Summary
Dr. Kate Turner is happy with her new life in Oak Falls in upstate New York. Working as a relief veterinarian at a small house-call practice, she truly enjoys helping her patients.
All that changes when client Claire Birnham is found dead, an apparent suicide. A talented artist, Claire had everything to live for: a new job,;a Manhattan apartment; her cairn terrier, Toto. As feisty as the Wizard of Oz's Toto, he and Claire were devoted to each other. Kate can't imagine Claire simply abandoning her pet. Was her death murder?
Questions end when police arrest young kennel helper Eugene. The fragile friendship between Kate and police officer Luke Gianetti frays as she ignores his advice and keeps asking questions. House calls provide gossip and clues, some helpful, some not so much, as she treats her animal patients. Did Claire's recent insurance windfall prove too tempting for her hardworking and hard-drinking mother? What does trouble in the art gallery where Claire worked signal? How huge a grudge did heavy metal rocker A. J. hold against high school sweetheart Claire after she dumped him? Was Claire a threat to A. J.'s rich new girl?
Dr. Kate mixes real medicine with murder as she risks her life over Claire's death, aided by insights from a former fire investigator, aka her gramps. Unleashed is just as irresistible as Dr. Kate's first adventure, Muzzled.

Unleash the fun
I enjoyed this book. This is book two in the series and like the first book it is packed full of humour about life being a vet, you don't need to have read the first book to enjoy this one but I liked both. I loved the little snippets and antics caused by the animals and often there owners, it makes the story entertaining. Especially as Kate works on a murder while running away from attacking geese and dressed up grumpy pooches. The mystery was interesting containing a number of suspects and even motives. I had guessed the motive pretty early on but wasn't sure about the killer. I liked the characters, Kate is a good main character, strong capable and above all level headed. It makes a nice change to have the character work out the killer before being in danger, that's not to say she doesn't face down the barrel of a gun. Good job she is a veterinarian. A nice series for both mystery and animal loves. Off to start the next book.
Dr. Kate Turner is surprised to learn that rather than pick up a beloved dog, Claire his owner has killed herself. Knowing she would never leave him without making arrangements, was about to move and start a new job, Kate is sceptical about the suicide ruling. When a special needs kennel Tec is over heard confessing to the murder, Kate steps in to clear his name. There is no way the shy, quiet Tec is responsible. Instead Kate start looking into Claire's new job, her old boyfriend and even her drunk mother. Could one of them be responsible? And if so can Kate find the killer before she becomes the next target because somebody wants her to stop pressing that it wasn't a suicide.
I liked the narrator. She has a pleasant laid back voice just right for the unflappable Dr. Kate Turner.

Easy listening
Fun story that was entertaining. Some annoying repetition here and there but it didn’t stop me listening.

Easy listening
A nice easy listening story, well read, no horrible surprises, interesting snippets about vet practice, although American, make it a bit more interesting. I didn't guess the ending, so it was well construct imo.

Robotic narration spoils a decent story
I am still undecided whether the narrator is a patronising human or a robot. Even changing the speed didn’t make it easier to enjoy the tale.
The book would have been enjoyable with a different narrator

EnJoyable
Easy listening, narration a joy, characters rounded plot entertaining, though concerns a murder, the chinese, Russian. Characters and art fraud bring into the 21Century.

Pleasant fun listen
Nothing too demanding about this story but it’s warm and fun. Nothing too gruesome but good characters and good setting

Robotic performance & slow moving
It’s no wonder the author had to open with the prologue of the murder, it was so slow moving and the narration so irritating, that I couldn’t make it past chapter 3.
The performance sounds like it is being delivered by a sat nav, really grating and flat.
The story may have been ok but there was already a strong feeling of cliche before it got going.
I would’ve preserved if the performance was stronger as it probably deserved more of a chance.
Disappointing.
