The Blue Stealer (Jack Russell Dog Detective #9) Darrel and Sally Odgers. 2009. 80 pages. [Source: Review copy]
First sentence: "There's a new dog in town," grumbled Foxie.
Premise/plot: Jack Russell and his sprat, Preacher, are back working another case in The Blue Stealer. The mystery in this one involves both dogs and humans. A burglar is making the rounds in Doggeroo, and his accomplice is a dog. Can Jack and his friends bring these criminals to justice with a little help from their humans?
Meanwhile, it seems Jack Russell's human, Sarge, has fallen in love and is getting married...
My thoughts: I really LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this one. The mystery had more substance than previous mysteries in this series. (Some books the mysteries are so light and fluffy that they hardly qualify as mysteries.) I really loved all the dogs working together. And Preacher and Jack together are so super adorable. I loved the nose maps, the glossary, and the Jack's Facts.
