The Dog Who Came In From The Cold Audiobook

" As usual, Alexander McCall Smith's ability to capture human nature is riveting. "

" Another book to leave you feeling good and very amused. "

" Alexander McCall Smith once again captures the everyday, sometimes unusual things that people experience and writes in a way that you feel like you know the people in the novel. "

" The second book in the Corduroy Mansions series was a bit more bizarre than the first one. Terrier Freddie de la Hay is recruited by MI6 to use in a corporate espionage sting, there is a plot to steal Terrence's home, and also, there's a alleged yeti roaming around London. Despite the extremely odd plot line, McCall Smith makes this one, like the first in the series, a comforting, cozy read, focusing on home, family, friends, and neighbors. It's obvious that there will be a third book in the series, and I'll be reading that one as well. "

" More like 3.5. I don't like this series as much as 44 Scotland Street, but I still enjoyed it. "

" I cannot get through a month without adding another Alexander McCall Smith novel. Though I started the Corduroy Mansions series with some misgivings, I have fallen in love with the characters and find the plots and people fresh. How does A.M. Smith keep it up?? "

" A very enjoyable book with entertaining characters. Mr Smith always seems to come up with un-extraordinary but very entertaining and sometimes downright silly characters. A pleasant read that left me smiling and kept me reading. The plot jumped around to the different characters, but this didn't bother me as much and kept me wondering what would happen next. A relaxing book. "

" A light read. Enjoyed it, but not as much as this author's No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Series. "

" I liked the book because I like the author but it wasn't one of my favorites. "

" Cleaver. Would like to read more by this author. "

" This was a great fun read keeping in the spirit of Alexander McCall Smith. "

" Highly enjoyable sequel to Corduroy Mansions. Will look forward to the next installment! "

" Yes...the dog is a spy...and lots of hilarity ensues. "

" My fantasy is that Alexander McCall Smith has as much fun writing his novels as I have reading them. I enjoyed this one, in its many, mostly playful, moods. And, McCall Smith has such a lovely way with language - delightful, all around. But, I am a devoted fan! "

" 3.5 stars. Again, just an easy book to enjoy. Very comfortable. "

" The Dog who came in from the Cold is a charming continuation of the lives of the Corduroy Mansions residents. I'm especially glad that Pimlico terrier Freddie de la Hay gets his own chapters as he is loaned out to MI6. "

" Had a hard time finding this book but was dying to know what happened to the characters from Corduroy Mansions. Was disappointed in the book. Freddie de la Hay becomes an undercover agent but is caught. William gets him back. I felt so badly for William. "

" A delight. Very similar in unique format and humor to the Scotland Street series, which I love. (Although no character here was quite as funny as Bertie or Irene.) I hadn't read the first in this series for quite a while, but still did fine without reviewing. "

" I liked this even better than the first. Loveable, laughable characters that perhaps are too honestly a reflection of our own goofy selves and occasional revealing insights into the human condition in the midst of a quirky story. The third installment goes on my "to read" list. "

" This is the second book in the Corduroy Mansions series and I loved this one as much as I did the first one. You can't help but love Freedie de la Hay, the Pimlico Terrier, and all the quirky characters. "

" As always, Alexander McCall Smith does not disappoint. I love the wit and charm of the all of this characters and this book is no exception. It is the second in the Corduroy Mansion Series and this time, we get to know the dog even more as he takes on the starring role! "

" A nice book, like all of McCall Smith's work. Gentle and breezy and well-written. Engaging characters. Totally unbelievable story, but enjoyable to read. I'll forget it in a week, but it was worth reading. "

" A lot of characters to follow, and I'm not sure if I love all the English names and words. "

" Nothing particularly special but another charming addition to the Corduroy Mansion series. "

" An enormous cast of characters whom McCall Smith handles with charm, but not much of a mystery. "

" Delightful. Characters ponder life, discuss philosophy, have small but significant personal adventures and generally make their way through life and loves. Enjoyable as usual. "

" Had a hard time finding this book but was dying to know what happened to the characters from Corduroy Mansions. Was disappointed in the book. Freddie de la Hay becomes an undercover agent but is caught. William gets him back. I felt so badly for William. "

" 2nd book to the Corduroy mansions series - i liked it better than the first. a good light read after the epic david mitchell book. "

" Whilst I really love his Edinburgh and Botswana series, these books based in London make a nice change "

" this was the second in the Corduroy Mansions series. Unfortunately for me there was too great a time lapse between series so i had forgotten many of the characters. Nevertheless another very enjoyable read from a favourite author. "

" Another book to leave you feeling good and very amused. "

" Any book that makes me laugh out loud must be good for me and others. Read and enjoy.Thank you AMS "

" I relish my time spent reading a little section of this each day! I'm pretty sure I've laughed out loud at almost every chapter. "
