An enjoyable read. I was expecting a “cozy” mystery and there are some elements of that here, but it’s also a surprisingly gritty murder mystery. Auntie Lil is a hoot.

The ten short stories are:
- Twelve Highlanders An' A Bagpipe
- Killer Thanksgiving
- Fideau Saves the Day
- Cozy Cottage for Rent
- A Tale of Two Vineyards
- Inventions Can Be Murder
- One Night in Brownsville
- The Totem
- Pound of Flesh
- Case of the Prized Pies

These are all cosy mystery stories, following amateur sleuths such as human Birdie in Killer Thanksgiving and dog Fideau in Fideau Saves the Day. As short reads, these are good stories for start-up mystery readers due to the quick read and the range of style, from dog instincts to murder. My favourites are Killer Thanksgiving, Fideau Saves the Day, Cozy Cottage for Rent, and Pound of Flesh.

This was a bit of a fluff book for me. Something I didn't need to concentrate on. I think of the authors included I most enjoyed the stories by Connie Shelton (Inventions can be Murder), Sarah R. Shaber (Pound of Flesh), and Susan Slater (The Totem). Some of the stories didn't have as much of a mystery element as I would have preferred (which I'll confess can be hard to incorporate in short story format) so I may or may not look out for the authors in question.
