The Chocolate Labradoodle Caper (A Damien Dickens Mystery Book 3) by Phyllis Entis is a fabulous sleuth mystery set in the 1980s. On their slightly misrepresented honeymoon cruise, Damien and Millie befriend Barbara, a psychiatric nurse. Never expecting to see her after they disembark from The Yankee Clipper, Damien and Millie are surprised when Barbara walks into their office and asks for their protection. Barbara explains that she is not a nurse, but is a journalist for a Montreal newspaper. Something that Barbara has discovered has put her in danger, and now someone is following her. Before Damien and Millie can determine why somebody is following Barbara, she is the victim of a hit and run accident. When Barbara regains consciousnesses, she can't remember anything. What did Barbara uncover that is so vital that someone wants her dead? The only answer to be found is in the coded notes which Barbara hid in her hotel safe. With the lack of police cooperation, Damien and Millie have to decipher the notes before it is too late and Barbara is murdered in her hospital bed.

The Chocolate Labradoodle Caper (A Damien Dickens Mystery Book 3) by Phyllis Entis is an intense and exciting sleuth mystery. Damien is again confronting his arch-enemy, Turpin. Turpin has the city authorities in his pocket, deviating the objectivity of the municipal's law enforcement, making Damien's life more difficult. Millie and Damien's relationship is realistically meeting some roadblocks that they have to address. Damien meets these issues in his usual well-meaning and hard-headed way. This is the third Damien Dickens Mystery novel and the books just keep getting better. Hershey, the Labradoodle, is introduced in this episode and it seems like he is going to make a marvelous addition to the series. Damien's dicey exploits are thrilling and addictive. I can't wait for his next mystery, and I highly recommend his adventures to those who enjoy reading whodunits.
