I did enjoy reading this book and revisiting the bonkers town of Lamonic Bibber with its equally weird and funny characters. I would say it’s not as good or humours as the first (only other one I’ve read) but still a fun quick read. In this story, the town is being wrecked every night when a fog comes and there are sightings of ‘The Hound’. As the only ‘possible’ perpetrator, Jake the dog is blamed and the residents pursue a hate campaign to remove him. Knowing his innocence, Polly and Friday do some investigating to get to the truth. Who’s really behind it? Jake? A visitor? What about the usual villain Mr Gum and Billy the butcher? Wait and see
Overall an enjoyable read, easy to get through with a bonkers fun cast of characters and plot - would recommend.
