American politics goes to the dogs.

Any additional comments?

This is not a book which could be easily summerised. Nor even simple to categorise. It is a a sprightly written and amusing tale of domestic relationships, a political satire, containing more than one murder mystery, spies. And dogs. Filled with great characters, this lovely book's stories dart like coloured fishes through different scenarios - and they all seem to make perfect sense. It was a sheer joy.
The pleasure is increased by the narration of C.J.McCallister who breathes even more life into all of the protagonists with his varied and clearly differentiated voicings, including a marvellous Texan drawl for an investigative journalist named Dallas. And a personal favourite, Nigel, an AI butler who certainly pulls out all the stops to care for his people, is once again featured. I am a relative newcomer to the books of Lauren Carr - this is only my second - but I am already beginning to feel that I know some of these people personally. At number twelve in the series it might have been difficult to enter into this world, but it isn't: part of the joy is meeting the folks as the story unfolds.

This is a delectably delicious story of deception, death and dogs - amusing and easy listening with plenty of twists and turns and thrills of the chase.. Definitely recommended.

Amazing narration from C.J. McAllister

While running for Mayor Gnarly is under investigation. That is when mudslinging starts his competition will stop at nothing to undermine him.

Another great humours murder mystery.

I vote Gnarly for President

I loved this book. This book was so much fun and just the idea that a dog could be mayor had me laughing and plugging in my ear buds and to be honest I think the way the world is that politicians would actually get more voters if a dog was a candidate. However it is so much more than that. There is a lot of characters because the elections throws up three murder cases that different family members focus on as they try to get Gnarly elected. This makes for three very different but interesting cases as the ripple effect spreads and I was hooked until the very end. It might sound confusing but I have heard a few of the books in the series and this helped to keep the relationships and characters straight, so you might want to read or listen to some of the other books first, I loved the characters especially Gnarly and even the computer butler, both who had me chuckling most of the time. There was also a lot of action, things blowing up and even some heroic dog rescuing of cats from burning buildings (hehe). I can't wait for the next book.
Fed up with the two candidates for the new mayoral face Spence police chief nominates his brother's dog Gnarly as a joke. When things snowball out of hand and Gnarly gets his own campaign manger it looks like he might win the election and his opponents resort to dirty tactics by digging up Gnarly's past. Just how many skeletons in the closet can a dog have? The opponents dig deep and find his service record, of the time he spent in Afghanistan. Mac and the team must clear Gnarly's name by un sealing his army record and finding out what really happened to his old handler. But the dirty tactics don't stop there and one of the other candidates is murdered and with Gnarly having no alibi for the time of the murder, things don't look good. The whole family rallies behind Gnarly to clear his name for both murders but will they do it in time for the big vote?
I like the narrator. He seems a bit gruff when he first starts talking but I quickly grew to like his manner of speaking and he does some good male and female voices.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request from audiobooksunleashed and have voluntarily left this review.

VOTE FOR GNARLY

Police Chief David O’Callaghan is so disgusted with the two cantidates for mayor. He puts Gnarly name on the ballot. One thing leads to another and Gnarly is leading in the race. This is a great story with murders and a smear campaign on Gnarly. Mac is not going to stand for that.
A brilliant listen
