The Hounds of Barkerville

In her fourth book, author-illustrator Carol Marie Davis has written a collection of delightful mysteries featuring sassy sleuth hound Kimi. The setting is semi-tropical Florida neighborhood where Kimi and her band of canine friends help their humans track down missing rare orchids, valuable violins and other mysteries. Based on her own experiences adopting a puppy with an excellent nose from the Humane Society of Sarasota County, Davis gives voice to a wide range of dogs, from spunky Hernando the Chihuahua to Biz-Kid the Pit Bull with a goofy smile. Pen and ink illustrations adorning each chapter add another dimension to the tales, which are appropriate for readers young and old.
