New York Times best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith brings his peerless wit to this second entry featuring a motley collection of residents in London’s Pimlico neighborhood.

Literary agent Barbara Ragg has agreed to represent a man writing a book about his experiences hanging out with the Abominable Snowman. Terence Moongrove’s residence has become the target of New Age cosmologists. And pint-sized terrier Freddie de la Hay is being recruited by MI6 to infiltrate a Russian spy ring.

What did you love best about The Dog Who Came in from the Cold?

Picked up right where the other book left off without too much repetition about what happened in the last adventure.

What does Simon Prebble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His fabulous accent!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, its easy light listening that I enjoy but don't feel compelled to stay up all night to read.

Any additional comments?

If you like the different Alexander McCall Smith series you will like this one too. I keep expecting them to run into Bertie.

Funny, touching, exciting even. A not so shaggy dog satire (albeit a fond satire) of the British spy genre. Superb narration by Simon Prebble whose voice conveys just the right humorous note when called for. Prebble is a master with accents as well, a much needed skill to carry off this brilliantly written work.

Doggone Wonderful

Love Freddy Delahay and the others to.

There are so many story lines! And each plays out along the way so my interest was held throughout. Of course, Simon Prebble is excellent.

Love the dog!
