About this listen

In this second installment in the series, Chrissy digs up clues to help Autumn solve a historical disappearance and a modern-day murder mystery

Autumn Clarke is getting her life back to normal with the help of her extraordinary shih tzu, Chrissy, when the death of a local philanthropist reveals the man’s dark family secrets, as well as unexpected ties to Autumn. When Chrissy discovers a dog-eared diary in the dead man’s family home, Autumn discovers that things in the Clarke family are not quite as they seem.

Can Autumn interpret the hidden clues in the dog-eared diary to crack the most puzzling disappearance in Knollwood history? Are the recent murders connected to the past? Is Chrissy more insightful than Autumn realized?

"I have fallen in love with Chrissy and Autumn and their continuing journey to health while finding themselves in the middle of a murder mystery adventure. My pre-teen daughter and I enjoyed reading The Dog-Eared Diary and then discussing the clues, plot twists, and characters." (Antoinette Brickhaus, Maryland)

"Through the relationship between Autumn and Chrissy, Wing also shows the importance of therapy animals and how much they can help those who need them. Add a sweet romance to the intrigue of the mystery and you've got a book that you won't want to put down." (Melissa Alvarez, Intuitive, animal communicator and author of Animal Frequency and Llewellyn's Little Book of Spirit Animals)

"Diane Wing has created a wonderfully endearing little character in Chrissy the Shih Tzu. It really shines through that the author is a lover of animals and dogs. I can see these books quickly becoming a cherished addition to the cozy mystery genre." (J. New, author of The Yellow Cottage Vintage Mysteries)

Good twists with interesting characters

I was provided with a free copy of this audiobook in return for an honest review.

Having already listened to the first book in this series, I was already aware of who the key characters were and was interested to see how the author would develop them (or not as the case maybe).

Without giving away anything from either novel, I would like to say that as a mystery this is well plotted, has a sensible number of red herrings to keep you guessing, and characters you actually want to learn more about. The advent of Chrissy as a main protagonist is a lovely idea as the author has tried to make well thought out decisions without dwelling too much on how different the dog could seem to a reader/listener.

I like the well drawn characters, particularly Autumn as she struggles with her PTSD and tries to overcome the obstacles the author throws at her. And although the concentration is on her and Chrissy, with some side characters being slightly sidelined, I think this is a great story and enjoyable listen.

If I had purchased this book I would have been more than happy with my purchase, and if you like mystery novels and love dogs, this is definitely the book for you.

Brilliant adaptation

While attending a local festival Chrissy digs up a skeleton, and once again Autumn finds herself up to her neck in murder. She is surrounded by a new family and old grudges and hidden enimies. This is a wonderful mystery with more wonderful characters. This story extols the help therapy animals provide
