A very unique and original sleuthing team! Jules and her partner in crime solving, Bun, are back and this time the competition is playing for keeps! A local event, showcasing rabbits in agility, speed, and beauty, has Jules and Bun trying to find a murderer before they're the next victims!

I had heard about this cozy mystery series, with a sleuthing team of the owner of the Fur Bridge Ranch, where abused and abandoned rabbits are cared for and adopted and her rabbit who telepathically "talks" to her. I enjoy cozy mysteries with animals and had heard good things about the book so I gave it a try and I had a fun time crime solving with Jules and Bun!

The mystery is fast-paced and I loved the interaction with Jules and Bun. The supporting characters were relatable and enhanced the story. Jules is practical, kind and caring and the lovable Bun makes you forget he's a rabbit with his sleuthing abilities. There is no romance I'm the book - yet - and I enjoyed the fact that the story was all about the mystery. I like that I got to know Jules and Bun before a love interest shows up.

I'm ready for another adventure. I received an ARC from NetGalley of this book and this review represents my honest and fair opinions of this book.

Who's Dead, Doc? by J. M. Griffin is the 2nd book in the Jules & Bun Mystery series, and another fun story. Juliette “Jules” Bridge runs a rabbit rescue farm in New Hampshire, and Bun is her rabbit who speaks to her through mental telepathy. Jules is having a petting pen at a birthday party, when one of the guests is found dead. The hostess and even Sheriff Carver ask her to go undercover and judge a rabbit show. I love the unique aspect of a human who are able to communicate. A fun, cozy mystery with plenty of twists and turns. I recommend this book and am looking forward to the next book in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This was a fun read and I learned a lot about rabbits. I haven't read the first book yet but will now. I love that Bun is not a telepathic cat or dog, and you can tell his relationship with Jules is still evolving but very close. The story was well paced with lots of twists and kept my interest all the way through. The characters were interesting as was the Fur Bridge Farm's setup. Jules is tenacious and, once given the green light to investigate, can't just let it go when told to stop. She gets in some sticky situations but with Bun's (and the sheriff's) help makes it through unscathed. I'm not a big fan of romance in cozies so I was happy that there's no romantic interest although I could see how one might develop with Adam.

I received an advance copy via NetGalley and this is my honest review.

Bun and Jules are back and this time the untimely death of everyone's NOT favorite person, Evelyn; takes place right next to a birthday party gig. No one saw anything, except that Jules noticed Evelyn and party hostess Carina having a very heated conversation before the start of the party. The only redeeming trait that Evelyn possessed was her love of rabbits and her excellent organization of the rabbit show taking place at the Windermere Exhibition Hall. As luck would have it, Jules is asked to be a judge. This gives her and Bun the opportunity to help a frazzled Carina as well as be the eyes and ears for Sheriff Jack Carver (at his request). You don't need to have read the previous book to be caught up with the "superpowered" Bun and Fur Bridge Farm owner Juliette Bridge. The story offers several viable suspects and I didn't even realize who the true villain was until the big reveal. The story moves along at a good pace, of course, part of that is due to Bun's desire to hop to it! I would like to see a romantic element added to the story just because I am a die-hard romantic cozy reader and figure that for all the times Officer Andy is looking out for Jules, there should be a little spark there, just maybe. A very good story that I hope, will keep multiplying just like rabbits!

A telepathic rabbit? Yep= Bun the bunny can communicate with Jules and thus help her to solve crimes! As implausible as that sounds, this is a cozy and therefore, it works. In this second installment in the series (and it will be fine as a standalone), Jules takes Bun to a petting zoo at a birthday party where Evelyn is found dead. Well, you know that Evelyn had a number of people who did not like her (with good reason) but she was also a big deal in the rabbit world. Jules' love interest, Sheriff Jack Carver, actually asks Jules to get involved (a switch from most cozies!) Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. It's sweet, there are bunnies (I learned a few things), and the mystery isn't too complicated, making this a nice relaxing read.

This second Jules & Bun Mystery was as cute as the first one. Main character, Jules, lives on a farm where she rescues and rehabilitates bunnies. One of the bunnies, Bun, communicates telepathically with Jules. In this book, they are guests at a birthday part where another guests turns up dead. It is up to Jules and Bun to solve the mystery after the hostess of the party begs Jules for help.

This was a fun and entertaining cozy mystery. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I'm looking forward to more of Jules and Bun in the future.

