About the Author:
Darrel and Sally Odgers were both born in Tasmania in 1957, and have been married since 1979. They have two grown up children, James and Tegan. Their first book together was published in the 1990s. The Jack Russell series is their most successful collaboration so far, and they thank their inspiration, Ace, for that: " She was lively, opinionated, busy, and always curious. She loved swimming, and playing ball games of her own invention. We were out walking one day and Ace, as usual, was sticking her nose into everything. "She's a real detective,"said Darrel. We spent the rest of the walk planning the adventures of a dog detective! When we wrote up the proposal for the series, we had Ace sign it with a paw print, for luck. It must have worked, because the Jack Russell: Dog Detective series has grown to eight books, with more to come."

Jack Russell, dog detective, has the neighborhood well under surveillance, or so he thinks. One fine day, when he finds no dogs out and about, he decides it is his mission to determine what creature is terrorizing (or terrier-izing--in dogspeak) the neighborhood such that no dog, or cat, will leave home. Alan King takes the animal world to heart and to voice. He is a boisterous and authoritative Jack--until the Awful Pawful has Jack terrier-fied. Kings neighborhood dogs are portrayed playfully and distinctly, and his scared/angry dog and cat sound effects will make any dog, cat, or human cringe. Each chapters endnotes become a way of confirming the young listeners understanding of dogspeak in the preceding segment.
