Precarious Pasta by Mildred Abbott is about Halloween getting closer, and so is a certain anniversary.

Will Fred and Watson be caught up in solving another mystery before Halloween?


Winifred "Fred" Page and Watson


Fred is back solving a mystery. I love how she and Watson are when they are solving a mystery as it is so cute. Watson was so excited that he was happy for a few days. Watson is spoiled by everyone he sees, even if Fred tries to rein him from getting treats or baked goods. These two are good at solving mysteries, even if they stumble on them and feel they need to solve them. Fred's addiction to her dirty chai is integrated into this storyline because of some of her late-night sleuthing.

The Mystery


Fred, Watson, and Leo all stumble into a crime scene by accident, thinking they are meeting someone else. Let's say that a certain someone we all don't miss shows up around this anniversary and makes Leo believe this isn't a coincidence. Fred and Watson are determined to figure out who killed the poor victim, only to be handed a lot of evidence that ties a specific crime mafia family to it all. Winifred tries to think clearly to figure out the murders and find the murderer or murderers if they aren't linked. Let's say that I fell for a red herring...again. I don't know how that keeps happening.
Five Stars

Precarious Pasta by Mildred Abbott is a brilliant story that showcases Ms. Abbott's fantastically built-up imagination of Fred and Watson solving their mysteries with such finesse. I love these stories a lot, and I hope that Fred and Leo will be okay after that certain someone is gone from their lives again. Fred, Watson, and Leo make such a cute family together. I am giving Precarious Pasta by Mildred Abbott five stars and recommending it to anyone that loves a good Cozy Culinary Animal Mystery.