Juliette and her rabbit Bun (he talks!) solve this crime. Victim is mean spirited and blackmailing most of town. Suspects and motives are clear but the journey to find the killer is entertaining. Rabbit competition is fun and adds a unique view of people and their pet rabbits.

Who's Dead, Doc? is a charming and sometimes a bit funny cosy mystery. I loved Jules and Bun and the plot and storyline is well crafted, even if I had my suspisions on the murderer.

Who's Dead, Doc is the second book in this fun series by J.M Griffin.
When I read the first book, I was unsure how I felt about the story line. The idea of a telepathic bunny seems impossible, however, after reading this book, I actually found myself glued to the pages, laughing and enjoying the story.
Jules runs Fur Bridge Farm in rural New Hampshire, a rescue for rabbits that need good homes.
As part of her rabbit rehabilitation, some of Jules rabbits make appearances at birthday parties. It's during one of these events that an untimely death takes place.
With her trusty sidekick beside her, Jules and Bun go deep into the world of show rabbits to find the answers.

Be sure to follow Jules and Bun on this exciting adventure.

This is the 2nd installment in the Jules and Bun Mystery series. Juliet (Jules) Bridges runs a farm that rescues and rehabilitates rabbits. One of her pet rabbits Bun can also telepathically talk to her and helped her solve a murder previously. This time she takes Bun with her as part of a petting farm for a birthday party. At the end of the party Jules finds one of the guests (Evelyn Montgomery) dead in the bushes with a knife in her chest. Jules did not really know the woman but did know she had a heated argument with another guest and not many people seemed to like her at the party. She also was going to be a judge at an upcoming rabbit show. Jules gets drafted at the last minute to judge and the sheriff wants her to act undercover to find some facts at the show. Never really knew there were rabbit competitions but the mystery was good and I like Jules and Bun. This is an interesting premise with an unlikely pet but it works and the story is a good read.

I really like the characters, the setting and the idea of a telepathic bunny. In this one the main character starts by working closely with the sheriff, but then he asks her to stop. However, the MC doesn't. and ends up in some sticky situations.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Who's Dead, Doc is the second in the Jules & Bun Mystery series set in small town New Hampshire and featuring Jules Bridge, owner of Fur Bridge Farm, a rabbit rescue. Jules and her rabbits have been hired to appear along with friend and puppeteer, Bailey at a children's birthday party and she's brought along her sidekick Bun, the telepathic rabbit. As the party is breaking up, Jules discovers the body of Evelyn Montgomery lying dead in the bushes.

Jules didn't know the woman well but she'd had a few dealings with her recently as Evelyn was in charge of the upcoming rabbit show, where Jules was going to enter Petra, her long hair rabbit that she'd trained to do tricks. Based upon the argument Evelyn had with another woman at the party, and the negative comments the show attendees are making about her, Jules is really not surprised that someone murdered the woman. The host of the birthday party asks Jules to find out who killed Evelyn and things fall into place when Sheriff Jack Carver also asks for her help in tracking down the killer.

A plot that hops along with returning characters and cute rabbits. The book seems to end a little abruptly and once again I was left wondering why nobody ever seems to adopt the rabbits that Jules has rehabilitated. I was also a little disappointed that Andrew Stone, the veteran from the first book doesn't make an appearance in this addition to the series.

I received an advanced copy of Who's Dead, Doc from NetGalley via Kensington Publishing. While not required to write a review I am happy to offer my honest opinion.

This is an enjoyable book. I loved the rabbits especially Bun. This book has many twists in it, it goes from a child's birthday party to a rabbit show to a rabbit farm and all around. The ending was great, I had no idea who the killer was until it was revealed. #WhosDeadDoc #NetGalley

What a pair of amateur sleuths Jules and Bun make in this enjoyable read (and series) from a great author. I have to admit Bun makes the books for me.

This is the second book in this series. Having read and enjoyed Left Fur Dead, I was waiting to read Who's Dead, Doc?
Bun, the cutie patootie bunny is back! He cannot stop hopping around when he learns that Jules' help is required in solving the case.

Jules and Bun form quite an amateur sleuthing pair. Bun's words of wisdom make this story an enjoyable read.
The mystery and suspense kept me hooked on to the story until the end. Bunny rabbits add oodles of cozy charm to the story. I recommend this book to those who love cozy mysteries.
