funny slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Love the cat and dog and their adventures to try to help solve the mysteries. But the characters are mostly shallow without many redeeming characteristics. Certainly not a wholesome book.

First in series
Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
Why I added this book to my TBR pile: I heard about this series years and years ago and I read Brown's pivotal work Rubyfruit Jungle, so when this kept popping up in suggestions, I went with it.
Will I read more of the series? Probably Not   Maybe   Likely   Most Likely  Definitely There are several installments in the series, so I'll listen to a few more and decide if I want to commit.
The narrator was Kate Forbes. She did not overdo it with the southern accent, which I appreciated.
