I think an explanation is needed. First that Odysseus Vizard is very much like Hercule Poirot. Except in these stories he is a small blue bird. The other it is a collection of Odysseus Vizard stories. 7 in fact

1. The Odd Happenings at Esme
2. Death on the Course
3. The Death of Allen Timberlake
4. Murder at Cliff House
5. Lord Tumbell Dies
6. The Alphabet Killer
7. Killer at the Dig

The biggest difference between all of these tales and the stories by Agatha Christie.

The stories are not as intense or drawn out. They were obviously written for a furry audience, and light readers at that.

The only reason I mention this is. I consider myself a light reader, I won’t mention how long it took me to read all 7 novels. Just that I did enjoy them, found them interesting. Also you could leave for a while a return to the stories. Often with my schedule I have to do this when I start reading something, I have no choice but put them aside for a while.

No you don’t have to read the original works to enjoy them. I have not read or seen a lot of the original works. But I do enjoy them.

So how do I rate all 7 stories? To be honest I give a 8 out of 10 and would recommend it to anyone wanting to read a furry mystery with very interesting characters. I would say the gathering of the suspects was so damn unique.
