I've followed this series since the beginning and have found that I tend to somehow always find time to sit down immediately and read about Sherlock and Watson's latest crime solving antics. And, oh, yeah, their humans and human friends. Human Zach has at least grown accustomed to pulling out his phone to snap a photo of whatever the dogs seem to be focused on, usually some vague clue that, you guessed it, leads to the guilty party. It just takes the humans awhile to sit down and mull over the photos to decipher what clue the dogs are trying to give them. How do Sherlock and Watson, who I guess should be addressed as Lady Watson, do it? I have no clue. Neither do their human companions and friends. It doesn't matter. It's always a fun read, full of self-deprecating humor and, yes, intriguing clues.
In this case, they're focused on Civil War era artifacts found under the foundation of Zach's home, and the identities of human bones also found. It's rather nice to see Zach go against the usual amateur sleuth trend when they are stolen and, rather than trying to solve the mystery of who and why, call in others more qualified to sort things out, including archeologists and the police. The dogs, of course, are front-and-center when it comes time to figure out who'd steal those same bones. Why would anyone swipe old bones? Not telling. You'll just have to read the book. I think you'll enjoy it, especially if you like your mysteries with humor, fun characters, wisecracks, and way smart, adorable corgis.
