What readers say
Steve Higgs is best known for Albert Smith and his clever dog Rex, who solve crimes on British food tours and in later thrillers, and also writes the Patricia Fisher and Blue Moon books with characters who cross over. Readers love the humor, the detective-and-dog pairing, the food and travel details and the warm recurring casts. Common criticisms are thin or predictable mysteries, typos and layout slips, characters who stay one-note, and talking-animal chapters that not everyone enjoys. A few fans say later books are less funny than the early ones.
Best for: Readers who want funny, fast British cozies with recurring casts and don't mind light mysteries.
