But suddenly Ruby is quoting Shakespeare and coming up with random sayings she couldn’t possibly have overheard. And what does any of this have to do with a bank robbery and the death of a security guard in a town a hundred miles away?

In their usual fashion, the super-smart little dogs will gather the clues so Zack and his cop buddy Vance can put it all together. Readers are loving these indomitable dog sleuths.

Book excerpt: In a book that explores the phenomenon of stuttering from its practical and physical aspects to its historical profile to its existential implications, Shell, who has himself struggled with stuttering all his life, plumbs the depths of this murky region between will and flesh, intention and expression, idea and word. Looking into the difficulties encountered by people who stutter--as do fifty million world-wide--Shell shows that stutterers share a kinship with many other speakers, both impeded and fluent. This book takes us back to a time when stuttering was believed to be 'diagnosis-induced, ' then on to the complex mix of physical and psychological causes that were later discovered. Ranging from cartoon characters like Porky Pig to cultural icons like Marilyn Monroe, from Moses to Hamlet, Shell reveals how stuttering in literature plays a role in the formation of tone, narrative progression and character.--From publisher description.

Valuable memorabilia and movie props—including a movie weapon Michael Biehn owns—are disappearing, and Zack and the corgis are tasked with finding and recovering the priceless items. Meanwhile, Zack and Jillian are settling into their new over-the-top home, she with her extensive library and he with a game room and home theater that’s the dream of every guy on the planet. But unpacking everything must wait because comic-con is only in town for the weekend and these crooks are a slippery bunch. As the police, along with Zack, Sherlock, and Watson investigate the thefts, it turns out that quite a few pieces of memorabilia are missing, from events all around the country, and they may be dealing with an international ring of masterminds. How are the team going to track down everything? They must act quickly to catch the thieves before they leave Pomme Valley, or the good stuff will disappear forever.

Book excerpt: Zack and Jillian rush home from their previous case at the distressing news that her kitchen shop, Cookbook Nook, has been broken into and ransacked. It’s a puzzle indeed, when it appears the only thing the thief took were some tubs of ice cream from the café section of the store. Luckily, her security cameras caught the thief in the act. Now they just have to locate him. But things get complicated when the thief is found murdered. And so is his next of kin, and that’s when the police pretty much hit a dead end. Two jurisdictions are involved—it’s Pomme Valley versus Medford. A bet takes place between the two police chiefs, as each races to put their best detectives on the case to figure out why anyone would steal very specific flavors of ice cream, leaving others behind. More ice cream stores are targeted, and the stakes ramp up. Sherlock and Watson and Zack are on the case (for the Pomme Valley team, of course). Zack has a lot riding on the hope that the dogs can spot enough clues to put the whole story together. Readers are loving these indomitable dog sleuths. Meet Zack and the corgis, Sherlock and Watson, in this delightfully humorous cozy mystery series that pulls you right in.
