JACK RUSSELL #1 DOG DEN MYSTERY

The first installment in the Jack Russell series finds canine sleuth Jack moving to Doggeroo with his owner, Sarge, a police detective, and attempting to uncover a neighborhood thief. Alan King's animated reading delivers several distinctive characters in this boisterous, engaging mystery, which includes lively music and snappy sound effects. King's robust Australian accent deftly conveys a dashing sense of bravado, appropriate for a determined terrier on the trail of a criminal. As the narration takes on a zany, over-the-top energy reminiscent of cops and robbers, listeners will root for Jack as he sniffs out the culprit.
