Master of Puppies

Spellbound Hound Magic and Mystery Book 4

By: Jeannie Wycherley

Narrated by: David Winter

Yip! Yip! Yoo-ray! Toby’s back for a new adventure!

It’s not everyday that a dog launches his own criminal investigation. But Toby’s not an everyday kind of dog.

When he’s alerted to a local case of puppynapping, Toby tries to get his humans to take action. Unfortunately, the local police aren’t overly concerned about one missing pooch, and Clarissa, Toby’s witch owner, is rather preoccupied with her new job and an ex-boyfriend.

When one missing puppy becomes two … and then three and four … Toby recognises the need for urgent action.

What could a crotchety old wizard possibly want with so many puppies? Nothing good, that’s for certain.

Fortunately Toby, who can turn a paw to most things, has a trick or two up his hairy sleeves. With the help of a few friends—old and new—he hares off on a new escapade without properly considering the consequences.

Can Toby rescue the puppies? Or will he and his friends find themselves in deep doggy doo-doo?

Par for the course when you’re a spellbound hound!

Dogs are in charge

I love Toby. The first three books in this series are interconnected. This one is a new standalone story in this series. This book also has a new narrator, David Winter. David does a great job of narrating this book and giving Toby his voice.

I love Toby being the main character in this book. Not that I don't love Carissa as well but to see Toby on his own was entertaining. He was able to use his detective skills more as well as his new "special" abilities as well.

All of the other dogs are fun. They make a fun group as they band together to solve the mystery of the missing puppies. Such a fun story. The dogs are in charge.

Toby and his crew are on the case!

This book (Spellbound Hound book 4) features Toby and some of the neighborhood dogs (and even a few cats). They are investigating around town into the disappearance of several puppies, while simultaneously trying to avoid the dog warden. The narration is outstanding!

very entertaining story

Audiobook review: 3.0 for narration. I had to listen to him at 1.75 speed as he spoke way to slow from his first sentence. Plus I wasn't a fan of some of his voices. Clarissa is a young lady and he made her sound old.

Story review: 4.5 for story. I loved Toby and his dog mates. This mystery of the missing puppies was very original. I didn't expect the reason and outcome so enjoyed that twist. I didn't rate as a 5 as I didn't like the decisions Clarissa was making involving her ex. I thought it strayed to far away from her previous character descriptions.

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

enjoyed

Toby is investigating without Clarissa in this book. He and a few friends along the way are looking into missing puppies.

Another Toby-filled hit!

My heart broke (written in the POV of dogs who’ve experienced homelessness and shelter stays, etc.), it was healed, I laughed, I virtually went on adventures, and I escaped into a sweet, magical small town … this book (and all of the series thus far) packs it all.

Clearly written by a dog-lover, so far all of the books in this series manage to post tug at my heartstrings, intrigue me, make me laugh, and so much more. Before I know it, I’ve finished another.

Absolutely devouring this series.

4.5 stars.


🎧 Audio:
Very good audio production, professional, flawless sound quality. I was in love with the narrator for books 1-3, so this one did take some getting used to. He was excellent, just … different. 4 stars.
