What An Animal Reading Challenge discussion

But if my favorite authors put out books in existing series next year, I may well beat that.

A Skeleton in the Family by Leigh Perry has an akita (dog) that plays an amusing part.

Murder, Simply Stitched by Isabell Alan has a Nubian goat that saves the day, after being a problem kid throughout the book.

Body on the Bayou by Ellen Byron has a mama cat and dog with their babies that are found by our AS. When she finds the owner, is gives her the final clue to solve the mystery.

I completed level two today, so I am now aiming for level three. My first twelve books in this challenge are:
1. A Skeleton in the Family – Dog – Akita Byron who steals the skeleton bones and exposes the murder.
2. Murder, Simply Stitched – Isabell Alan – Nubian Goat.
3. Body on the Bayou by Ellen Byron – A mom cat and dog with their kittens provide the final clue to the killer.
