The Buried Biscuits- 2007 (Post 216)
The Buried Biscuits is the seventh story in the Jack Russell: Dog Detective series. Jack has another food-related case but that's not so surprising; he is a terrier, after all. Following on from Book #6, we see Foxie still obsessed with his stomach and a hint about Jack's previous interest in visiting Jill Russell at the station.
Jill Russell has a secret, and Foxie is as angry as a terrier can be. Someone
tossed a packet of biscuits over Foxie's fence, and Auntie Tidge took them
away. This means war. Since Foxie adores Auntie Tidge he has to fight with
someone else- Jack.
Foxie and Jill aren't the only dogs acting strangely. Lord Red has found something
interesting down at the reserve, and soon all the dogs of Doggeroo are playing
hunt the biscuit. Bellyaches result, the vet is cross, and the dogs find
themselves under house arrest. All but Jill Russell, who is much too
busy for biscuits, and somewhat paranoid as a result. Finally, Jack solves the case, but can he ever look at a
biscuit again?
Also available on triple CD (along with The Sausage Situation and The Kitnapped Creature) from Bolinda Audio, read by the wonderful Alan King.

The goal for 2017 is to write a post a day profiling the background behind one of my books; how it came to be written, what it's about, and any things of note that happened along the way. If you're an author, an aspiring author, a reader or just someone who enjoys windows into worlds, you might find this fun. The books are not in any special order, but will be assigned approximate dates, and pictures, where they exist. If you enjoyed a post, or want to ask about any of my books or my manuscript assessment service.
