Oodles of Poodles is an enjoyable cozy mystery. It is the fourth book of the Pet Rescue Mystery series but I was able to read it as a standalone. The director of Sheba's Story is murdered. Lauren Vancouver, the head administrator for HotRescues animal rescue shelter, is on the set to ensure that the animals in the movie are being cared for and not abused. She stirs up people when she asks questions trying to clear her friend Carlie, the vet for the animals. I liked the characters. I liked how they interact with each other and are not afraid to get mad with one another and let their feelings be known. I also liked how each dog mentioned is given a breed and a name so I could picture what the dog looks like. This was a fun read. Naturally, I did not figure out the murderer. I want to read the earlier books in the series as well as her other series, Kendra Ballantyne, Pet Sitters Mysteries. ( )

In Johnston’s mystery novel, shelter manager and pet rescuer Lauren Vancouver is observing production on a new movie called Sheba’s Story. The main character is a white poodle and to ensure no animals are hurt during filming Lauren’s friend, veterinarian Carlie Stellan, and Grant, an American Humane Association representative, is on location. Following a run-in with Carlie about animal safety, the director is found dead and it’s up to amateur sleuth Lauren to solve the crime.

A great addition to a heartfelt series. ( )
