The Dog Who Came In From the Cold – Alexander McCall Smith
Digital audiobook performed by Simon Prebble
3***

Book Two in the Corduroy Mansions series, starring Pimlico terrier Freddie de la Hay.

I love these ensemble works that Alexander McCall Smith writes, where we get to the residents of a building or neighborhood over time. In this episode a literary agent is representing a new author – The Abominable Snowman; a pair of new-age operators have decided to set up their center for cosmological studies; and Freddie is recruited by M16 to infiltrate a Russian spy ring.

It's been quite some time since I read the first, so, other than Freddie (and his owner James), I don’t remember of these characters are recurring. Doesn’t make much difference, really. Even this snapshot is enough to endear them to me.

Simon Prebble does a fine job of narrating the audiobook. He has quite a lot of character to deal with, and he is up to the task .
