Oh, Henry by Morgen Bailey-Cozy animal mystery *Giveaway *
Henri is a dog- a Jack Russell who lives in a lab. He has developed the ability to talk as
a side effect of a medication he was given. He has learnt English from watching TV.
Gwynne looks after him and he is almost never on his own. He is walked within the
grounds but longs to go to the outside world in order to learn more.. Oh and to eat
alligator steak. One night the lab is broken into and Henri fools the burglars into
thinking his voice is CGI and gets some information from them. When he is stolen,
Henri has to use his wherewithal in order for things to get back to normal.
I enjoyed this and feel that other dog lovers will too. Non dog people might not
“get” Henri and the things he says but it certainly made me smile and I could
picture his escapades well. The dognappers not being the brightest crew made
me think of some of the old spoof type films. I could see this being the
perfect read for grandparents to read to their grandchildren- a little adventure,
humour on most pages and a larger than life character (think Scooby Do).
An enjoyable read.

Book Description:
Set in Northamptonshire, England... Henry, a talking Jack Russell, is part of a small team researching a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. He is the target of several dognappers but can he use his wit or guile to outwit them and, with the help of forty-year-old laboratory assistant Gwynne Davies, find the proof needed to convict the criminals. Thus begins a series of adventures for the unlikely pair. There have been amateur sleuths, there have been talking animals – Henry is both. This is Family Guy's Brian meets Poirot meets My Fair Lady.
Tagline: Henry, a nineteen-month-old Jack Russell, has been given the ability to talk and now they can't shut him up! Family Guy's Brian with just as much attitude but better sleuthing skills.
USP: There have been amateur sleuths, there have been talking animals – Henry is both.
‘Oh, Henry’ may look like a young adult or children's novel but the main human character is a woman in her early forties so a more general appeal. 'For the young in all of us'.
