This is the ninth book in the Toby Peters series, and I've enjoyed all of the books in this series that I've read. In this one, Toby is hired by Eleanor Roosevelt to find the real Fala, as she suspects that the dog in the White House at that moment is an imposter.
Toby begins his investigation, and almost immediately runs afoul with his brother, a captain in the police department, when he discovers a fresh dead body. Between his bouts with his brother, dealing with his deaf landlady, finding the dog, and worrying about possible political plots, he has his hands full, even with the help of his friends, Gunther and Jeremy.
The book is set during World War II, and little touches throughout the book remind you that it was a different time, with different values and different ideas. As always, I enjoyed this little trip back into a slightly time-frame. The plot is filled with twists, and famous people of the era are mentioned, or even occur as a character in the story.
This is number 20 in my Craving for Cozies Challenge, and is also part of my Mount TBR Reading Challenge, as this was first purchased on 2 December 2013.
