Chrissy the Shih Tzu Cozy Mystery by Diane Wing is a fascinating read; in
turn, hilarious and heartwarming. At the time that Autumn Clarke is grieving
the loss of her parents, killed in a car crash, she meets Chrissy, a Shih Tzu
with extraordinary gifts. Chrissy has also experienced loss, being the sole
witness to the murder of her pet parents. Autumn adopts Chrissy and together
they set out to unravel clues in a murder with the help of other characters they
meet along the way. This is a cozy mystery at its best, filled with twisting
moments and featuring characters — both human and animal — that readers are
going to root for. Will they be able to solve the murder and heal?
This tale is immersive from the get-go as readers are
introduced to the themes of death and murder. The author rouses the curiosity
of readers from the opening pages with the obituary announcements and a murder
scene. The prose is crisp and delectable and one has the impression that this
author understands the economy of words. Yes, she wastes no precious word,
creating relentless drama in the narrative as she explores the relationship
between Autumn and Chrissy the Shih Tzu in the midst of grief and a murder
investigation. The detective is another character that arrests the attention of
readers. Diane Wing’s use of anthropomorphism enriches characterization, making
Chrissy a character that readers can relate to; she reads human emotions with
accuracy and succeeds in building a strong connection with Autumn. Fans will
adore the beautifully crafted dialogues, the strong plot points, and the
realism infused into the writing. This is a mesmerizing tale from the first
page, emotionally rich, and a highly sophisticated cozy mystery that will
surely keep you engaged until the last captivating page.
