I almost returned the tagged book unread to make room for a 48-hour audiobook that came in way earlier than expected, but I decided to at least give it a go. Now I‘ve got an exciting new author to explore! While I solved the mystery many hours before Jake, I had such a great time with all the small town community stuff and the strong friendships that I couldn‘t care about the story‘s faults. I made excuses to listen more. #audiobaking

xicanti If you, too, want to make Nanaimo bars while you listen to something great, I recommend the city of Nanaimo‘s official recipe. It‘s on their website. I make it in a 9x13 pan instead of an 8x8, with the base and topping as written but the custard filling doubled. Please note, also, that you MUST use sweetened coconut. Unsweetened mucks up the base‘s texture. 2w
BkClubCare Stacked! (The official city recipe ✔️) 2w
xicanti @BkClubCare excellent choice! 2w
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian Ha, I live in Nanaimo and I didn't know we had an official recipe! 2w
xicanti @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I think it was near the top of the results when I searched for a recipe a few years back! It‘s a good starting point, but needed some tweaking. The official base is almost half again as thick as the custard. 2w

This was my introduction to Bowen's mystery series set in Regina, Saskatchewan. I enjoyed the story and especially liked the characters and will be looking out for more books in this series.

Actually my favourite chapter was the one with the two owls (Mowat used those owls in his fictional kids‘ story, “Owls in the Family”). The book was more like short stories, but that‘s ok. Mutt was a character. A lot of people seem to consider this a children‘s book, but I didn‘t think it read that way. A boy and his dog, sure. I suppose that would appeal, but it didn‘t seem particularly written for kids. I‘m rating it good.

Breakfast reading with Cooper. He‘s my little shadow, this guy. The other dogs sometimes wander off to do their own things, but Coopy‘s never very far away. I think he especially likes reading time because it‘s prime snuggle time.

I maybe made a mistake in listening to the audio. Maria herself read it, but she has a very monotone voice. I thought that I was still able to focus in the first half or so of the book, but I did miss things as the book continued, and I suspect I missed more earlier in the book than I originally thought
