THE CASE OF THE POISONED PIG The Milo and Jazz Mysteries, Book 2

When it appears that Jazz’s new pot-bellied pig has been poisoned, it’s clearly a second case for detectives-in-training Milo and Jazz. This time the advice given by their mentor, Dash Marlowe, is to “look for patterns.” The initial clues point to Mrs. Budge, whose flower beds have been repeatedly disturbed, or class clown Gordy, but could “patterns” indicate someone else? Vinnie Penna and Chantale Hosein are true to their original Milo and Jazz characterizations—enthusiastic, questioning, and childlike. They also take new characters in stride—an imperious older sister, a deep-voiced Gordy, and a younger brother. Penna and Hosein set a fast pace that fits the determined duo. Additional short mysteries from Dash Marlowe conclude the episode. A.R. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2012]
