Come meet

the newest addition to the Sleuth family. After 32 years of cats--Porky, Winston, Popi aka Ploppy, Princess, Peaches, Petosky, Perry, and Paddington--the cat era has come to an end. In comes Percy, sorry, Sir Percival, and the era of the dog has begun. Marian wanted a dog for the cottage, and JD has always been mildy allergic to cats (and dogs), so a resaonable compromise was a hypo-allergenic Standard Poodle (from Pendragon Poodles).

Paddington was the last of the cats to join the family and the last to leave, but, alas, leave he has, to join his siblings in the great mouse hunting grounds of the sky. That's Paddinton, the oh-so-beautiful cat in the middle picture below. And, yeah, that's him and his dad hard at work, keeping the couch from flying off.

ComE MEET

Elizabeth Duncan
author of Brush With Death (#2) ($29.99) A Penny Brannigan mystery.
She will be at Sleuth, Saturday, July 31 from 2-3 pm,
to launch her new novel. This sequel to the delightful
Cold Light of Mourning (#1) ($9.99) again features expatriate Canadian
Penny Brannigan, owner of the local manicure shop in the North Wales
market town of Llanelen.Come meet Elizabeth, let her tell you about her new novel.

Come meet Percy
Dog In Residence

He does tend to keep eccentric hours, so call ahead if you need to see him. Otherwise, it's by luck or by chance. He's often away the first half of the week, so from Thursdays on the chances are better. Safer to call his secretary (J.D.) and book an appointment (416-483-3111).

Need a book?
And it's not a mystery?
NO problem.
New, old, in print, out of print, we can track it down.

our much lauded newsletter** is available by subscription at an annual fee of CDN$50. Agree to buy at least $200 of books in any calendar year and we'll waive the fee. Look, we don't really want to charge you for the newsletter, but we gotta pay for the postage costs somehow. So, buy a few books a year and make us happy. Ask for a complimentary copy and we'll mail you one. Or, view one here. Of course, as shipping costs outside of Canada and the US are really high, we'll need you to buy lots of books, say
