It is always nice to revisit Corinna and the quirky characters of Insula (her apartment building). I love the way the various characters grown and develop from book to book, and that includes the cats and the fewer dogs. The Spotted Dog includes several mysteries. First there is a stolen dog which Daniel is hired to find. But there are also repeated breakins at Insula, malware on the computer at the Greek restaurant, and a young woman visitor incapacitated by trauma. In her inimitable way, Corinna helps get to the bottom of things. An excellent story with recipes at the back.
