Holly Miller and her grandmother, Oma, are working their tails off to prepare the Sugar Maple Inn for an upcoming matchmaking event for pet owners. While Holly has no interest in pairing up, Oma plans on playing Cupid and finding someone to warm her reluctant granddaughter's heart. Unfortunately, one man Holly does meet is cold - dead cold - and he has a personal letter from Oma in his pocket. As suspicion is cast over the inn's guests, Holly - with the help of her furry friends, Trixie the Jack Russell and Twinkletoes the cat - must fetch the real killer, or she may soon have a date in court.

Thank You for the New Narrator

Krista Davis crafts interesting and clever books. The new narrator helps me to enjoy the stories more. I love getting to know the human and animal recurring characters.

Another winner

Krista Davis has written another great addition to the Paws & Claws series. I highly recommend this book to all cozy mysteries.

Enjoyable as usual but why change narrators?

Would you listen to Mission Impawsible again? Why?

I enjoyed this book and will probably listen to it again because I enjoy the series overall. I love Holly, Oma, Trixie, Twinkletoes and the rest.

What about Elise Arsenault’s performance did you like?

Ms. Arsenault's performance was completely acceptable and after I got my mind around the change in narrator (Jeanie Kanaley narrated books 1-3) I mostly enjoyed the book. I'm not a fan of switching narrators in the middle of an established series; I find it very jarring. When I preordered the book I hadn't realized there was a change but it was the first thing I noticed a few words into the book.

Can't wait for next book

loved the series so far i love the animals and the idea of wagtail is wonderful

Loved That It Was Perfect For Valentines Day Month

This was great to read during the month of February 2022 for Valentines Day month! The romance and mystery are funny with the pets! Especially if someone funny as Marvin trying to run a business to match people up based on their pets!

Mission Impawsable

Who knew that dogs and cats could be so helpful in romance and murder. Excellent storyline kept you captured in the story.

Narrator

How could the performance have been better?

I did not like this narrator nearly as well as the other books in the series. I would recommend you go back to the previous one. Did not like her attempt at different voices and her expression.

Any additional comments?

Book was good, but somewhat disappointed with the narration.

Great addition to a wonderful series

Any additional comments?

I love this series and this latest addition is amazing, I loved going back to Wagtail. I can say honestly that if a town like this existed in the real world - I would be there. Love the whole premise for this series - it's original and extremely well executed. The only problem is that it was over way too fast. I can't wait for the next installment.

Why does this series have such bad narrators?

This is a new narrator, which should be good. The narrator for books 1-3 sounds like she's reading to children. But this narrator is no better. This one has a bad ear for accents and makes everyone sound like a stereotype. We have the "Jersey Shore Girl," the "White Lady does 'Black Lady'" voice, and the "Vampire Oma" as examples.

If you can overlook this narrator, then get the book! The town is charming, the main character is good, the story is interesting and well-crafted.

Improved narration

I'm pleased with the change in narrator. I can acknowledge the previous narrator's talent for for foreign accents, while at the same time, her style and voice came across as old for a thirty- something protagonist, and I found that the amount of drama and emphasis packed into every sentence made for tiring listening. The new narrator is easier on the ear, and more believable as a millennial woman.
