I’m going to be honest, I only picked up this book to read the next installment of Oberon’s Meaty Mysteries.
Story wise, it was just the right length and I enjoyed ever second of it. The pacing is definitely slower than the last Mysteries, but then again Atticus is a bit more chilled in this book, seeing that he is not longer on the run for his life. So, Oberon, Starbuck, and Atticus were able to take their time tracking down the killer in the story. I thoroughly enjoyed the odd way Oberon looks at the world and his constant affection towards Atticus.
I found myself chuckling on server occasions to the back and forth between the two. I admitting broke out into a fully belly chuckle when I read the advice Oberon gave to Atticus on how he should be “vague” about how he lost his arm. I honestly wasn’t expecting it and the whole delivery of it under the circumstances of the story caught me off guard and I could help by laugh out loud. Well done Mr. Hearne; and please continue writing more of these meaty mysteries as you see fit and providing us snippets on how Atticus is getting along. Atticus can stay in the background, but the shenanigans his dogs get into are always a welcomed distraction.
