They say every dog has his day.
Well, today I’ve certainly had mine.
Hey, I’m Albertus Eagle and it turns out I’m an unwitting pet detective. I haven’t always been such a successful legal beagle, but when I’m confronted with a case that is so personal I can’t ignore it, I discover I have a passion for finding those who don’t want to be found.
Cleo the cat. Well, she came along for the ride too.
So, sure I’ve had my day today, but not in the sense of being past my prime. To the contrary, the fun is just starting. And I am buzzing with a new purpose, mixed with a tiny amount of vindictive elation.
Why?
Because, I’ve not only found myself a new home after the untimely demise of my previous owner, but I’ve also made amends with the cat. It turns out she’s not that bad, really.
On top of that though, and this is what really sends shivers racing all the way down my spine to my paws, is that we’ve fingered a killer.
How?
Because you human’s, you underestimate us animals. And while you go about your business ignoring our very existence, the cat and I are listening and taking notes.
This is the first full length novel in the Albertus Eagle detective beagle series of animal cozy mysteries, starring Albertus Eagle, and his two sidekicks, Cleo the cat and Bella Schuhmann, the smart human who actually understands him. In this wonderful full length book packed with humour and satire, we see the world of murder and intrigue set up through the eyes of a loyal dog turned amateur sleuth.

JENA’S REVIEW
Every Dog has his Day: An animal Cozy Mystery by Chloe Grace
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Clever, creative and fun! I enjoyed this sweet cozy mystery featuring the first Detective Beagle I have ever read about! There is a prequel to this book, which I haven’t read yet, but I had no trouble making friends with Albie the Beagle, his sidekick Cleo the cat, and their human, Bella.
The trio of Albie, Cleo and Bella have a serious situation on their hands. They fear that the former mistress of the animals, Milly, was murdered. The three of them put their various skills together and romp around the English countryside looking for clues. Along the way, Bella meets a charming policeman, Pip.
Of course, the fun in a cozy mystery is the whole zany process of amateurs solving a crime and there’s plenty of fun entertainment in this book. What makes this book especially endearing is that Albie the dog and Cloe the cat are in the hands of a creative author. Albie can communicate with Bella because Bella can fully understand him! Turns out the cat can communicate with Albie and Bella, too.
The author makes it work, while still having Albie and Bella act like animals. Well done! Here are some charming examples. Sometimes Albie has to talk to the cat while she sits in an empty box. Bella explains to both of them how humans think. “This is the thing about humans, we do like a good moan. Whingeing about life somehow validates us.” And Albie’s keen nose helps the trio as they sniff out the crime.
This is a warm and friendly cozy mystery with a happy and satisfying ending. Looking forward to more books in this series. Thanks to the author and Rachel’s Random Reviews for a digital review copy. This is my honest review.
Author Bio – Chloe Grace is the cozy mystery pen name for romantic mystery author, Karen Botha. While she doesn’t understand animals quite as well as Bella in the Albertus Eagle Detective Beagle cozy mysteries, she does chat along to her rescue dog, Shadow, pretty much all day.
And she’s sure that he chats back.
Chloe lives with Shadow and her hubby in a small outpost of London city—funnily enough it’s a little like where Bella and Albie live. As a family they like to go on walks in the local woods and throw a tennis ball until their respective arms ache, which is usually before Shadow shows any hint of exhaustion.
While her first romance novels were inspired by true life events, the Albertus Eagle series are complete imagination – although her conversations with Shadow can’t be ignored.
