The Mattress Affair (Flint and Steele Mysteries, #1) - by Cheryl Landmark

I was asked by Cheryl if I would read and review this book for her.

Firstly I would like to thank Cheryl for providing me with a copy of this book.

its about 23 000 words so it is not very long novel.

The book is being told out of Flints view - Flint aka the Nose is a 4 and 1/2 year old Black Labrador and his human
companion Meredith Steelle.

Flint's best Friend is Georgie a Jack Russel

Abigail is Flints and Meredith Neighbour and old woman who isn't very nice except to Flint.

The "Baddies" of the story is Caleb and his wife - Abigails Nephew.

After using his nose and sharpend hearing and solving nomurous case Flint decides to open his own Detective agency namely Flint and Steelle - although Meredith isn't aware she is a partner.

The fact that the book is being told out of Flints perspective is what's making the book so funny. While reading and then looking at my puppy I can't help but think is this how my pup also thinks.

The one part that made me smile and laugh is when Flints going to Georgie to recruit him for a stake out and he realise that Georgie went to the vet, the fact that he felt so sorry for his friend and that Flint states he himself is still a bit traumatised from his Vet visit in spring.

Also loved the Pee-messaged.  I think that's how dog thinks.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves animals and is up for a detective story that is not so serious and is light.  Also a great read for young teenagers.

love this book.
