enjoy this as this book deals with characters we met in that book. I love Willy! She is my kind of gal. No girly girl she doesn’t know how to deal with her burgeoning feelings for Brady. She does know how to investigate a murder and she does just that in this delightful tale. Highly recommend.
