Spellbound Hound Cozy Mystery

A fun paranormal cozy with Toby the Spellbound Hound solving the case of the missing poodle. Not just any poodle. A show poodle that is worth quite a bit of money. He pairs up with the poodle's sister, a sassy canine. He also befriends an unlikely ally making this an enjoyable listen over the holiday season.

Mayhem!

Toby has turned into quite the detective. He has gained a good success rate. With each case, he encounters a new cast of quirky characters. There is Pickle and the Rat Mafia comprised of Sal and Pom, and others. I am all for Detective Ed joining the group.

David Winter is an amazing narrator. He has been a constant voice for this series. He has a huge cast of characters to voice, but he is up to the task. I have grown to love David's voice. In fact, if there was to ever be a change, I would probably riot as there cannot be anyone else but David Winter voicing these audiobooks.

As with the other books, there are plenty of laughs to be had with this book. Toby is elite in my eyes along with his hooman, Clarissa.

very entertaining

Audiobook review: The narration is good, easy to understand with lots of different voices for the numerous characters.

Story review:
This is such a fun mystery series staring loveable Toby, the spellbound hound. His character is written very well, original, not too much magic, and true to his word when it comes to helping solve mysteries. I am amused with all of Toby's friends. The author keeps introducing new ones in each book keeping the series fresh. The subplot with his human Clarissa and her romantic adventures are also enjoyable. I am rooting for her and Ed. I recommend this lighthearted humorous paranormal mystery book and the whole series.

I received a free audible copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Another Enchanting Case for Toby

"Born to be Styled" is a fantastic addition to the Spellbound Hound Magic and Mystery series. Jeannie Wycherley has a gift for weaving together suspense, humor, and heartwarming moments, and this story is no exception. The plot involving dognapped show dogs and a murder is intriguing without ever feeling too dark, making it a perfect cozy mystery with a magical twist.

Toby is an absolute delight as the lead investigator. His courage and resourcefulness shine through, and his interactions with new friends add depth and charm to the narrative. The balance between mystery and magic is spot-on, creating a world that feels vibrant and inviting.

David Winter’s narration elevates the entire experience. His expressive delivery and ability to capture Toby’s personality make this audiobook a joy to listen to. Each character is distinct, and the pacing keeps you engaged from start to finish.

If you love cozy mysteries with a sprinkle of magic and a lovable canine hero, this audiobook will not disappoint. It’s clever, entertaining, and leaves you eagerly anticipating the next adventure.
