This was an OK mystery.  A retired policeman and his dog are traveling around England to enjoy classic English culinary classics.  While making pork pies he stumbles across a crime.  With the help of some locals they set out to solve it.  The mystery was OK but it was easy to solve.  I did not really warm up the characters.  It was a quick read.

Fun caper

The book definitely gives you a sense of place, and makes you crave pork pies. The young characters seem to act uncharacteristically mature, but the occasional dog’s eye view is entertaining.
