About this listen

An elderly spinster murdered. Thirty dogs in the house. Shelter overwhelmed. Help!

When Maggie Ryan, a retired schoolteacher, is murdered, and over thirty dogs are discovered living in her home, the Cedar Bay Animal Shelter is stretched beyond its meager resources.

Join Kelly, the owner of Kelly's Koffee Shop, and her husband Sheriff Mike, along with a bulldog puppy named Max, and Sanyu, an Akita guard dog, as they literally have to sniff out the murderer before they become the next victims.

This is the 11th book in the popular Cedar Bay Cozy Mystery Series by a two-time USA Today best-selling author.

Doggies, Doggies, Everywhere!

Who doesn't love a good murder mystery and TONS of dogs? I do!
I thought this was a delightful story, lots of interesting characters and I loved it from beginning to end.

Cute story about the owner of a dog kennel who is murdered, and all the dogs are loose! The owners of two of the dogs at the kennel at the time, Mike and Kelly, are on a quest to find their beloved dogs and find out who could have possibly murdered this lady? A lot of suspects, but you'll need to listen to find out what happens!

Great taily tale, very much enjoyed it :)

If you love animals-you'll love this one!!

This is one of my favorite of the books in this series! I love when there are animals and this one has lots of them---and one of them becomes a hero!! When an old retired school teacher is found murdered in her home it takes a lot of ingenuity to finally figure out who did it. Of course Kelly was told by her husband Mike NOT to get involved-let him solve it! Uh Huh---Well if it wasn't for a certain dog-Kelly and Mike might have both been killed--but all's well that ends well-for the people and all the dogs!! I original read this as an e-book--this narrator did a great job with this book!!

Such a great series!!

I love the Cedar Bay Cozy Mystery Series by Dianne Harman! Trouble at the Animal Shelter was again narrated by Erin deWard, and she did a fabulous job! The only problem is that I've listened to all of the available audiobooks by Dianne Harman on Audible. What's a girl supposed to do now?!? I tried to stretch this one out so it would last longer, but I loved it so much that I'm afraid my plan didn't work too well. :-( I highly recommend this audiobook to lovers of cozy mysteries, as well as to dog lovers everywhere! Lucky for me, I am both.

Each book in the series is a stand alone, full mystery, so in reality, you could read/listen to just this book and enjoy it....BUT, in my opinion, you should start at the beginning. Starting with Book 1 will make your listening experience that much more enjoyable. Each series by Dianne Harman is so well-written. While I love all of them, The Cedar Bay Cozy Mystery Series is my absolute favorite. I feel like I know the characters, including the dogs, so well....it is because of them (and the gorgeous setting) that I keep coming back for more! With each new release, I cannot wait to hear about the new case to be solved! I love how Kelly - and the dogs - always make sure to put their "two cents" in to Kelly's Sheriff husband, Mike, and how he is ever-so-loving and patient with her! Also, everyone in town makes an appearance in each of the books, so you always have the feeling of friends nearby. I own all of Dianne Harman's audiobooks and almost all of the books in each series in digital form. If you have not read/listened to her work, you are in for a treat, and I'm confident that you, too, will want to also be the proud owner of each book. Keep up the great work, Dianne!

Erin deWard is so awesome! I love her as the narrator of each of the books. Her familiar voice makes me feel right at home. She is consistent with her tone and the female/male voices are played out well. Her speed is good, making the entire book enjoyable and easy to listen to! Fantastic job, Erin!

I rate this audiobook the same as all the others by Dianne Harman, narrated by Erin deWard...5/5 stars! The very first cozy mystery I ever read/listened to was Book 1 in this series (Kelly's Koffee Shop). After that, I was hooked, and I still am today! So, thank you ladies, for exposing me to the world of Cozy Mysteries! You keep me laughing, smiling, guessing through to the end every single time. I'm already looking forward to the next audiobook release....as patiently as I possibly can, anyway.

Thank you for reading my review. I hope it was helpful to you. :-)

An Excellent Cozy Mystery

Animal and dog lovers will especially like this audiobook! An amazing dog exposes the identity of a murderer and saves a life! The storyline of this mystery is really good. It kept me guessing until the end. Any one of the suspects could have been the perpetrator of the crime. The characters reminded me of real people. I liked that the story had so many positive and heartwarming moments. The narrator did a great job with the voices of the various characters. I would highly recommend this audiobook to others.

Great Story, Great Narration!

I really enjoy cozy mysteries that deal with pets. I found this book pulled me in immediately with the characters and the premise of the book. I had my suspicions on who the killer was, and was pleasantly surprised. I love it when its not obvious. The narrator, Erin deWard did great with this book. She fit the characters and added the right emotions. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. This book is a standalone listen. I would definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Trouble at the Animal Shelter

The description of the book didn’t quite match up with the story that I listened to. That being said, it was still a good cozy mystery.

Solving the mystery of who killed the retired teacher (not a kennel owner) who had 30 dogs had some twists and turns along the way. I liked how the author kept me guessing until the end.

This is the first i have listened by this author. It was fantastic. I loved the way the story flowed. The characters were great and the narrator really brought them to life. I will read/listen to more in this series. I was gifted this book at my request in exchange for an honest review.

Howling good read

I really enjoyed this. I listened to the audiobook most of the time and read at other times. I loved how this was written. There were quite a few suspects who would’ve had a good reason to want Maggie dead. In the end, it was pretty easy to guess who did it but it was the type of book where it was fun to see how he/she was discovered. I have to say, after being married to a cop who is now a magistrate, I hate how Kelly always goes out on her own to solve the murders without telling her husband the sheriff. This wouldn’t fly. At least not after the first time. My husband would kill me. But it is a murder mystery and as I always say, play along. That’s the fun of it ad the female character is supposed to be the sleuth.

I loved the dogs. I started listening to this a week after we had to have our 13 year old German Shepherd put down. At first I thought it would make it worse but no, it actually helped me through it. Thanks Dianne and also to the narrator.

The narration was good. She did voices well. Some of the deeper male voices seemed harder but all in all it was great.

Cute!

Trouble at the Animal Shelter is a super cute cozy mystery. I enjoyed the fun storyline and the twists along the way. The characters were interesting and relatable and the narrator did a great job in her performance.

Not exceptional

animals, pets, murder, law-enforcement, cozy-mystery

The publisher's blurb is somewhat informative but rather misleading. There seems to be an abundance of suspects and red herrings, but it moves a bit slowly for my taste.
Erin deWard does a respectable job as narrator.
