Sausage and Mash Pawsome Pet Detectives

Every great detective duo has to start somewhere...

Arthur is no ordinary dachshund. Impeccably dressed and endlessly devoted to the great detectives-especially Sherlock Holmes-he dreams of solving mysteries and becoming a super sleuth himself. There's just one problem: he's only talking to the fish in the family aquarium about it!

Everything changes when a chance meeting brings him whisker-to-whisker with a bold and brilliant British Blue cat named Masha. She's clever, curious, and completely independent-she doesn't even have a bedtime!

What begins as a tense encounter quickly turns into an irresistible opportunity: Arthur and Masha discover they've both been missing adventure. So, they form a detective agency-Sausage and Mash (a name Arthur finds deeply undignified).

Their very first case? A puzzling mystery brought to them by a cheeky family of Cockney squirrels-who just so happen to live in the oak tree Arthur considers entirely his own.

As they investigate, Arthur and Masha must navigate:

• • Mischievous squirrels speaking in baffling rhyming slang
  • A dignified German Shepherd with a surprising past
  • A fashionable pug with opinions on everything
  • A hedgehog who doesn't know the Animal Code
  • And a pair of troublesome dogs determined to cause chaos

But the biggest challenge of all may be learning to work together.

Full of humour, heart, and unforgettable characters, Sausage and Mash: Pawsome Pet Detectives is a delightful introduction to a charming new series about friendship, differences, and discovering that the best partnerships come from the most unexpected places.
