Miss Riddell and the Pet Thefts: A Cozy Mystery with Animals Where Mobsters and Petnappers Collide (Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries Book 5) Kindle Edition

by P.C. James (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (80)
If this pup doesn't get found fast, her feisty younger sister could be on the hook for a life-threatening crime…

Manchester, England, 1960s. Miss Riddell has no taste for modern fashions. Which gives her yet another bone to pick with the youngest and wildest family member whom she blames for their father's recent death. But the stern-minded amateur sleuth puts aside her grievances when her sibling is accused of stealing a murderous mobster's dog.

Teaming up with her sister and a now retired friend from the police force, Miss Riddell discovers that the former cop is hot on the tail of a vanished feline film star. And as this unlikely trio of investigators chases two sets of paw prints across the city, she and her partners run headlong into a dastardly plot.

Can youthful impetuosity combined with seasoned caution save the four-legged day?

Miss Riddell and the Pet Thefts is the lighthearted fifth book in the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series. If you like quirky teams, mafia mix-ups, and the Swinging Sixties, then you'll love P.C. James's furry frolic.

________________________________________

Praise for the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries Series:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pauline Riddell is sharp. She is curious, maybe a bit nosey, but she gets the job done.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ … an easy read, perfect for a winter night in front of the roaring fire-place with a cup of hot cocoa cuddled up with a few friendly blankets.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ These books are simply a pleasant way to while away a few hours, literary staycations essentially.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good plot, great pacing, interesting characters.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A cozy mystery in the classic definition, much like curling up with an Agatha Christie.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The author will keep you guessing who did it and why.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’ve always loved mysteries, especially those involving Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Perhaps because Miss Marple reminds me of my aunts when I was growing up. But Agatha never told us much about Miss Marple's earlier life. While writing my own elderly super-sleuth series, I’m tracing her career from the start. As you’ll see, if you follow the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series.

However, this is my Bio, not Miss Riddell’s, so here goes with all you need to know about me: After retiring, I became a writer and when I’m not feverishly typing on my laptop, you’ll find me running, cycling, walking, and taking wildlife photos wherever and whenever I can. My cozy mystery series begins in northern England because that was my home growing up and that’s also the home of so many great cozy mysteries. Stay with me though because Miss Riddell loves to travel as much as I do and the stories will take us to the many different places around the world I’ve lived in or visited.

    Such a delightful, charming, and fun mystery! I enjoyed the who-done-it charm and mystery right from the beginning. Then the relationships between Miss Riddell, her sister, and Ramsay continued to develop throughout the story, making their conversations as intriguing as the detective work. If you want the afternoon to be whisked away as you play detective, head for your favorite chair, sip on a cup of tea, and help Miss Riddell figure out who stole the pets.

    I have to admit, I was a bit leery to read a mystery about pet thefts but because I enjoyed the previous Miss Riddell books I thought I would give it a go. Although parts of it were somewhat discombobulated, I must say, it was a fun & interesting story. I enjoyed the reunion of the two main characters and getting acquainted with Pauline’s wild and wooly sister.

    If you like amateur sleuths, you will love this series about Miss Pauline Riddell. This particular book is set in the 1950's in England. I especially enjoy following this historical heroine's thought process in order to solve the mystery. It looks like author P.C. James has another great story on his hands!

    Another enjoyable, light-hearted mystery from P.C. James. This one had me at missing pets! Miss Riddell has some help finding the missing cat and dog; her good friend, Inspector Ramsey, now retired, and her sister, Jane. These two sisters couldn’t be more different which leads to much humorous conflict. And they both seem good at getting into trouble. A fun and entertaining read.

    There’s nothing sordid about this this delightful book. I’m not a fan of anything scary or salacious, and thankfully, this book is nothing of the sort. Well-drawn characters solving a mystery with imagination, wit, and humor set in a not-too-distant past that feels amazingly contemporary. Highly recommended!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A mystery that is truly a cozy read
    Reviewed in Canada on April 23, 2023

    I have enjoyed all of Miss Riddell's murder mysteries since 'In the beginning there was a murder'. Five years has passed in story time since then and we are transported to the Yorkshire countryside in 1958. The police inspector has retired with a delightful new character in the form of a puppy. It is a comfortable read without too many complex sub-plots. I am already looking forward to the next in the series.
