By: Jeffrey Poole

Publisher's Summary

A string of dog thefts has struck Pomme Valley, a small, quiet town in southwestern Oregon. Chocolate Labradors, cocker spaniels, and even a German shepherd have all fallen victim to the notorious dognapper. With no rhyme or reason to the thefts, the people of PV are determined to take whatever means necessary to protect their beloved pets. Enter one winery owner/romance author and his two famous corgis. 

Zachary Anderson, along with Sherlock and Watson, have been asked to look into the case as official police consultants. The question on everyone's mind is, would everyone's favorite canine duo be able to sniff out the culprit and bring him/her to justice? 

Join Zack and the dogs as they search for the missing canine companions and try to prevent panic from spreading in Pomme Valley!

Sherlock and Watson Do it Again

When a friend's German Shepard disappears during a walk in the bark, Sherlock, Watson and their hapless romance writing owner swing into action to help solve the case in this adorable cozy mystery.
As the case unfolds it becomes clear that there are several missing dogs involved and the trio plus the shepard's owner who happens to also be a police officer begin to piece together the clues that lead to a very unlikely group of dognappers.
I loved this funny take on a very serious subject. The Corgies are, as always, the heroes of the story and the author's portrayal of the pair, and dogs in general, shows a genuine love of the world's canine contingent.
Funny and heart warming- this is a book I would gladly read again.

Loved it.

Wow!!!!What a great book. I just love Sherlock and Watson. This time Zack and puppies helped to find who was stealing dogs. I enjoy this series. This is my second book i have read in this series and both are fantastic. I will definitely continue with this series. The narrator Bob Johnson does a fabulous job. I was gifted this book at my request in exchange for an honest review.

Fun times again

They are at it again and just as adorable as before and they are a treat. Zach Anderson is not half bad either and you enjoy the tale and the antics of everybody involved. So when you get a chance pick up a copy and enjoy the story and the narration, which will have you laughing at some point.

"I was provided this audio book at no charge by the narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

An Entertaining Series!

What’s not to enjoy about a lovely mystery featuring dogs. In this case, kidnapped dogs come to the attention of two infamous crime solving corgis. With some assistance from their human naturally.

It’s my first audiobook by Mr. Poole, but it won’t be the last. Exciting to learn there are already several others in the series. Well written, with humor and mystery, the author will be one I’ll follow.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. So glad it was available in audio as well. Narrator Bob Johnson handles the voices and intonations very well. It was a pleasure to listen to.

Dogs and Deeres and Detectives!

Can't be an unbiased review because it has dogs, cops, and a John Deere tractor!
Someone is stealing purebred pet dogs in Pomme Valley including a child's service dog! What's even worse, the same thing happened in nearby Medford a few years ago. Zach might not be a detective, but his good friend Vance is as are Zach's pet Corgis, Sherlock and Watson. Zach tells the story of the investigation and how he came to buy an additional thirty five acres of land and a great big specialized John Deere. A good investigation with lots of red herrings and a twist or three.
The audio is performed by narrator Bob Johnson with the pleasant voice and easy interpretation of the interesting characters.
I won this audiobook in a giveaway, and did I ever win!

Entertaining, funny and well-narrated

I've enjoyed all the Corgi Files thus far, but this latest audio offering is a favorite. Sherlock and Watson must nose out (pun intended) a dastardly dognapping ring in their Oregon community, but it's Zack Anderson, unintended owner of a local award-winning winery, who puts the pieces together to expose the perps. I love Zack's offbeat humor and the scene where he's forced by Sherlock and a local pet store owner to purchase a 'pizzle' - look it up! - is hilarious.

The story ends with a reference to Zack's late wife's death and now I'm anxious for book six to be released in audio format. No fair making us wait, Jeffrey and Bob!

I received a free copy of this title from Audiobook Boom and am leaving a voluntary and honest review.

I love Sherlock & Watson!

Sherlock and Watson are such a joy! I love this series? Because the characters blend Comedy with mystery & an immersive story. When I started this book I listened to the whole thing in 2 sittings because I couldn’t put it down!
This doesn’t have any murder, so for those who like a more “clean” mystery, this is your book!

Light and Fun

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily leaving this review and all opinions expressed herein are mine.

This is the fourth book in the Corgi Case Files. It is a standalone story and you do not need to have read any of the prior books in the series to enjoy this one. However, this book, while light and fun, is not the strongest of the four but still worth enjoying as part of the series. I would recommend starting with the first book to get the real flavor of the characters.

Here, Zach with his two corgis, Sherlock and Watson, learn of a dog napping ring. The problem is that the thieves steal different breeds of dogs and it seems very random. When the Police Chief's grandaughter has her dog stolen, the pressure increases to find the dognappers.

I am a sucker for cozies, especially cozies with animals. This is a great series - lots of good humor and a great MC in Zach. The weakness in this story was the reasoning behind the dognapping seemed flimsy. There's still plenty of laughs with the antics of Sherlock and Watson and intrigue involving Zach and his deceased wife.

The narrator, Bob Johnson, is very good, has great pacing and comic delivery.
