An amusing story of a private investigator and his dog

Alexander McBee is a New York private investigator who doesn’t have much flair or luck in solving his cases. One day, Her Schnoodle, a very unattractive dog, appears by the pier next to McBee who was quietly contemplating on his unhappy life. Alexander rescues the dog and brings him home. Her Scnoodle proves to be a gifted dog who finds the missing evidence in McBee’s cases. With his help, the investigator gains confidence and becomes successful at catching the offenders.

The story takes a romantic twist when Darcy, a charming reporter, is sent by her boss to spy on McBee. Darcy’s determination to get a story to publish, leads her to find important information on the investigator’s friend Apple Sally, a bag lady on the run with a dangerous history. With the help of the reporter, Alexander unravels the mystery behind Sally’s past. Throughout this time, McBee also finds himself attracted to both women and in the end he goes for the one he deeply cares for.

P.K. Paranya is an established author, who writes very well: Her novel ‘Herr Schnoodle & McBee’ is an intelligent and humorous story. Moreover, the author portrays the main characters in the most creative way: a bag lady suffering with amnesia, a gifted ugly dog solving mystery cases, a grumpy private investigator with many phobias and an attractive reporter, willing to risk it all for a good story. Overall, the plot is captivating and the reader will find himself trying to solve the puzzles along with McBee and his Scnoodle.

I enjoyed reading this novel to a great extent. I thought it has wit and all the ingredients necessary to make a wonderful and entertaining detective tale. This book is with no doubt a fantastic read!
