My “to be read” pile is a bit out of
control at the moment. What I really
need is an entire weekend where I can park it somewhere and read for
hours. Unfortunately…I have a real life
so that is never going to happen. It is
always good to dream though.

4 stars
In this charming book, Cyrus, a veterinarian,
returns home to Vermont to take over his father’s business. Cyrus has served the past years as an animal
pathologist, mostly working with animals after they are dead to make a
diagnosis. His new job forces him to
work with live animals, their owners and a villainous manager from the vet
competition (replete with a mustache and cackling laugh). This is the second in the series about Cyrus
Mills and while it would have been useful to read the first book it is not
absolutely necessary. Cyrus proves to be
somewhat of a genius at diagnosing animal diseases and his process of eliminating
possibilities provides compelling storylines.
His interactions with his clients and neighbors are amusing and fun to
watch as Cyrus comes out of his introverted shell. This is an easy and enjoyable read that is
well written and humorous. I received
this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
