The Maltese Felon

De: Renee Pawlish

Narrado por: Johnny Peppers

Reed's back with a dose of humor and film noir that will keep you turning pages. When an attractive female client begs Reed Ferguson to find her prize-winning Maltese show dog stolen from her back yard, Reed suspects he may be channeling Ace Ventura: Pet Detective rather than his hero, Humphrey Bogart. It sounds like a simple case, but things take a dangerous turn and Reed discovers that man's-best-friend can attract some decidedly unfriendly characters!

The Maltese Felon

Would you consider the audio edition of The Maltese Felon to be better than the print version?

That's hard for me to say, because I am an immersion reader.

What other book might you compare The Maltese Felon to and why?

I don't know of any right now.

Which character – as performed by Johnny Peppers – was your favorite?

Reed, always Reed! An excellent choice for this character!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, but being an animal lover the whole "puppy mill" thing was disturbing. We just had one shut down around here. Thank ***

Any additional comments?

Would have liked to have seen more references to the film noir era. Building up her characters nicely. Please write a story using the film "DARK PASSAGE!!!"

Good Noir

Reed newest case is one attraction woman whose Maltese was taken from the backyard. There was more then just kidnapping the dog, Reed soon finds out. His love for Bogart comes thru, giving us some comedy as well as a good noir mystery. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Show Dogs and Puppy Mills

This is the third book in the Reed Ferguson series. In this installment, Reed is back with a pawsitively confounding mystery. He is asked to locate a stolen Maltese show dog. His investigation leads him into the world of dog shows and puppy mills. With his usual propensity for falling into trouble, Reed brings his usual humor to the case. Ace, Deuce and Cal help out and romance takes a step forward. An unexpected twist at the end brings about a surprise ending.

I am really enjoying this series. The film noir feel, Johnny Pepper’s excellent narration and sharp writing make this a pleasure to listen to. I love the off beat cases that Reed falls into and his troupe of quirky friends offer a nice dose of humor.

I recommend this series to any mystery lover.

REED FERGUSON

This is a good mystery book. It's easy to listen to . There is a good storyline but still easy to follow. A lady's dog has been stolen and she hires Reed to find her dog. Then more dogs go missing. Reed is turning into a good detective.There is some funny things said. Reed is pretty smart and funny. I don't like a lot of funny things in a book. There's just the right amount in this one I thought. I thought Johnny Peppers did a good job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.
