RASCALLY RACCOON RIOT (EBOOK)
A front-page forgery, a dead auctioneer, and a very persistent raccoon…
When a traveling antique show comes to town, Angela Atkinson is first to the auction. But when the show’s auctioneer is found dead and a priceless antique disappears, she gets more than she bargained for. The police are quick to pin it on the auctioneer’s unsavory past, but Angela suspects there’s more to the story.
With her trusty dog Ruff by her side, Angela uncovers a series of forgeries, secrets, and lies. The missing antique is a fake, and the real one might just hold the key to the murder. As Angela delves deeper, she realizes that the auctioneer’s death is only the beginning.
As a nosy raccoon leads Angela to an unexpected discovery, she realizes that there is more to the case than meets the eye. Can she solve the mystery in time before the killer gets away?

As noted with earlier books in the series, they are all easy to read, nice characters, and interesting story-line/mystery.I do have a few gripes.Again, editing issues (not enough to drive me crazy) are a bit frustrating.There are some recurring characters who are not explained, so if you've not been reading the series, you'd be a bit lost.I am increasingly bothered by Angela acting like a police officer - she makes decisions and gives orders, which seems completely unrealistic for a private investigator.Her boyfriend, David, hardly makes an appearance in this book, which is a shame. I'd like to see their relationship progress.I do still hope to continue the series, but it feels like things need to move on a bit.I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I found this book to be a bit lacking. From the title, I was expecting the raccoon to be more prominent in the story, but he only appeared twice! And I found the storyline slow and tedious. There just wasn't the excitement like the other books had. And where was her boyfriend? Hardly heard about him.
Angela once again finds herself in the middle of intrigue. An innocent trip to an antique auction finds her wrapped up in a case involving a dead auctioneer, a missing priceless antique, forgeries, lies and secrets. With her dog Ruff McPaw at her side, she is determined to get to the bottom of this before the killer gets away! She even gets some help from a very nosy raccoon! This 9th book in the Ruff McPaw mystery series won’t disappoint! Looking forward to #10!I received an ARC copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is book 9 in one of my favorite cozy mystery series. Angie and Ruff, her fearless pooch, are at work again. This time to solve a murder and the forgery of antiques.I love these books. They’re quick, easy reads with very likeable characters. I like the great working relationship between Angie and the local police department. And Angie even has her retired father to fall back on for advice with her cases.I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
angela and ruff tackle a seemingly impossible mystery with their usual tenacity. a very convoluted trail finally leads to the capture of the bad guys. this was a well written story. i enjoyed it.
