In Too Many, part of Fletcher's Elvis costume for an act in a pet talent show is missing, as is a fellow dog/contestant. Fletcher, the sleuthing basset hound, works to figure out who's behind the sabotage. In Ghoul, Fletcher, on a ski vacation with his owners, uncovers the truth behind mysterious messages appearing in the snow. The humorous, slight stories are fast paced, and the characters are likable. [Review covers these Ready-for-Chapters: A Fletcher Mystery titles: The Cool Ghoul Mystery and The Mystery of Too Many Elvises.]

Ready-for-Chapters: A Fletcher Mystery series.
Illustrated by
Mordicai Gerstein.
When preparations for a masked ball to celebrate the opening of a new park are sabotaged (masks made by kids for their pets are chewed up, a fire is set, the electricity is shut off), it's up to sleuthing basset hound Fletcher to solve the mystery. Levy's simple story, though a bit thin, is fast paced and humorous with a distinct cast of likable characters and illustrated with black-and-white pictures.
